Reporter its not just a problem in san jose. Investigators say thieves recently targeted mail trucks in pleasant hills, antioch, and richmond. But its not clear whether the thefts are related. Here in san jose, the Postal Service is still trying to determine just how many customers in the willow glen area were impacted by the breakins monday. What were asking is, keep an eye out. Three to four weeks, if you receive a Bank Statement or credit card statement with transactions you did not make, contact us. Reporter the postal inspector says some arrests have been made in connection with previous breakins last year. But so far, hes not revealing any details about those suspects. Reporting live in willow glen, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. Okay, thank you, marianne. He contacted women through an Online Dating website and then convererced them into sex r pretending to be a Police Officer. Hes facing multiple charges. Police say earlier this month he met a woman online and arranged a meeting at a motel in milpitas. Once there, he said he was a Police Officer and threatened her if she didnt have sex with him. Police believe there could be more victims. Legalizing marijuana means a clean slate. San francisco will dismiss thousands of marijuana misdemeanor convictions dating back to 1975. The city will also review felony convictions and possibly reduce those to misdemeanors. Nbc bay areas robert handa is at a San Francisco dispensary with the National Impact of this local decision. Robert . Reporter thats right, a lot of people here at this dispensary didnt seem to know about the issue. San francisco is following what appears to be a littleknown provision of prop 64 that allows people a Second Chance to clear their criminal records. But the District Attorney says the burden should not be on the people to clear up the conviction or the stigma. Once marijuana was legalized, it was quite a rush to buy pot for recreational use. But to clear up a marijuana conviction, a person must petition the court. Today the San FranciscoDistrict Attorney says he will dismiss virtually all misdemeanor convictions back to 1975, about 3,000 cases, and review 5,000 felony convictions. He says voters demanded it. Theyre tired of the war on drugs. They do not believe that that was the right path to follow. Now its up to us to make sure we not only implement the letter of the law, but more importantly, we implement the spirit of the law. A lot of people do not know they actually can do this. And many others could not afford to do this. Reporter many of those we talked to said since those guilty of Violent Crimes arent eligibl eligible, this is what should be done. The Drug Policy Alliance is concerned many other agencies are dragging their feet. I think a lot of agencies are also still dealing with misinformed fears and stigmas that are holding them back from moving forward. So i certainly hope that as people get more comfortable with this and they see San Francisco moving ahead with this, theyll follow in that lead and start taking more action. Reporter while San Francisco still has a jump on other agencies, gaston says it will take about a year to review and resolve all these misdemeanor marijuana and felony cases. Live in San Francisco, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Theres a local connection to that deadly Helicopter Crash in Newport Beach yesterday. Pepe tena was among the three people who died.

Reporter jessica, the suspects involved in this team, according to police, would bring some of those stolen electronics here to this Storage Facility in san jose, where they would load them in containers and ship them to vietnam. What started as an investigation into car breakins in the bay area this is a very organized crime. Reporter led Undercover Police from fremont to an international multimillion dollar crime. A fencing scheme, involving stolen electronics believed to be taken from peoples cars along the 880 corridor in fremont. So you have a whole lot of street level criminals selling them to one person. Then that person was selling them to two other people at least. And then those people were shipping the items to vietnam. Reporter detectives say they followed a tip about the stolen electronics to this Storage Facility in san jose. This is what they say they found in one of those storage containers. More than 900 stolen laptops, tablets, and phones, worth about a million bucks. Theyre storing this stuff in Public Storage containers, and the box would fill up and they would load it up and ship it to the port of oakland. Reporter tonight eight people are facing serious charges. Last week, another bust.

The new transit systems first deadly crash happened just before 8 00 this morning near hearn avenue in santa rosa. Police say a woman was standing on the tracks as the s. M. A. R. T. Train approached. The conductor blasted the horn but the woman didnt move. And there wasnt enough time to stop the train. The 64yearold woman died right there. It is the first fatality s. M. A. R. T. Has seen. Any fatality is unfortunate. We have trained and have responses and protocols in place to make it as smooth a transition as we can from the time of the incident to Getting Service back full speed. The area is a socalled quiet zone for s. M. A. R. T. Trains, meaning conductors dont even sound the horn. But in this case the engineer did. Santa rosa police said the incident is being investigated as a possible suicide. Tonight a lot of concerns and questions following last nights big fire in richmond. You can see the aftermath down below from our nbc bay area sky ranger. The smoke was so thick last night, people could see it and smell it for miles away. Was that smoke toxic . Nbc bay areas Jodi Hernandez joins us from richmond with some answers. Jodi . Reporter raj, health asxand Hazardous Materials experts say the level of particulates in the air was through the roof. They say the smoke in this fire stayed low, hugging the ground for hours. The crap metal yards have a lot of different toxic chemicals. Reporter and thats what has folks in richmond worried. Last nights scrap metal fire left much of the city covered in toxic smoke. Fire smoke out at Simms Metal Management just after 5 00 p. M. , prompting the city to issue a shelter in place warning for nearly 12 hours. It was very scary, because it was a huge black cloud. Reporter tonight were learning theres reason for concern. The countys health and Hazardous Materials team used meters to measure the particulates. They say levels were 100 times more than was considered hazardous. More tests are under way to figure out what chemicals may also have been in the air. They were breathing very fine particles of smoke, so fine, they could go right through the lungs and be picked up by the blood. I literally couldnt breathe. Reporter richmonds mayor says not even the chevron refinery fire caused so much smoke. Ive lived in richmond for 45 years, and this is the worst airrelated problem ive ever seen. It was far worse than the chevron fire of 2012. Reporter we are back here live. The folks here at simms point out that there have been no injuries reported so far. They say they apologize to the community for any inconvenience and promise a transparent review of what happened. Live in richmond, Jodi Hernandez, nbc bay area news. That may prove useful, since a lot of people in richmond are asking why the city and county didnt sound the emergency alarm, considering how toxic the smoke may have been. Health and Hazardous Materials tells us today they should you have sounded the alarm. They say refineries usually sound the alarm themselves if they release potentially dangerous fumes. In this case they opted for text alerts rather than activating the alarm. The fire in richmond wasnt the first fire at the simms facility in the bay area. Our Investigative Unit dug through the companys history with the bay area air Quality Management district. There have been three fires over the last seven years. The first happened at the old San Francisco yard back in 2010. In 2013, in redwood city. And another fire at the same plant a month later. Investigators found simms in violation of air quality regulations in both redwood city fires. The mayor of richmond is now calling on the city counsel to review the companys conditional use. A spokesperson for simms says it will continue to work with authorities and regulators to implement additional corrective measures.

