The new law will essentially\u003ca href=\"http://chrisconrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Prop64chart.pdf\"> eliminate criminal penalties for adult personal use of marijuana\u003c/a>, and those changes would start immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The penalty reduction components take effect at midnight on November [9],” says Lyman. “Anybody who’s currently in jail or prison or on parole or probation for a marijuana-related offense will be able to petition to have their sentence reduced … and so that process might take a few months,” says Lyman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re carrying more than the allowed amounts of marijuana you can still be fined. And those who are operating commercially without a license can be fined. Repeat offenders could get jail time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will still be a felony to sell to minors, as well as to attempt the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/26/when-weed-explodes-and-why-you-shouldnt-try-this-at-home/\">dangerous process of home butane extraction\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The black market won’t go away overnight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>New regulations will likely make marijuana more expensive and pot will still be illegal for many of California’s neighbors. The result: The black market will likely continue to thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that the biggest way in which the whole situation is out of touch with reality is pretending that states can do what they want without affecting other states,” says Jon Caulkins a professor of public policy at Carnegie Mellon University and author of “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California supplies much of the cannabis for the rest of the country. And as its production costs have been declining and presumably will decline further after legalization, that reduces prices and increases use all around the country. It’s important to recognize just how compact marijuana is. A year’s supply for a typical daily user weighs about as much as one 20-ounce can of beer. It’s very hard to keep this stuff from flowing across borders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, don’t count on Prop. 64 to do much to eliminate the black market, though it could make it much less attractive to risk arrest for cheaper weed, at least to Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>… Neither will drug-related crime\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don’t expect crime to drop either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the nation has legalized [pot], as long as you don’t have super high taxes or other restrictions, then … legal companies will out-compete criminals. Farmers are better at farming cannabis than crooks are,” says Caulkins. “But no, that won’t really do much about drug-related crime because most drug-related crime is associated with cocaine, crack, heroin and meth, not marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, nothing you do with marijuana is going to really solve most of the drug-related crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11076615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11076615\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/135350-full-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Coalinga Police Chief Michael Salvador has been a police officer for 30 years.

The new law will essentially\u003ca href=\"http://chrisconrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Prop64chart.pdf\"> eliminate criminal penalties for adult personal use of marijuana\u003c/a>, and those changes would start immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The penalty reduction components take effect at midnight on November [9],” says Lyman. “Anybody who’s currently in jail or prison or on parole or probation for a marijuana-related offense will be able to petition to have their sentence reduced … and so that process might take a few months,” says Lyman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re carrying more than the allowed amounts of marijuana you can still be fined. And those who are operating commercially without a license can be fined. Repeat offenders could get jail time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will still be a felony to sell to minors, as well as to attempt the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/26/when-weed-explodes-and-why-you-shouldnt-try-this-at-home/\">dangerous process of home butane extraction\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The black market won’t go away overnight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>New regulations will likely make marijuana more expensive and pot will still be illegal for many of California’s neighbors. The result: The black market will likely continue to thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that the biggest way in which the whole situation is out of touch with reality is pretending that states can do what they want without affecting other states,” says Jon Caulkins a professor of public policy at Carnegie Mellon University and author of “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California supplies much of the cannabis for the rest of the country. And as its production costs have been declining and presumably will decline further after legalization, that reduces prices and increases use all around the country. It’s important to recognize just how compact marijuana is. A year’s supply for a typical daily user weighs about as much as one 20-ounce can of beer. It’s very hard to keep this stuff from flowing across borders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, don’t count on Prop. 64 to do much to eliminate the black market, though it could make it much less attractive to risk arrest for cheaper weed, at least to Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>… Neither will drug-related crime\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don’t expect crime to drop either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the nation has legalized [pot], as long as you don’t have super high taxes or other restrictions, then … legal companies will out-compete criminals. Farmers are better at farming cannabis than crooks are,” says Caulkins. “But no, that won’t really do much about drug-related crime because most drug-related crime is associated with cocaine, crack, heroin and meth, not marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, nothing you do with marijuana is going to really solve most of the drug-related crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11076615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11076615\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/135350-full-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Coalinga Police Chief Michael Salvador has been a police officer for 30 years.

