I'm voting NO on Prop 6, but not for the reasons cited by the poster.
I dislike the negatives cited by McClintock (below) more than I like the positives:
Prop. 6 Police and Law Enforcement Funding. YES

This is a tough call. My favorite provision is prohibiting the release on bail of illegal aliens charged with violent crimes. Its principal purpose is to lock up an increasing portion of the state budget for local law enforcement. Law enforcement should be government’s top priority, but I don’t like auto-pilot spending or using state resources for local programs. I also don’t like its weakening of the hearsay rule. On balance I think it does more good than harm, but it’s a very mixed bag.

I can understand your trepidation.

But Senator McClintock said, "On balance I think it does more good than harm".

I agree.
