There was huge outrage on this forum when this became known several months ago. The matter has not been discussed here for some reason since, guess everyone got bored with it, but I share your infamy.
There is a bill going through the legislature to seal those records. I have no idea what the status is. When it is passed the CA, will continue to post this database of EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE STATE and most likely be grandfathered to do so. Regardless, they will fight it in court.
If everything goes as it should this may be the last time they update.
I could go on at great length about how this pisses me off, but the editor of the CA and Scripps-Howard have no concept of reality and are only in the business of creating news, not reporting it. Unfortunately, that means exposing law-abiding citizens for exercising rights granted by the state and categorizing us under a "Public Safety" topic complete with related articles of screw-up HCP holders.
