““As we said in People v. Zimbrolt, (1939) 35 Cal.App.2d Supp. 745, 747 [ 91 P.2d 252 ], ‘ Crimes are not to be “built up by courts with the aid of inference, implication, and strained interpretation” (Ex parte McNulty, [1888] 77 Cal. 164, 168 [ 19 P. 237 , 11 Am.St.Rep. 257 ]), and “penal statutes must be construed to reach no further than their words; no person can be made subject to them by implication.” (Ex parte Twing, [1922] 188 Cal. 261 . 265 [ 204 P. 1082 ].) ’ ””