It’s a 360 degree view of what used to be pine, manzanita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“See that little road down there?” Wilensky asks, pointing into the canyon. “That's Hawver Road and there were at least forty to fifty houses along that road that all burned,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Wilensky witnessed firefighters battling the blaze in this area. He says he showed them how to access the canyons. He said they led a heroic effort and kept the fire from engulfing three nearby towns, including Mountain Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras resident Bill Schmiett's wasn’t one of the lucky ones. His Mountain Ranch home was destroyed. Earlier in his life, Schmiett worked as a firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“I’ve seen fire up close before. But it’s a whole different ball game when everything you had is a big pile, a smoking pile of ash and twisted metal roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett is a realtor. In December, right on the heels of the Butte fire, his phone starting ringing like crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County,” explains Schmiett. “I’m not sure how the county got the national exposure it did. There was quite a bit of activity in bare land for growers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett recalls that most callers were candid about their intentions to grow cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnt-out homes still had wells, septic systems and ways to connect to power. Schmiett says that's what growers were looking for. Schmiett says parcels worth $75,000 were going for $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Out of town growers were grabbing land before the county or state could regulate marijuana cultivation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159451\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Real Estate Agent Bill Schmiett's home was completely destroyed by the 2015 Butte Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159451\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Real Estate Agent Bill Schmiett's home was completely destroyed by the 2015 Butte Fire. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">While the Butte fire raged through the Sierra, the California Legislature approved a bill that would pave the way for medical marijuana regulations. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process.

He says the CCA advocates for “the identification and removal of illicit marijuana grows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says his organization has spent considerable time and money educating local leaders and residents about the profile of local marijuana growers represented by CCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He sees a stark contrast between long-time growers who want to grow marijuana under the county’s legal framework and those who rushed in after the Butte fire. Tomaszewski likens the latter to prospectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“You know, people hear from a couple of buddies at the grow shop that a particular county is a good place to grow. And they go and buy two pieces of land and move out the next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski argues that’s a change from how earlier marijuana growers established themselves in Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before the Butte fire, he says would-be growers from outside Calaveras were vetted by locals. He says the profile of growers in Calaveras is different from other northern California counties where marijuana is cultivated. We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

It’s a 360 degree view of what used to be pine, manzanita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“See that little road down there?” Wilensky asks, pointing into the canyon. “That's Hawver Road and there were at least forty to fifty houses along that road that all burned,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Wilensky witnessed firefighters battling the blaze in this area. He says he showed them how to access the canyons. He said they led a heroic effort and kept the fire from engulfing three nearby towns, including Mountain Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras resident Bill Schmiett's wasn’t one of the lucky ones. His Mountain Ranch home was destroyed. Earlier in his life, Schmiett worked as a firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“I’ve seen fire up close before. But it’s a whole different ball game when everything you had is a big pile, a smoking pile of ash and twisted metal roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett is a realtor. In December, right on the heels of the Butte fire, his phone starting ringing like crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County,” explains Schmiett. “I’m not sure how the county got the national exposure it did. There was quite a bit of activity in bare land for growers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett recalls that most callers were candid about their intentions to grow cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnt-out homes still had wells, septic systems and ways to connect to power.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process. One that would bring in funding to support code enforcement and the Sheriff’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Let’s regulate it. Let’s fund the resources we need to keep it under control,” explains Maurer. “Eliminate the bad players, support the good players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">To date, the county’s taken in roughly $3.7 million in registration fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer explains, “The first prong of enforcement is to go after those who didn’t register at all. “Those that are just not going to bother to register.

