Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to the prosecution of criminal offenses committed by law enforcement officers. Current law provides that the attorney general may prosecute a criminal offense committed by a law enforcement officer arising from the actions of the officer resulting in the death of another. The bill provides that if the attorney general determines that the officer acted with legal justification in using deadly force to avoid injury or risk to the officer’s life or the safety or life of another, no other prosecuting agency shall bring an unreasonable use of force case against the officer.
