Crimes.

Existing law makes it a crime to violate various provisions prohibiting certain actions against a peace officer or his or her family, other first responders, or public officials, including, but not limited to, removing an officer's firearm while resisting arrest, maliciously disclosing specified personal information about the officer with the intent to obstruct justice or the due administration of the laws, and using a stun gun against a peace officer or firefighter. Existing law generally makes the violation of these provisions misdemeanors or felonies punishable in a county jail, as specified, or both a misdemeanor or a felony, commonly referred to as a wobbler. This bill would revise these provisions to make all of the misdemeanors instead punishable as wobblers, the wobblers instead punishable as felonies in county jail, as specified, and make all of the felonies punishable in county jail instead punishable in state prison, as specified. By increasing the punishment for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
