Parole Overturned For Man Charged In Los Angeles Cop's Death
California's governor has overturned a parole board's recommendation to release a man convicted of masterminding a 1984 armed robbery that led to a shootout with police and killed a Los Angeles officer, according to a copy of the governor's decision obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday. Los Angeles Police Officer Duane Johnson was shot and killed during an ensuing gunbattle. A second officer, Archie Nagao who was shot in the neck but survived. Craig Lally, the president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents rank-and-file officers, said the robbery was a “cold-blooded execution of an on-duty police officer. Chan “should not receive the benefit of an early release, and be able to go home to his family, when Officer Johnson wasn't even able to see the birth of his own daughter,” Lally said in a letter to the parole board opposing his release.

CHP Could Be Put In Charge Of Quashing The Cannabis Black Market
Just because Californians legalized recreational marijuana doesn't mean there won't be folks who continue to break the law. Growing, selling and producing cannabis products, which will be taxed, will require state licenses. End users won't need medical cards to hold marijuana, so there could still be increased incentive to deal weed tax-free. A Golden State lawmaker wants to make sure the recreational market is well policed when licensed sales begin in January.

'Revenge Porn' Victims Will Be Able To Maintain Privacy In Court Under New Law Signed By Gov. Brown
Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday signed a state Senate bill that will allow victims who have intimate images shared without their consent to file a civil lawsuit under a pseudonym to maintain their privacy. The legislation by Sen. Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) was introduced to protect the confidentiality of anyone who brings a civil action against "revenge porn." Under the new law, when a victim's pseudonym is used in court, it will also have to be used in all pleadings, documents, proceedings and other case records.

L.A. Begins Crackdown On Hollywood Hills 'Party Houses'
It's one of the worst-kept secrets of living in the Hollywood Hills. Many of those raucous parties hosted above the glittering lights in those midcentury boxes of glass and beams are not hosted by people who actually live in the upscale canyons and hillsides. Rather, homeowners and property managers rent out their homes to short-term guests who throw events flowing with booze, loud music and hundreds of attendees.

On a blazing Friday afternoon, a man in tattered clothes and a graying beard bolted upright from the sidewalk near Maple and Eighth streets and began yelling across the street. Presumably he was yelling at the group of city officials and reporters on the opposite sidewalk. Yet most of the yelling rang out as nonsensical, as if the man was enraged at something invisible. ?
