Report 2015-130: The CalGang Criminal Intelligence System: As the Result of Its Weak Oversight Structure, It Contains Questionable Information That May Violate Individuals' Privacy Rights (Release Date: August 2016)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To promote public participation in key issues that may affect California's citizens and to help ensure consistency in the use of any shared gang database, the Legislature should require Justice to interpret and implement shared gang database requirements through the regulatory process. This process should include public hearings and should address adopting criteria for identifying gang members. These criteria should define which offenses are consistent with gang activity.
Description of Legislative Action
Assembly Bill 90 (Weber, Chapter 695, Statutes of 2017) requires Justice to promulgate regulations governing the use, operation, and oversight of any shared gang database.
