Searching Tips

When searching Forecite California, there are shortcuts you can take to find the information you are looking for:

1. By Code Section:

Forecite uses standard abbreviations for different types of codes. Those abbreviations can be found below:

Codes:
CCR California Code of Regulations
Corp C Corporations Code
EC Evidence Code
FG Fish and Game Code
GC Government Code
HN Harbors & Navigation Code
HS Health & Safety Code
PC Penal Code
RT Revenue & Tax Code
VC Vehicle Code
WI Welfare & Institutions Code

Using these codes to search is very simple. For example, if you wanted to search for Penal Code section 20, you would type PC 20 into the search box.

2. By CALJIC Number:

Since Forecite is indexed to CALJIC, searching for CALJIC numbers is easy. For example, to search for CALJIC 3.16, you would type 3.16 into the search box.

3. By Case Name or Citation:

To find a case or citation, simply enter all or part of the case’s citation. Since many cases are known only by one name involved, it is often helpful to not search for the entire citation. For example, if you were searching for references to People v. Geiger (84) 35 C3d 510, 526 [199 CR 45], you could search for People v. Geiger or just Geiger. Searching for Geiger might be more helpful since it would find references to the case that do not include the full citation.

Adapt from FORECITE F 967.


F 968 NOTES

F 968 Note 1 Shooting From Motor Vehicle—CALCRIM Cross-References And Research Notes

See FORECITE F 965 Notes.


F 968 Note 2 Discharge Of Firearm From Motor Vehicle (PC 12034): Whether “Permit” Is Unconstitutionally Vague

People v. Laster (1997) 52 CA4th 1450, 1467, held that the term “permit” as used in PC 12034 is not unconstitutionally vague because the defendant cannot be held criminally liable for failing to prevent the discharge unless the defendant had the knowledge, power and ability necessary to prevent it.

CALJIC NOTE: See FORECITE F 9.04 n3.


F 968 Note 3 Discharge Of Firearm From A Vehicle (PC 12034): Intent Required

People v. Laster (1997) 52 CA4th 1450, 1468-69, held that PC 12034 requires only a general criminal intent because the “permitting” of a discharge does not imply an intention that the firearm be discharged but only failing to prevent it when the defendant had the power and ability to do so.

CALJIC NOTE: See FORECITE F 9.04 n2.


F 968 Note 4 Assault With Firearm (PC 245(a)(2)) Is Not LIO Of Discharging Firearm From A Vehicle (PC 12034(c))

See People v. Licas (2007) 41 C4th 362 [disapproving In re Edward G. (2004) 124 CA4th 962].
