Crimes: metal knuckles: punishment.

Abstract

Existing law provides, with exceptions, that any person in the state who manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possess any metal knuckles is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or in the state prison for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years. This bill would instead make this crime a felony, punishable in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years. By changing the punishment of a crime, and increasing the duties of local prosecutors this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
