Special Notice: by Officer Karrie Carlson

     The San Diego Police Department reminds you that objects (rocks) being thrown at passing vehicles is both an unsafe and unlawful act.

     The California Vehicle Code reads as follows:
"Section 23110. Throwing substances at vehicles. a) Any person who throws any substance at a vehicle or any occupant thereof on a highway is guilty of a misdemeanor. b) Any person who with intent to do great bodily injury maliciously and willfully throws or projects any rock, brick, bottle, metal or other missile, or projects any other substance capable of doing serious bodily harm at such vehicle or occupant thereof is guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison.
