Gov. Jerry Brown Can't Stop Giving Orders That Expand State Power and Interventions in People's Affairs
Economic Policy Journal
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation today imposing the nation's first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags.
On Sunday, his office announced that the governor signed the wacko “affirmative consent” standard for sexual assault (SEE: NUTSO California Adopts 'Yes Means Yes' Sex-Assault Rule).
Brown also, on Sunday, vetoed a bill that would have required police to obtain warrants for surveillance by drone. In vetoing the bill, Brown ignored the advice of a group of 41 law professors from around the country who sent a letter to Brown urging him to sign the bill. "Misuse of drones may chill First Amendment activity and lead to high-tech racial profiling," the letter said.
