RAMROD 117,011 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Following a spate of high-profile 911 calls against people of color, San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton on Tuesday introduced an ordinance that would make discriminatory calls for police illegal. Walton dubbed the ordinance the Caren Act (Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies), in an apparent nod to the popularized slang name that refers to an entitled white woman complaining about people of color. The legislation would amend the San Francisco Police Code to make it unlawful for someone to “fabricate false racially biased emergency reports,” according to a news release from Walton. “This is the CAREN we need,” Walton tweeted. The law aims to “protect the rights of communities of color who are often targeted and victims of fraudulent emergency calls,” Walton said in a statement. “The CAREN Act will make it unlawful for an individual to contact law enforcement solely to discriminate on the basis of a person’s race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity.” Walton’s ordinance follows similar proposed state legislation. State Assembly Member Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, introduced a bill, AB 1550, in June to end discriminatory police calls by classifying them as hate crimes. False police reports are criminal under California law, but there is no punishment for people who summon law enforcement due to a perceived threat based on someone’s race, religion or appearance, Bonta said in a statement.
