District Attorney Todd Spitzer said weapons and illegal drugs have also been seized since the task force was formed three years ago.AB 109, the California Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011, allows for current non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offenders to be supervised at the local county level.
Since 2019, he said the task force has arrested more than 567 so-called"AB 109ers" on new crimes including 10 for attempted murder. One of them is a three-striker, so he's looking at 25 to life, and a lot of them are looking at over 100 years. Most of them will die in prison."
