Summary

(1) Existing law makes it a crime for a person to willfully obtain the personal identifying information of another and to use that information for any unlawful purpose, to acquire or retain possession of the personal identifying information of another person with the intent to defraud, and to sell the personal identifying information of another with the intent to defraud. Under existing law, entering a vehicle when the doors are locked with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny or any felony is 2nd-degree burglary, punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony. This bill would make entering a vehicle when the doors are locked with the intent to commit the theft of any electronic device capable of holding personal and confidential information a felony. By increasing the punishment for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law requires each sheriff or police chief executive to submit descriptions of serialized property, or nonserialized property that has been uniquely inscribed, which has been reported stolen, directly into the appropriate Department of Justice automated property system for stolen bicycles, stolen vehicles, or other property. This bill would require the Department of Justice to establish the California Stolen Property Inventory (CSPI) , an online database of all serialized property, or nonserialized property that has been uniquely inscribed, that has been reported to the department by an individual or by a law enforcement agency as stolen. The bill would require that the CSPI database be accessible to the public from the department's internet website and allow members of the public to input serialized numbers or other unique alpha-numeric identifiers to determine whether an item bearing that number has been reported stolen. (3) 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.
