This week, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra charged two pro-life activists from the Center for Medical Progress who recorded secret video of Planned Parenthood representatives discussing selling baby parts from abortion. The two are charged with 15 felonies for violating privacy laws (a questionable decision in and of itself, as I
noted on Twitter.)
Becerra replaced Kamala Harris as CA's attorney general when Harris was elected to the US Senate in 2016. Harris began the investigation of the CMP's secret videos, including arranging an FBI raid of one of the defendant's homes.
Harris, however, has not always taken a dim view of undercover video. In a
2014, Harris used undercover surveillance video to nab a... smog test scofflaw (s
coughlaw?).
So undercover video to reveal abortion industry misconduct and fraud: bad! Smog test fraud? Good! Thanks, California.
