California Penal Code 1377 PC states that a CC is not allowed or available in certain misdemeanor cases. These include cases where the misdemeanor is committed as follows: by or against a police officer (while in the performance of his official duties); riotously; with an intent to commit a felony; in violation of a court order; against an elder; or,
against a child. Moreover, in February 2019 the California Appellate Court ruled that a charge of misdemeanor hit and run per Vehicle Code 20002 VC could not be civilly compromised. See California vs Dimacali (Super. Ct. CA 274429).
