Criminal gangs: shared gang databases.

Existing law defines a shared gang database, and requires the Department of Justice to regulate and oversee any shared gang database in which California law enforcement agencies participate, as specified. Existing law requires the department to establish the Gang Database Technical Advisory Committee, comprised of specified members, including a representative of organizations that specialize in gang violence intervention. This bill would add an attorney with substantial professional experience in contesting an individual's designation as a gang member in a shared gang database, appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, to the advisory committee membership.
