This measure allocates a minimum of $965 million each year from the state General Fund for law enforcement and district attorneys facilities. Some funding will increase each year accordingly with the rise in the California Consumer Price Index. Approximately 30 new revisions to the criminal code are included in the measure, most covering gang-related activities. New crimes and penalties, with more potential for new life sentences, will be codified. Prop. 6 increases penalties for felons in possession of firearms under certain conditions and for violating gang-related injunctions.
A “Yes” vote means that $365 million would be used increase local law enforcement and parole officers and penalties for many crimes would increase, especially for gang related crimes.
- Prop. 6 is a comprehensive plan that addresses gang-related crime in a multifaceted way by employing more police officers and bringing more accountability and efficiency to taxpayer-funded public safety programs and agencies
- It increases funding for local police, sheriffs, district attorneys and probation officers without raising taxes
- Provides tougher punishment for gang crimes including methamphetamine distribution, drive-by-shootings and witness intimidation
- Funds victim-witness-protection programs
- Creates new, more effective, intervention programs to prevent youth from joining gangs and stopping the vicious cycle of inner-city crime
- Prohibits bail to non-citizens/illegal immigrants who are charged with violent or gang crimes
A “No” vote means that California will not spend additional money to increase local law enforcement and parole officers and penalties for many crimes would not increase.
- Prop. 6 requires massive spending increases which the state budget cannot afford
- The money diverted from the State General fund to increase state spending on prisons would threaten funds for other crucial programs such as public safety programs, education, and healthcare.
- Is wasteful, apportioning money to ineffective or unproven programs without accountability
- Will disrupt existing prevention and intervention programs
- Will target youth and increasingly try young people in adult court, intensifying the overcrowding of state and local jails
- Won’t increase public safety
- Adds unnecessary bureaucracy, further burdening the budget and taxpayers

PROP 6
Just what we need...9 more cop cars surrounding someone who ran a red light! That's my tax dollars well spent! I'm not willing to give up another dime for law enforcement in the bay area. We have enough. They just seem to like to gang up on people for petty traffic violations (I CONSTANTLY SEE IT HAPPENING) while someone getting raped or worse is left without help. As for the programs to help our youth...where are all the YMCA's? Oh that's right, they closed them all down trying to shift that funding to other programs that don't work....not to mention, we just bailed out lying, theiving corporations- screw the kids! The money will never get to them anyway!
I live in San Jose and the
I live in San Jose and the place is already CRAWLING with cruisers everywhere I go. We should do more with what we have. And the 'not increasing taxes' rhetoric is a farce. Bonds simply push our expenses to the future. It's a government's credit card.
So pretty much, you can say
So pretty much, you can say yes on prop. 5 and say yes on prop 6. and still save money? Awesome, how simple it is. Not to mention if the drug treatment doesn't work there are more cops/sheriffs out there.
Who is who
Criminal gang or government gang? i cant tell them apart anymore anyway! we have a government that lies and corrupts and goes to war for profit all the time LIYING about it and then we expect people in this country to OBEY and BEHAVE! And PAY!
yes i don't like gang violence and the innocent getting hurt! but i also don't like a rouge government and rouge cops and judges making a living busting my ass.
I am an average citizen. No gang member or criminal! just maybe a bit poor, but a hard working person that is trying to do the right thing by myself and other's and do you know how many times i have stood in court over some stupid traffic ticket or light out on the car or some other bull s--t and wasted time and money on the most petty crap. and all it makes me feel is that its all about revenue for these people so these people have a JOB! These politicians always up to some scam and putting money in each other's pockets and taking it out of yours.
we do not need more of them! just a better quality of them! NO! on this one!
What is this for?
Is there one good reason why we should pass a proposition that increases spending for law enformcement, AND pass a proposition that increases spending from drug offenders?
Of course not all crime is drug-related, but the synergy that is created by funding programs that allow drug offenders to be treated instead of incarcerated, relieves an already taxed penal system, and potentially allows these offenders to contribute meaningful to their communities seems to be an ample step in the right direction.
So why would we need to hire more parole officers again?
