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.

Return to CALJIC Part 9-12 – Contents

F 12.55 n1  Destructive/Explosive Devices:  Knowledge Requirement. 

In its Jan. 1994 pocket part, CALJIC has provided instructions for use in destructive device prosecutions under PC 12303, PC 12303.1(a)(b)(c), PC 12303.2, PC 12303.3, PC 12303.6, PC 12308, PC 12309, PC 12310 and PC 12312.

CJ 12.55 includes the requirement that the defendant have knowledge of the presence and nature of the destructive device.  However, this requirement is omitted from the other new instructions (CJ 12.55.1 – CJ 12.55.8).  (In CJ 12.55.4, the knowledge of the device’s nature is included, but knowledge of its presence is not.)  Hence, the knowledge elements should be added to these other instructions where appropriate.


F 12.55 n2  Possession Of Destructive/Explosive Devices: Momentary Possession.

The same principles which apply to momentary possession of weapons or drugs could logically apply, under the appropriate circumstances, to the possession of destructive/explosive devices.  (See FORECITE F 12.06a and F 12.43a.)


F 12.55 n3  THIS ENTRY HAS BEEN DELETED.


F 12.55 n4  Possession Of Assault Weapons (PC 12280). 

Kasler v. Lockyer (2000) 23 C4th 472 [97 CR2d 334] held that the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 (PC 12275 et seq.) does not violate due process.
