| To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 784 without my signature. This bill authorizes an increased financial penalty in situations where a person takes photographs or video footage of another person without their consent and intentionally distributes it or makes it available to another person. I don't believe the additional $1,000 called for in this bill does anything to deter this type of conduct. The underlying crime-the recording of the image-is already punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, and courts currently have discretion to order that any restitution include economic losses incurred by the victim. Moreover, civil remedies are available in these situations. I believe that current law already provides sufficient criminal and civil liability. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr. |
