Just when I thought California was as stupid as it gets....

It now wants to change when a police officer could use deadly force. I'm sure next week, the Black Caucus will demand that we say "Pretty Please" before any arrest.

The article as written is a bit confusing in that Officers are already taught and train to use "deadly force" only as a last resort. In the article, a county Officer and special prosecutor noted the following:

"Officers already use deadly force only when necessary and are taught to try to defuse dangerous situations first when possible, said Ed Obayashi, a Plumas County sheriff’s deputy and special prosecutor who trains officers and testifies in court on police use of force."

Sounds to me like there splitting hairs.

I wonder what this evolved/devolved into?
I wish them well.

Pretty sure they are now hiring illegal aliens as cops, so I am going to go with devolved.

I just thought this thread needed to be updated:
California has some unusual car laws, including:

• Jumping from a moving car: In Glendale, it's illegal to jump from a moving car, unless it's going less than 65 miles per hour.
• Housecoat driving: It's illegal for women to drive while wearing a housecoat.
• Autonomous vehicle speed limit: Autonomous vehicles can't drive faster than 60 miles per hour in California.
• Peacocks have the right-of-way: In Arcadia, peacocks have the right-of-way to cross the street.
• No street washing: In Downey, it's illegal to wash your car in the street.
• No loud music: In Norco, your car's sound system can't be heard outside the vehicle.
• Stupid motorist law: If you drive on a public street that's flooded and barricaded, you're responsible for any emergency response costs.

I'm still scratching my head over #1?

They need a law for that?
If a woman kicks her boyfriends out of a fast-moving car, he gets charged and not her?

Years ago, there use to be a California statute prohibiting shooting a whale from a public highway. We learned this in my police academy class.

I would have to be desperate to jump at 15 mph.

Note to self...

Call 911 before you jump.