Reporter raj, good evening. I talked to so many students and parents today. Its not njust that they like andres tobar. They love him and describe him as a father figure, which is why these streets were packed with protests earlier today. On i say face, this might seem farfetched. 200 parents and former students clamoring for the reinstatement of a teacher who one day earlier had turned himself into police for child endangerment. But they say hes no ordinary teacher. For those of us who didnt grow up with fathers or mothers, he taught us how to read, hes been 100 the best teacher weve ever seen at this school.

Reporter while he couldnt say if the dangling was or wasnt captured, one parent says she saw the whole thing. He only picked him up.

We have what people saw which was a child dangled over a second story balcony. Reporter people here say theyre puzzled by the sequence of events. There is an accusation going around, theres no proof, its out of his character. I think its been fabricated. We want our teacher back.

Finch says the absurdity of the bears is meant to show the absurdity of the law. We spoke to him today. He asked that we dont show his face. Im not asking the city to legalize graffiti. Im asking them to decriminalize it, so kids dont get it on their permanent record or you encourage people to be a little more loose about trying to make public art without the fear that theyll get hit with a pretty serious crime. Finch says he plans on starting a petition to stop the city from cracking down on temporary art that doesnt actually damage city property.

Representative devin nunes was aboard when the train hit a garbage track at a crossing near charlottesville, virginia. The driver of the garbage truck was killed. Senator jeff flake of arizona described a big impact during the crash and then making his way to help one of the injured. Obviously concerned about those seriously injured and the deceased, and some who were pretty bruised up. Some members of congress who were also doctors helped treat the crash victims. A nearby farmer says the crossing arms have been malfunctioning. No lawmakers were injured. Tonight theyre at a resort in West Virginia at a retreat as scheduled. President trump will travel there tomorrow to address the retreat. A remarkable public clash over a classified memo in the russia investigation. After last nights state of the union, President Trump assured a lawmaker he would release the memo 100 , that is the quote. That after the Deputy Attorney general and the fbi director went to the White House Monday urging the president to reconsider that move. Today, in a rare statement, the fbi issued, quote, grave concerns about the memos accuracy. Democrats argue the memo is misleading and accused Intelligence Committee chairman devin nunes of trying to undermine the russia inquiry. The goal is to put out a document that will set a narrative that helps the president. And that narrative is the fbi is corrupt. The dispute pits representative schiff against his fellow californians, nunes. Nunes claims the memo reveals improper tactics by the fbi and the Justice Department in the russia investigation. The fbi insists important facts are omitted. 24 hours after the president s first state of the union address, well still assessing the impact, particularly on california and the bay area. Lets bring in our political analyst larry gerston. Very president ial, straightforward, kind of like a state of the union that were used to seeing. Hes given three speeches, once when he received the republican nomination, the second speech a year ago to congress, and this one, the state of the union. And yes, this one almost sounded president ial, some would say did sound president ial. Why did that happen . He changed his approach. He went from the idea of himself to others. He said the word we 135 times in that speech. He said i 35 times. And most important, he stayed on script. So what about the actual lets talk about the script itself, the substance and the key policies that he was talking about. Were those delivered in a way that the American People can understand . Well, they might understand it but im not so sure everybody was happy about it. He begins with this grandiose theme, lets put our differences aside, come together and find common ground. I think that point, a lot of people perked up. Then he went ahead and basically talked about all the things that were important to him and the base. For example, standing to sing the national anthem, instead of kneeling as the Football Players have done. Repealing the health care mandate, which was so important to so many people, 15 to 30 Million People now may not have health care. Reinstating clean coal. Thats a debatable issue. And as far as the tax cut goes, he talked about how this was a boon for middle class americans. And then when we get down to immigration reform, he says i got an idea, 1. 8 million undocumented, well let them stay here, but youve got to give me the 25 billion for the wall, you have to end chain migration, and you also have to scrap the visa program. These are all the things that appealed to his base, leaving out 62 of americans. Generally speaking did he win the night . And what does it mean specifically for us here in california . As far as winning the night goes, almost every president gets a bump, 4, 5, 6 points. The question is how long will it be before his next tweet cancels the bump. As far as california goes, there is a series of issues here that will be of concern to california. For example, immigration. What are we going to do if we dont have enough valuable immigration labor . Coal. The idea of reconstituting coal, clean coal doesnt exist at all. It could be doing damage to californias environmental program. Finally, inasmuch as the,frastr billion plan, most of it will come from state and local governments. The tax cut will be harmful to a blue state like california where people will pay more, so it will be harder for the state to extract funds from the taxpayers. He had a vision, no question about that. He got it out there. But i think the vision was appreciated by the base. And if youre still going with the base and youre not expanding the base, problems lie ahead. Okay. Larry gerston, very well explained. Thank you very much. Thank you, larry.
