In 2008, [Assemblyman Pedro Nava] introduced Concurrent Resolution 106, which would force all social networking sites to stand by their terms of use and curb violent or inappropriate content. his new legislation would have brought criminal proceedings against all witnesses of the Richmond gang rape and even the Oscar grant murder witnesses who uploaded their footage to Youtube rather than turned it over to the cops.
So, in the Oscar Grant case, the witnesses should have turned their cellphones over to the murderer and his cohorts.
