Proposition 6 is a comprehensive
anti-gang and crime reduction measure that will bring more cops
and increased safety to our streets, along with greater
efficiency and accountability to public safety programs.
Proposition 6 returns taxpayers
money to local law enforcement without raising taxes. It
creates a special oversight commission to guard and protect tax
dollars from waste and abuse.
Gangs are a leading cause of
California’s rising murder rate. According to the Attorney
General, upwards of 420,000 gang members roam our streets.
Convicted felons and gang members with firearms commit the
majority of gun crimes, including the killing of peace
officers.
Proposition 6 is a comprehensive
plan that addresses crime and gang violence on many levels,
including:
a)
Prohibiting bail to illegal immigrants who are charged
with violent or gang-related crimes.
b)
Imposing a ten-year penalty increase on gang offenders
who commit violent felonies.
c)
Creating more effective and accountable intervention
programs to stop young kids from joining gangs and ruining their
lives.
d)
Requiring convicted gang offenders to register with local
law enforcement each year for five years following a conviction
or their release from custody.
e)
Providing GPS tracking equipment for monitoring gang
offenders, sex offenders and violent offenders.
f)
Increasing penalties for the manufacture and sale of
methamphetamine to the same level of those for cocaine.
g)
Adding a ten-year sentence to dangerous felons who carry
loaded or concealed firearms in public.
h)
Increasing penalties for multiple acts of graffiti.
Propostion 6 asks voters to
prioritize 1% of California’s General Fund budget for local law
enforcement without raising taxes.
