the injury or death of such injured person.
   Any person violating any provision of this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor.  Nothing in this section shall prohibit a person, other
than a public employee acting within the scope of his or her
employment, from soliciting the injured person's attorney for the
sale or use of such photographs.
646.9.  (a) Any person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly
follows or willfully and maliciously harasses another person and who
makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in
reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her
immediate family is guilty of the crime of stalking, punishable by

under subdivision (a), commits a violation of this section shall be
punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or five
years.
   (d) In addition to the penalties provided in this section, the
sentencing court may order a person convicted of a felony under this
section to register as a sex offender pursuant to subparagraph (E) of
paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 290.
   (e) For the purposes of this section, "harasses" means engages in
a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person
that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person,
and that serves no legitimate purpose.
   (f) For the purposes of this section, "course of conduct" means
two or more acts occurring over a period of time, however short,

verbal or written threat, including that performed through the use of

of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically
communicated statements and conduct, made with the intent to place
the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear for
his or her safety or the safety of his or her family, and made with
the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the
person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or
her safety or the safety of his or her family.  It is not necessary
to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually carry out the
threat.  The present incarceration of a person making the threat
shall not be a bar to prosecution under this section.
Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the
meaning of "credible threat."
   (h) For purposes of this section, the term "electronic
communication device" includes, but is not limited to, telephones,
cellular phones, computers, video recorders, fax machines, or pagers.

Code.
   (i) This section shall not apply to conduct that occurs during
labor picketing.
   (j) If probation is granted, or the execution or imposition of a
sentence is suspended, for any person convicted under this section,
it shall be a condition of probation that the person participate in
counseling, as designated by the court.  However, the court, upon a
showing of good cause, may find that the counseling requirement shall
not be imposed.
   (k) The sentencing court also shall consider issuing an order
restraining the defendant from any contact with the victim, that may
be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court.  It is the
intent of the Legislature that the length of any restraining order be
based upon the seriousness of the facts before the court, the
probability of future violations, and the safety of the victim and
his or her immediate family.
   (l) For purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any
spouse, parent, child, any person related by consanguinity or
affinity within the second degree, or any other person who regularly
resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months,

Corrections make a certification as provided in Section 2684.  Upon
the certification, the defendant shall be evaluated and transferred
to the appropriate hospital for treatment pursuant to Section 2684.

646.91A.  (a) The court shall order that any party enjoined pursuant
to Section 646.91 be prohibited from taking any action to obtain the
address or location of a protected party or a protected party's
family members, caretakers, or guardian, unless there is good cause
not to make that order.
   (b) The Judicial Council shall promulgate forms necessary to

county jail of any person who is convicted of violating Section 646.9
or convicted of a felony offense involving domestic violence, as
defined in Section 6211 of the Family Code, or any change in the
parole status or relevant change in the parole location of the

keep the Department of Corrections or county sheriff informed of his
or her current mailing address and telephone number to be entitled to
receive notice.  A victim may designate another person for the
purpose of receiving notification.  The Department of Corrections,

shall make reasonable attempts to locate a person who has requested
notification but whose address and telephone number are incorrect or
not current.  However, the duty to keep the Department of Corrections
or county sheriff informed of a current mailing address and
telephone number shall remain with the victim.
    Following notification by the department pursuant to Section
3058.61, in the event the victim had not originally requested
notification under this section, the  sheriff or the chief of police,
as appropriate, shall make an attempt to  advise the victim or, if
the victim is a minor, the parent or guardian of the victim, of the
victim's right to notification under this section.

