Everyone knows that you're not supposed to take something that isn't yours. This includes cars. However, that doesn't stop some people from stealing another person's car. Stealing and being convicted of auto theft in California one time is bad. Getting caught multiple times is worse. The...

Most assume that all prisons are government funded. While many are, there are also for-profit, or private prisons, scattered throughout the United States. The main benefit of for-profit prisons is that they provide some relief to taxpayers. They also help generate additional jobs, especially in the for-profit prisons that operate in rural areas where jobs are sometimes difficult to come by. According to the Vittana Organization, the impact private prisons have on the U.S. economy comes to about $80 billion annually. That's a lot of money. For-profit prisons ease the overpopulation problems connected with government-funded prisons. Prisoners who come out of private prisons are less likely to commit crimes in the future, the re-offense rate for individuals who were sentenced to a private prison is 20%. That number climbs to 80% when you look at prisoners who were incarcerated at government-funded prisons There is also the argument that for-profit prisons provide individuals who want to work in law enforcement and security with entry-level jobs that look good on their resumes. While there are some good things connected to for-profit prisons, it's not all positive. The downside to for-profit prisons include:
  • For-profit prisons don't take everyone, they can pick and choose who they wish to house, this could explain why the re-offense rate for private prisons is so low.
  • They aren't always monitored as closely as they should be
  • They don't have a contract with the community they're based out of
  • Violent acts of inmates against employees are very high, about 50%
  • There aren't always as many rehabilitation and educational opportunities in a for-profit prison

Every parent who has an infant knows that they’re supposed to have a car seat installed in their vehicle. They even know that it’s state law. What some parents don’t know is how important the car seat is and the consequences of having a car seat that doesn’t meet current safety standards, that isn’t properly installed, or that isn’t properly fitted to their child. According to Car Buyers Guide, "in a recent study, the RSA inspected 5000 child seat installations from the public and found that over 4000 of them needed adjustments of some kind to ensure optimum safety." California’s lawmakers used Vehicle Code 27360 VC to address the issue of car seats. The law clearly states that:
  • Children under the age of 2 must be properly restrained in a rear-facing car seat
  • Children under the age of 8 must ride in the back seat and be safely restrained in an age/size appropriate safety seat.
  • The child must be secured into the safety car seat in a manner that complies with both height and weight limits that are to be specified by the car seat manufacturer.

anaheim-bail-bonds One of the more confusing criminal charges California has is the accessory after the fact. Many people don’t know that it’s possible to get into trouble for a crime that they weren’t involved with until well after the crime happened. California law stipulates that anyone who basically takes steps to hinder a criminal investigation could be charged with accessory after the fact. This means that if you help or conceal a loved one who has committed a crime, you will likely find yourself in hot legal water. An accessory after the fact charge isn’t something you should joke about. It’s a felony that comes with a potential sentencing that includes a three-year stay in one of California’s state prisons. Accessory after the fact charges are touched on in California’s Penal Code 32 (PC). It states that:
    “Every person who, after a felony has been committed, harbors, conceals or aids a principal in such felony, with the intent that said principal may avoid or escape from arrest, trial, conviction or punishment, having knowledge that said the principal has committed such felony or has been charged with such felony or convicted thereof, is an accessory to such felony.”

Kids and hot cars are never a good combination. Everyone knows that, yet there is still an average of 38 children who die each year after they’re locked into a hot car. In all fairness, nearly all of these cases are an accident. The child...