We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Al Perrodin, 81, faces a single misdemeanor for soliciting a prostitute in Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charge is based on allegations by Jasmine Abuslin, the teenager at the center of a widespread police exploitation scandal. Prosecutors also reviewed text and Facebook messages between Abuslin and Perrodin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark Peterson said last week that Perrodin admitted to paying Abuslin for sex at a hotel in Richmond in February, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former homicide captain \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/216570749-story\" target=\"_blank\">told KTVU\u003c/a> Wednesday he did not admit to any wrongdoing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, 11 a.m. Friday Nov. 4\u003c/strong> A retired octogenarian Oakland police captain is the only officer who will face prosecution in Contra Costa County for allegations related to a law enforcement \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/police-sexual-exploitation/\" target=\"_blank\">sexual exploitation case\u003c/a> affecting several Bay Area agencies, District Attorney Mark Peterson announced Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the \u003ca href=\"#summary\">charging decision\u003c/a> was based in part on more than 24 hours of recorded interviews that six law enforcement agencies conducted with the Richmond teen at the center of the case, Jasmine Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence that we were given -- the information that was given to us by Ms. Abuslin herself -- does not warrant charges other than the one retired Oakland captain,\" who will be charged with engaging in prostitution, Peterson said at a press conference in Martinez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abuslin, who is now 19 years old, has said she had sex with some 30 law enforcement officers in the past few years, some while she was underage. She has said all the officers and deputies knew she worked in the sex trade, and some tipped her off to undercover prostitution operations or shared confidential law enforcement information with her. There are also indications that Abuslin -- whose pseudonym is Celeste Guap -- has been a victim of child sexual exploitation and trafficking in and around the East Bay since the age of 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s reprehensible, it’s immoral, it’s inappropriate, shouldn’t be done, it’s shocking,\" Peterson said of what he characterized as consensual sex between Abuslin and law enforcement officers from around the Bay Area. \"But is it a crime?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors' broad review of the case focused on potential crimes involving more than a dozen officers from San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland, as well as a former deputy with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. Officers who knowingly had sex with Abuslin before she turned 18 could be charged with crimes, including rape. The former deputy, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/30/ex-contra-costa-deputy-arraigned-in-sex-exploitation-case-released-with-no-bail/\" target=\"_blank\">Ricardo Perez\u003c/a>, and Oakland police Officer \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/two-more-oakland-police-officers-arraigned-on-sex-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Giovanni LoVerde\u003c/a> are both facing charges of felony oral copulation with a minor in neighboring Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Contra Costa County prosecutors were unable to determine whether any sexual encounters between officers and Abuslin in their county occurred before she turned 18. And even if they could, Peterson said, it's an \"absolute defense\" if the officers reasonably believed she was an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were no crimes involving former Deputy Perez with Ms. Abuslin except for the possible crime of her engaging in sex with him when she was under 18,\" Peterson said. \"But as I've indicated, we can't prove that charge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County prosecutors also looked at charging officers for engaging in prostitution, and they are charging a yet-to-be-named former Oakland police captain with that misdemeanor for allegedly paying Abuslin for sex. But as for any other officers, the evidence did not indicate that there was an exchange of cash or anything else of value for sex, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has also made statements that she’s a sex addict,\" Peterson said, \"which is an indication perhaps that she wasn’t doing this for money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Deputy District Attorney Paul Graves, who supervises the Contra Costa DA's sexual assault unit, said there was no indication that officers explicitly traded protection for sex with Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m sure that is part of her motivation,\" he said. \"If you think about it, this community failed her for a long time. A lot of people failed her. So yeah, the security of having police officers and having somebody looking out for you, absolutely, but whether that was communicated as a quid pro quo: No.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's investigation found no chargeable crimes against two San Francisco police officers brought to the office's attention by SFPD's investigation. Abuslin has said she had sex with three SFPD officers, all after she turned 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the actions of the officers did not result in criminal charges, they will now undergo an administrative investigation by the SFPD Internal Affairs Division,\" a written statement released by SFPD says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's announcement marks the end of the Contra Costa district attorney's second investigation into the case. Oakland police investigators presented the office in May with a potential charge of attempted forcible sodomy against former OPD Officer Terryl Smith that allegedly occurred in Richmond. The office declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’re talking about specifically in that case was consensual acts that took place immediately preceding this alleged attempted forcible sex act, and consensual acts that occurred immediately after this alleged attempted forcible sex act,\" Graves said. \"I'm not at liberty to disclose to you the actual facts.

