Privacy Protection Program
Over 1,800 members of CASE serve The People of California as Deputy Attorney Generals, Deputy State Public Defenders, and Administrative Law Judges. Unfortunately, recent and increasingly frequent incidents of violence have been directed towards prosecutors, public defenders, and judges at their homes. Leading researchers link the availability of personal information about potential targets as a significant factor to consider in calculating threat assessment.
California Government Code section 6254.21 prohibits any person, business, or association from publicly posting the home address or telephone number of any Public Safety, Elected, or Appointed Official as defined by that section. Deputy Attorney Generals and Deputy State Public Defenders are defined as “Public Safety Officials” by Government Code sections 6254.21, subdivision (e)(13), and 6254.24. Similarly, Administrative Law Judges are defined as “Elected or Appointed Officials” by Government Code section 6254.21, subdivision (e)(14). Accordingly, all eligible CASE Members are entitled to this important legislation.
As a service to its members, CASE is pleased to offer our Privacy Protection Program. Any Member entitled to the protection of Government Code section 6254.21 may fill out a personal information opt-out form which is available by clicking on the button below. Once this form has been filled out and received by the CASE office, it will be copied and sent to each of the major directory websites and sources that contain residential addresses and telephone numbers, along with a letter demanding that the member’s home address and telephone number be removed from all databases under their control. For those directory websites and sources that only permit opt-out requests to be made online, such requests will be made by CASE on behalf of the member.
CASE encourages all eligible Members to take advantage of the Privacy Protection Program. Please feel free to contact the CASE office with any questions or concerns about this program.