offense involving domestic violence, as defined in Section 6211 of
the Family Code, to the notice recipients described in subdivision
(a).
   (e) Substantial compliance satisfies the notification requirements
of subdivision (a).
646.93.  (a) (1) In those counties where the arrestee is initially
incarcerated in a jail operated by the county sheriff, the sheriff
shall designate a telephone number that shall be available to the
public to inquire about bail status or to determine if the person
arrested has been released and if not yet released, the scheduled
release date, if known.  This subdivision does not require a county
sheriff or jail administrator to establish a new telephone number but
shall require that the information contained on the victim resource
card, as defined in Section 264.2, specify the phone number that a
victim should call to obtain this information.  This subdivision
shall not require the county sheriff or municipal police departments
to produce new victim resource cards containing a designated phone
number for the public to inquire about the bail or custody status of
a person who has been arrested until their existing supply of victim
resource cards has been exhausted.
   (2) In those counties where the arrestee is initially incarcerated
in an incarceration facility other than a jail operated by the
county sheriff and in those counties that do not operate a Victim
Notification (VNE) system, a telephone number shall be available to
the public to inquire about bail status or to determine if the person
arrested has been released and if not yet released, the scheduled
release date, if known.  This subdivision does not require a
municipal police agency or jail administrator to establish a new
telephone number but shall require that the information contained on
the victim resource card, as defined in Section 264.2, specify the
phone number that a victim should call to obtain this information.
This subdivision shall not require the county sheriff or municipal
police departments to produce new victim resource cards containing a
designated phone number for the public to inquire about the bail or
custody status of a person who has been arrested until their existing
supply of victim resource cards has been exhausted.
   (3) If an arrestee is transferred to another incarceration
facility and is no longer in the custody of the initial arresting
agency, the transfer date and new incarceration location shall be
made available through the telephone number designated by the
arresting agency.
   (4) The resource card provided to victims pursuant to Section
264.2 shall list the designated telephone numbers to which this
section refers.
   (b) Any request to lower bail shall be heard in open court in
accordance with Section 1270.1.  In addition, the prosecutor shall
make all reasonable efforts to notify the victim or victims of the
bail hearing.  The victims may be present at the hearing and shall be
permitted to address the court on the issue of bail.
   (c) Unless good cause is shown not to impose the following
conditions, the judge shall impose as additional conditions of
release on bail that:
   (1) The defendant shall not initiate contact in person, by

number if employed, and a residence telephone number if the defendant'
s residence has a telephone.
   A showing by declaration that any of these conditions are violated
shall, unless good cause is shown, result in the issuance of a
no-bail warrant.
646.94.  (a) Contingent upon a Budget Act appropriation, the
Department of Corrections shall ensure that any parolee convicted of
violating Section 646.9 on or after January 1, 2002, who is deemed to
pose a high risk of committing a repeat stalking offense be placed
on an intensive and specialized parole supervision program for a
period not to exceed the period of parole.
   (b) (1) The program shall include referral to specialized
services, for example substance abuse treatment, for offenders
needing those specialized services.
   (2) Parolees participating in this program shall be required to
participate in relapse prevention classes as a condition of parole.
   (3) Parole agents may conduct group counseling sessions as part of
the program.
   (4) The department may include other appropriate offenders in the
treatment program if doing so facilitates the effectiveness of the
treatment program.
   (c) The program shall be established with the assistance and
supervision of the staff of the department primarily by obtaining the
services of mental health providers specializing in the treatment of
stalking patients.  Each parolee placed into this program shall be
required to participate in clinical counseling programs aimed at
reducing the likelihood that the parolee will commit or attempt to
commit acts of violence or stalk their victim.
   (d) The department may require persons subject to this section to
pay some or all of the costs associated with this treatment, subject
to the person's ability to pay.  "Ability to pay" means the overall
capability of the person to reimburse the costs, or a portion of the
costs, of providing mental health treatment, and shall include, but
shall not be limited to, consideration of all of the following
factors:
   (1) Present financial position.
   (2) Reasonably discernible future financial position.

treatment of stalking patients.
   (3) Have two letters of reference from professionals who can
attest to the applicant's experience in counseling stalking patients.
   (f) The program shall target parolees convicted of violating
Section 646.9 who meet the following conditions:
   (1) The offender has been subject to a clinical assessment.
   (2) A review of the offender's criminal history indicates that the
offender poses a high risk of committing further acts of stalking or
acts of violence against his or her victim or other persons upon his
or her release on parole.
   (3) The parolee, based on his or her clinical assessment, may be
amenable to treatment.
   (g) On or before January 1, 2006, the Department of Corrections
shall evaluate the intensive and specialized parole supervision
program and make a report to the Legislature regarding the results of
the program, including, but not limited to, the recidivism rate for
repeat stalking related offenses committed by persons placed into the
program and a cost-benefit analysis of the program.
   (h) This section shall become operative upon the appropriation of
sufficient funds in the Budget Act to implement this section.
647.  Every person who commits any of the following acts is guilty
of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor:

