Watch Out Speed Scofflaws! LAPD Resumes Enforcement On 80 More Streets Citywide
Traffic officers are back on the job catching speedsters on a slew of additional streets citywide, Los Angeles officials announced Wednesday. For years, drivers could avoid being cited on nearly 47 percent of the city's streets because the police department had stopped regularly enforcing the posted speed limits on them. That's because the state was requiring that if officers wanted to use radar and laser devices to monitor driving speeds, surveys needed be done to determine the average driving speed on those streets.

Gun Laws: Here's How California And The Federal Government Differ
The Florida school massacre has renewed calls for tightening federal gun laws to more closely resemble those in states like California, among the nation's strictest. Here are the major differences between California and federal laws: California law requires background checks for all gun purchases, and requires sales at gun shows, and by other non-commercial vendors, to be referred to a licensed dealer, who can charge a processing fee. The buyer must present proof of identity and age, such as a driver's license.
