Despite California Courts recognizing the concept of coercive control, there was no actual statutory prohibition against this form of domestic abuse. That changed in September 2020 when the Governor of California signed a bill into law clarifying the state’s Domestic Violence Prevention Act that coercive control constitutes a form of domestic abuse.
Specifically, the law amends Section 6320 of the Family Code so that “disturbing the peace of the other party” (which is grounds to obtain a DV Restraining order) includes coercive control. The California legislature unequivocally recognized that actions that result in the destruction of “mental or emotional calm” of a victim is a form of domestic abuse, even when there is no act of physical violence.

Too squishy.
Ah, Yes. Another California Law open to Judicial interpretation to slam the poor married man at the behest of a vindictive spouse.
Get out of California.
Thought crimes will be prosecuted.
Yep. Now if you give your kid a time out you can be arrested.
This of course opens the door to putting the entire California Govt to arrest.
Goodness, will there be mass arrests of women now?
“mental or emotional calm”
Basically, anything.
Now an accusation of hurting someone’s feelings, counts as a crime.
That’s how I read it.
Am I off?
A loophole as big as Alaska!
Does this apply to California’s government and Governor Newsom, or just the citizens? /s
LOL
Good luck with that.
Hardly anyone can grasp that your average housewife can be
very abusive.
New California Law Recognizes Coercive Control as Form of Domestic Violence:
Does this law recognize the coercive control of Fidel Che Gruesome’s covid 19 rules over the people of California?
See?! SEE?! Dis it wut Trump did to us for 4 years! Waaahhhhh!
If you have a partner who you think is overbearing and controlling - you LEAVE!
How do you even begin to quantify something like this to determine if someone is lying?!
Laws are for the little people.
Got it.
Don’t get Married.
Don’t Cohabitate.
Budget some Money to leave on the Dresser for the Hooker on your way out of the Hotel Room.
Yep. Drop crumbs on the floor right after she swept!?! Tell her that her dress is a little tight? Tell her you have to be at work, when her mom comes over? Keep playing the video game after she tells you dinner is ready?
It will be ugly!
Applied equally and fairly this law would incarcerate most of the mainstream media, leftists and other govt officials who have been feeding us total BS for 5 years.
So Newsom is guilty of “coercive control” by imposing the lockdowns. Since this is ongoing, prosecuting him for this would not be ex post facto.
You mean like the government does to its citizens?