dissolute conduct in any public place or in any place open to the
public or exposed to public view.
   (b) Who solicits or who agrees to engage in or who engages in any
act of prostitution.  A person agrees to engage in an act of
prostitution when, with specific intent to so engage, he or she
manifests an acceptance of an offer or solicitation to so engage,
regardless of whether the offer or solicitation was made by a person
who also possessed the specific intent to engage in prostitution.  No
agreement to engage in an act of prostitution shall constitute a
violation of this subdivision unless some act, in addition to the
agreement, is done within this state in furtherance of the commission
of an act of prostitution by the person agreeing to engage in that
act.  As used in this subdivision, "prostitution" includes any lewd
act between persons for money or other consideration.
   (c) Who accosts other persons in any public place or in any place
open to the public for the purpose of begging or soliciting alms.
   (d) Who loiters in or about any toilet open to the public for the
purpose of engaging in or soliciting any lewd or lascivious or any
unlawful act.
   (e) Who loiters or wanders upon the streets or from place to place
without apparent reason or business and who refuses to identify
himself or herself and to account for his or her presence when
requested by any peace officer so to do, if the surrounding
circumstances would indicate to a reasonable person that the public
safety demands this identification.
   (f) Who is found in any public place under the influence of
intoxicating liquor, any drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any
combination of any intoxicating liquor, drug, controlled substance,
or toluene, in a condition that he or she is unable to exercise care
for his or her own safety or the safety of others, or by reason of
his or her being under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any
drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any combination of any
intoxicating liquor, drug, or toluene, interferes with or obstructs
or prevents the free use of any street, sidewalk, or other public
way.
   (g) When a person has violated subdivision (f), a peace officer,
if he or she is reasonably able to do so, shall place the person, or
cause him or her to be placed, in civil protective custody.  The
person shall be taken to a facility, designated pursuant to Section
5170 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, for the 72-hour treatment
and evaluation of inebriates.  A peace officer may place a person in
civil protective custody with that kind and degree of force which
would be lawful were he or she effecting an arrest for a misdemeanor
without a warrant.  No person who has been placed in civil protective
custody shall thereafter be subject to any criminal prosecution or
juvenile court proceeding based on the facts giving rise to this
placement.  This subdivision shall not apply to the following
persons:
   (1) Any person who is under the influence of any drug, or under
the combined influence of intoxicating liquor and any drug.
   (2) Any person who a peace officer has probable cause to believe
has committed any felony, or who has committed any misdemeanor in
addition to subdivision (f).
   (3) Any person who a peace officer in good faith believes will
attempt escape or will be unreasonably difficult for medical
personnel to control.
   (h) Who loiters, prowls, or wanders upon the private property of
another, at any time, without visible or lawful business with the
owner or occupant.  As used in this subdivision, "loiter" means to
delay or linger without a lawful purpose for being on the property
and for the purpose of committing a crime as opportunity may be
discovered.
   (i) Who, while loitering, prowling, or wandering upon the private
property of another, at any time, peeks in the door or window of any
inhabited building or structure, without visible or lawful business
with the owner or occupant.
   (j) Who lodges in any building, structure, vehicle, or place,
whether public or private, without the permission of the owner or
person entitled to the possession or in control of it.
   (k) (1) Any person who looks through a hole or opening, into, or
otherwise views, by means of any instrumentality, including, but not
limited to, a periscope, telescope, binoculars, camera, motion
picture camera, or camcorder, the interior of a bedroom, bathroom,
changing room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the
interior of any other area in which the occupant has a reasonable
expectation of privacy, with the intent to invade the privacy of a
person or persons inside.  This subdivision shall not apply to those
areas of a private business used to count currency or other
negotiable instruments.
   (2) Any person who uses a concealed camcorder, motion picture
camera, or photographic camera of any type, to secretly videotape,

