§ 2. For the purposes of this chapter, “credible threat of violence” means a statement or conduct knowingly and intentionally based on conduct that serves no legitimate purpose and that causes a reasonable person to fear for the safety of the person or for the safety of his or her immediate family. For the purposes of this Chapter, a credible threat is defined as a threat made with the obvious intention and ability to carry it out. A credible threat does not need to be expressed verbally. Basically, California law criminalizes threatening to injure or kill another person that reasonably puts the (alleged) victim in persistent fear for their safety (or that of their family). The section was previously classified as Section 14165 of Title 42, Public Health and Welfare, before being reclassified editorially and numbered as this section. “Network” means the Blue Alert communications network established by the Attorney General under section 50502 of this Title. Depending on your situation, there may be one or more possible defense or negotiation approaches. The term “law enforcement officer” has the same meaning as in section 10284 of this Title. The offence is a “wobble”, which means that she can be charged with a misdemeanour or crime.

The penalty is punishable by a fine and imprisonment for up to 1 year as misconduct. However, a conviction for FELONY includes a prison sentence of up to 3 years. The term “Blue Alert Plan” refers to the plan of a state, local government entity, or federal agency that participates in the network to disseminate information received under the name blue alert. “Coordinator” means the Department of Justice Blue Alert Coordinator designated in accordance with paragraph 50503(a) of this Title. Possible collateral consequences of a conviction for CAR JACKING: Some people may make the mistake of minimizing the situation and believing that the THREAT was not a big problem, or that the situation is just a misunderstanding. However, the law takes THREATS seriously to protect individuals (and/or their families) from having to live in fear of physical injury or death, from a potential perpetrator. The term “state” refers to each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
