206: Cameras as Weapons
Santa Barbara Social Host Ordinance, Underage Drinking Laws
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors passed a "social host ordinance" that allows police to enter private residences without provocation if five or more people are gathered. The law is aimed at curbing underage drinking in the college town of Isla Vista but is criticized for violating constitutional rights to privacy. Violators face fines, community service, and potential jail time.
