Several new laws will affect California motorists in 2011 including a Blue Alert for law enforcement, ability of motorists to install a window-mounted event-recording video camera, and a 10-year license revocation for three or more DUIs.
The state's Emergency Alert System, much like the Amber Alert, would be activated as a Blue Alert if an officer is killed, injured or assaulted; a suspect poses an immediate danger to the public or law enforcement; a detailed description of a suspect's vehicle or license plate is available for broadcast; or further information would help accelerate apprehension.