She has said all the officers and deputies knew she worked in the sex trade, and some tipped her off to undercover prostitution operations or shared confidential law enforcement information with her. There are also indications that Abuslin -- whose pseudonym is Celeste Guap -- has been a victim of child sexual exploitation and trafficking in and around the East Bay since the age of 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s reprehensible, it’s immoral, it’s inappropriate, shouldn’t be done, it’s shocking,\" Peterson said of what he characterized as consensual sex between Abuslin and law enforcement officers from around the Bay Area. \"But is it a crime?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors' broad review of the case focused on potential crimes involving more than a dozen officers from San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland, as well as a former deputy with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. Officers who knowingly had sex with Abuslin before she turned 18 could be charged with crimes, including rape. The former deputy, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/30/ex-contra-costa-deputy-arraigned-in-sex-exploitation-case-released-with-no-bail/\" target=\"_blank\">Ricardo Perez\u003c/a>, and Oakland police Officer \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/two-more-oakland-police-officers-arraigned-on-sex-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Giovanni LoVerde\u003c/a> are both facing charges of felony oral copulation with a minor in neighboring Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Contra Costa County prosecutors were unable to determine whether any sexual encounters between officers and Abuslin in their county occurred before she turned 18. And even if they could, Peterson said, it's an \"absolute defense\" if the officers reasonably believed she was an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were no crimes involving former Deputy Perez with Ms. Abuslin except for the possible crime of her engaging in sex with him when she was under 18,\" Peterson said. \"But as I've indicated, we can't prove that charge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County prosecutors also looked at charging officers for engaging in prostitution, and they are charging a yet-to-be-named former Oakland police captain with that misdemeanor for allegedly paying Abuslin for sex. But as for any other officers, the evidence did not indicate that there was an exchange of cash or anything else of value for sex, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has also made statements that she’s a sex addict,\" Peterson said, \"which is an indication perhaps that she wasn’t doing this for money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Deputy District Attorney Paul Graves, who supervises the Contra Costa DA's sexual assault unit, said there was no indication that officers explicitly traded protection for sex with Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m sure that is part of her motivation,\" he said. \"If you think about it, this community failed her for a long time. A lot of people failed her. So yeah, the security of having police officers and having somebody looking out for you, absolutely, but whether that was communicated as a quid pro quo: No.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's investigation found no chargeable crimes against two San Francisco police officers brought to the office's attention by SFPD's investigation. Abuslin has said she had sex with three SFPD officers, all after she turned 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the actions of the officers did not result in criminal charges, they will now undergo an administrative investigation by the SFPD Internal Affairs Division,\" a written statement released by SFPD says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's announcement marks the end of the Contra Costa district attorney's second investigation into the case. Oakland police investigators presented the office in May with a potential charge of attempted forcible sodomy against former OPD Officer Terryl Smith that allegedly occurred in Richmond. The office declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’re talking about specifically in that case was consensual acts that took place immediately preceding this alleged attempted forcible sex act, and consensual acts that occurred immediately after this alleged attempted forcible sex act,\" Graves said. \"I'm not at liberty to disclose to you the actual facts. Out of respect for the victim, we're not going to do that. If you heard what I heard, you would understand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's decision indicates a different approach to the case than that of neighboring Alameda County, where six current and former law enforcement officers are facing a range of criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/09/alameda-county-da-charges-7-cops-with-sexually-exploiting-teenager/\" target=\"_blank\">announced those charges\u003c/a> Sept. 9, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley criticized other agencies' facilitation of Abuslin's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/14/teen-victim-in-cop-sex-case-freed-from-florida-jail-returning-to-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">travel to a rehabilitation clinic in Florida\u003c/a>, which removed a witness in the case from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson said Friday that his office, along with the Richmond Police Department and state Victim Compensation Board, facilitated Abuslin's short-lived stint across the country.
