The Los Angeles County Superior Court has revealed that 147,000 cases of felony convictions were not successfully reported to the California Department of Justice.
The public notice of the backlog of errors was posted on February 24, 2026. Because they were not reported to the DOJ, they were not included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database. It is possible some convicted felons were able to obtain firearms through licensed dealers because of this oversight. From lacourt.org:
Of the approximately 464,000 impacted cases, the Court has identified approximately 380,000 instances with convictions where the case’s ADR was not successfully reported to the DOJ. Of those, roughly 147,000 involved cases with felony convictions, and roughly 233,000 were cases with misdemeanor convictions. Approximately 84,000 cases were dismissals in which ADRs were not successfully reported to the DOJ. Of those, roughly 61,000 involved felony dismissals, and roughly 23,000 involved misdemeanor dismissals.
The convictions are being transmitted to the DOJ at the present time. Most of the records occurred from the 1980’s to 2006. Some of the records are as late as 2023.
About 18% of the records are for cases that were dismissed. These could affect criminal history checks. Such checks often include arrests. Without the record of a dismissal of charges, it would become more difficult for an individual to show he was not convicted of a crime.
There is no indication or reporting that the California Department of Justice will be doing checks to see if any firearms were transferred to people with felony convictions.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court handles cases for about 9.8 million people. These cases are mostly from over 20 years ago. The average number of felony convictions in the United States over that period was about 500 per 100,000 adults per year.

But, but, but...that destroys the ‘crime reduction’ narrative. /s
Becoming more like Somalia every day.
Why would anyone want to reduce crime?
Crime is a good thing.
As long it is performed by people of a certain melanin content.
Having been a long time data analyst, I can tell you data can be manipulated to say whatever you want it u.
Omitting data from a data set is certainly one way to make it look like crime is going down......not very subtle though. Of course liberals rarely are. Lol!
These politicians and their handlers WANT such criminals terrorizing the public.
At what point do California citizens deduce that Sacramento has an organized crime syndicate operating within our capital at state level, with branches within the county and city level and the judiciary ?
This plus the fiscal fraud, election malfeasance leads to no other conclusion i can see.
More midterm advertisements right here !!!!
The left loves criminals
The left loves crisis
The left loves death
“Without the record of a dismissal of charges, it would become more difficult for an individual to show he was not convicted of a crime.”
Just a quick story but I was a Navy/Navy Reserve recruiter for 16 years. One thing I hated to hear an applicant say was that he was arrested and given youthful offender status. In their minds it meant they were clear. It did not. In recruiting world I had an arrest record (rarely expunged) but no adjudication. Without adjudication, the person could not enlist. Sometimes I could work it out, sometimes not.
If you’re a liberal the answer is, “It was an oversight. Oopsie.” And life goes on... unless you’re a victim of, you know, VIOLENT CRIMES!
> Omitting data from a data set is certainly one way to make it look like crime is going down.<
Watch. Putting it back in will make crime increase. Trump’s fault.
