Most California Penal Code 647(a) “Lewd Conduct in Public” arrests involve undercover sting operations. Decoy police officers pose as gay men in bathrooms, parks and other public locations. These undercover cops will try to “bait” you into exposing yourself, masturbating, or proposing some sexual act. Then they arrest you. It’s pure entrapment. Our California criminal defense lawyers have successfully defended hundreds of PC 647(a) Lewd Conduct entrapment cases. Almost every one of them has gotten dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge. We handle these cases throughout the state, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Orange County, Fullerton, Glendale, Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area. Much of the time, the alleged acts do not amount to “lewd or dissolute conduct” as the law defines it. In fact, quite often the arrested person does nothing but make eye contact and “cruise” the decoy officer…but the police lie, embellish and exaggerate the facts to make it look like something more than that happened. It’s wrong. But it happens all the time. You can fight back…

www.shouselaw.com 888-327-4652 What do California judges consider at a bail hearing? A defense lawyer explains the 4 key factors. Being arrested for a crime and thrust into the California criminal justice system can be frightening and overwhelming. But rest assured, we’re here to help. As former cops and prosecutors (now dedicated to defending and protecting your rights), we not only understand how bail hearings work, but also how to use it to your advantage. Asking the court to reduce or eliminate your bail is just one example. This is a useful tool that is often overlooked by less experienced criminal defense attorneys. “Bail” is money that the court requires you to pay in order to assure your court appearances. You post bail by either paying the full amount in cash or, more commonly, through a bail bond. You can secure a bail bond through a bail bondsman (or bail agent). Bail bondsmen agree to post your bail in exchange for a maximum 10% of the full bail amount. This 10% is a nonrefundable fee. If you have additional questions about California’s bail laws, bail hearings, or OR release procedures, or you would like to discuss your case confidentially with one of our attorneys, do not hesitate to contact us at Shouse Law Group. We have local criminal law offices in and around Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Jose, Oakland, the San Francisco Bay area, and several nearby cities.
