The California legislature is so pro-criminal that it quietly waters down crime bills even when they have widespread support.

Case in point: California’s Democrat-dominated legislature was advancing a bill that would, among other things, require ignition interlock devices to be installed in the vehicles of anyone convicted of driving under the influence. These devices are breathalyzers that prevent you from starting your car if you do not blow below a particular level. The bill would bring California in line with the 31 other states (and Washington, D.C.). Currently, California is one of just six states with the weakest laws regarding ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders.