identifiable person under or through the clothing being worn by that
other person, for the purpose of viewing the body of, or the
undergarments worn by, that other person, without the consent or
knowledge of that other person, with the intent to arouse, appeal to,
or gratify the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person and
invade the privacy of that other person, under circumstances in which
the other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
   (3) (A) Any person who uses a concealed camcorder, motion picture
camera, or photographic camera of any type, to secretly videotape,
film, photograph, or record by electronic means, another,
identifiable person who may be in a state of full or partial undress,
for the purpose of viewing the body of, or the undergarments worn
by, that other person, without the consent or knowledge of that other
person, in the interior of a bedroom, bathroom, changing room,
fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the interior of any
other area in which that other person has a reasonable expectation
of privacy, with the intent to invade the privacy of that other
person.
   (B) Neither of the following is a defense to the crime specified
in this paragraph:
   (i) The defendant was a cohabitant, landlord, tenant, cotenant,
employer, employee, or business partner or associate of the victim,
or an agent of any of these.
   (ii) The victim was not in a state of full or partial undress.
   (l) In any accusatory pleading charging a violation of subdivision
(b), if the defendant has been once previously convicted of a
violation of that subdivision, the previous conviction shall be
charged in the accusatory pleading.  If the previous conviction is
found to be true by the jury, upon a jury trial, or by the court,
upon a court trial, or is admitted by the defendant, the defendant
shall be imprisoned in a county jail for a period of not less than 45
days and shall not be eligible for release upon completion of
sentence, on probation, on parole, on work furlough or work release,
or on any other basis until he or she has served a period of not less
than 45 days in a county jail.  In all cases in which probation is
granted, the court shall require as a condition thereof that the
person be confined in a county jail for at least 45 days.  In no
event does the court have the power to absolve a person who violates
this subdivision from the obligation of spending at least 45 days in
confinement in a county jail.
   In any accusatory pleading charging a violation of subdivision
(b), if the defendant has been previously convicted two or more times
of a violation of that subdivision, each of these previous
convictions shall be charged in the accusatory pleading.  If two or
more of these previous convictions are found to be true by the jury,
upon a jury trial, or by the court, upon a court trial, or are
admitted by the defendant, the defendant shall be imprisoned in a
county jail for a period of not less than 90 days and shall not be
eligible for release upon completion of sentence, on probation, on
parole, on work furlough or work release, or on any other basis until
he or she has served a period of not less than 90 days in a county
jail.  In all cases in which probation is granted, the court shall
require as a condition thereof that the person be confined in a
county jail for at least 90 days.  In no event does the court have
the power to absolve a person who violates this subdivision from the
obligation of spending at least 90 days in confinement in a county
jail.
   In addition to any punishment prescribed by this section, a court
may suspend, for not more than 30 days, the privilege of the person
to operate a motor vehicle pursuant to Section 13201.5 of the Vehicle
Code for any violation of subdivision (b) that was committed within
1,000 feet of a private residence and with the use of a vehicle.  In
lieu of the suspension, the court may order a person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle restricted, for not more than six months, to
necessary travel to and from the person's place of employment or
education.  If driving a motor vehicle is necessary to perform the
duties of the person's employment, the court may also allow the
person to drive in that person's scope of employment.
647.1.  In addition to any fine assessed under Section 647, the
judge may assess a fine not to exceed seventy dollars ($70) against
any person who violates subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 647, or, if
the offense involves intravenous use of a controlled substance,
subdivision (f) of Section 647, with the proceeds of this fine to be
used in accordance with Section 1463.23.
   The court shall, however, take into consideration the defendant's
ability to pay and no defendant shall be denied probation because of
his or her inability to pay the fine permitted under this section.
647.2.  If a person is convicted of a violation of subdivision (f)
of Section 647 and is granted probation, the court may order, with
the consent of the defendant, as a term and condition of probation,
in addition to any other term and condition required or authorized by
law, that the defendant participate in the program prescribed in
Section 23509 of the Vehicle Code.
647.6.  (a) Every person who annoys or molests any child under the
age of 18 shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one
year, or by both the fine and imprisonment.
   (b) Every person who violates this section after having entered,
without consent, an inhabited dwelling house, or trailer coach as
defined in Section 635 of the Vehicle Code, or the inhabited portion
of any other building, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state
prison, or in a county jail not exceeding one year.
   (c) (1) Every person who violates this section shall be punished
upon the second and each subsequent conviction by imprisonment in the
state prison.
   (2) Every person who violates this section after a previous felony
