One that even amazed veterans of the department. Hundreds of rankandfile staff and retirees all lined up to say goodbye to former police chief Ann Kirkpatrick, who was abruptly fired last week. Rob roth was there, in front of the union office tonight. Reporter Ann Kirkpatrick fought back tears as she said goodbye to officers and took a parting shot at those who fired her. It was a Police Lineup like no one can remember seeing before. Hundreds of officers, about half the department by some estimates, lined the front of the Police Officers union hall to say goodbye and give a hug to an emotional Ann Kirkpatrick, now former police chief. I will always be here for you guys. Reporter kirkpatrick was fired last thursday, without cause, by unanimous Oakland Police commission, with the approval of mayor libby schaaf. Kirkpatrick had this dire message for them. By my termination you have destabilized the stability of this Police Department and destabilizes the Community Safety when you do that. A clear indication the elected officials in this town, members of the Police Commission in may are clearly do not have the temperature of the Police Department. Reporter in an interview monday, kirkpatrick said her termination may have been retaliation for not agreeing to pay the towing fee of one of the commissioners. She also supported the officers involved in the shooting death of a homeless man and opposed their firing and harsh words for federal monitor Robert Warshaw who oversees the department under a federal court order. He would not comment, tuesday. I am so sad to be leaving and i didnt want to go. Reporter an enormous number of rankandfile didnt want her to go either. You could fill a palpable sense in the lineup firm when we sent out especially because it was so abrupt and sudden.

Reporter officers say kirkpatrick brought a sense of calm to a department that was in turmoil, following a sex scandal three years ago.

Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. The driver of a tesla, who died when his car crash in Mountain View, was playing a videogame at the time of the crash. That was just one of the findings announced today by the ntsb. Live in Mountain View tonight where the findings reveal, along with new safety recommendations. Reporter ntsb revealed the driver of the tesla was an avid gamer who was playing a videogame on his iphone. They say that was one of several contributing factors and they also leveled Harsh Criticism for tesla and multiple agencies. The ntsb announced, tuesday, limitations of teslas autopilot system and a distracted driver playing a videogame on his phone caused a deadly 2018 crash on highway 101 in mount you. Adding, the 38 yearold apple engineer, killed in the crash, relying too heavily on the Autopilot Technology of the tesla model acts. The driver did not take corrective action when the autopilot lane keeping assist system steered the vehicle into the gore area, nor did he take evasive action to avoid the collision with the crash attenuator most likely due to destruction by a cell phone game application. Reporter the federal Safety Agency called out tesla saying the Palo Alto BasedCompany Needs to do more to address all of pilot concerns beyond the alert notifications already changed. Those are good things. As we have talked about before, fixing problems after people die is not really good highway approach. Reporter the ntsb also criticized the National TrafficHighway Safety administration for not having enough oversight of the emerging technology. Time to stop enabling drivers in any partially Automated Vehicle to pretend that they have driverless cars. Reporter the tesla was driving at 70 miles an hour with the autopilot feature on when it slammed into abarrier. The ntsb called out caltrans and chp for not making timely notifications and repairs for a safety barrier, attenuator, that was damaged weeks earlier before the crash. If the crash attenuator had been working form, this driver likely would have survived. Reporter caltrans has changed how it tracks maintenance for damaged infrastructure. The ntsb made nine safety recommendations including an evaluation of teslas autopilot feature. The also Tech Companies to disable destructions on mobile devices while driving, saying the current opt in method is enough. We reached out to tesla but did not get a reply. In the past, tesla has said autopilot is intended as driver assistant and a driver should be ready to intervene at all times. The ntsb is working on a separate report about electric vehicle batteries, which will include the crash that happened here in Mountain View, due out this summer following todays announcement, tesla stock suffered a loss on the nasdaq, down about 4 , dropping 33. 88 from 799. 91.

The deal also comes with the company have oversight that will prevent the drugs from falling into the wrong hands. The cdc says opioid overdose is killed more than 700,000 people between 1999 d 2017. Ktvu received a lot of responses to the story you may have seen last night, about a loophole that may lead some california voters cast two ballots. Issue has gone largely unaddressed for nearly four years now. Several counties have seen dozens, even hundreds of cases of double voting. With politics of polarized right now, a concerned some may try to compromise even local election. Our Investigative Reporter back tonight with an update. We should point out this is not a partisan issue, this is a matter of election security. A small number of double votes probably wont affect a president ial candidate, it could affect your city council, local officials or smaller races. It starts with a mailin voting system. New vote by mail ballots are automatically sent out if someone changes their name, address or Party Preference. While safeguards are in place to prevent duplicate mailin ballots from being counted, the a voter can send back one ballot and surrender the other at a polling place on election day and vote again. Election workers wont know if the mailin ballot has been counted. One couple from Pleasant Hills change their Party Preference and between the two of them they got seven ballots in the mail. While they only plan to submit one each, and made them wonder how is this happening. I was getting pretty angry when i got the second incorrect ballot with the fear because i am going on a trip this weekend i wouldnt be able to vote. My frustration was am i going to lose my opportunity to vote . The secretary of state assures us only one vote will be counted and wants mail in system to remain open and convenient. With automation it has raised concern and debate regarding voter integrity. One suggestion to make voters who surrender a mailin ballot on election day vote provisionally giving officials time to check if you have already voted once. The secretary of state rejected the idea saying that denies voter rights. For now, counties have to look for double votes themselves which can be very difficult and timeconsuming. Again we are talking about a very small amount but of the small amount, were the people who voted twice, did they do it intentionally . Or did they do it accidentally . Sometimes its not done maliciously, but those people who are going out and trying to get their vote counted twice are later prosecuted if caught if Election Officials are looking for them and they can say that usually takes several years. By that point the vote is already counted, results are tabulated and at local elections or smaller elections it could sway the vote uncertainty for business or a chance to make better deals. Seems to depend on who you ask. Next, what some Business Owners are looking forward to now that the u. K. Has left the european union. Brexit is finally happened after years of delays, bringing this uncertainty for some americans to do business with the u. K. But others are saying opportunity. British american Business Owners are welcoming brexit as a chance to build better trade relationships hoping the special relationship will expand companies as the u. S. Negotiates a new trade deal with britain. Potentially bringing down the cost of imports from across the pond. We get households of this every month. If that makes that a little easier, i think it expands out the variety of things. Yes thats a great thing. Reporter the Trump Administration says that they need to have a new trade deal with the u. K. In place by the end of the year. The race to fill the open seat of Southern California rep represented Duncan Hunter his turned into would gop slugfest. Held one of the few remaining house seats in california before he pleaded guilty to a corruption charge and resigned last month.

The feds say anderson lake, by far, Santa Claritas largest reservoir, has to be completely drained by october 1st. The reason is pretty much everything on the other side of the face of the dam.

On lake used for summer fun during years when theres plenty of rain. Now, the south bays largest reservoir may have to be drained of water in about seven months. The reason, anderson dan needs seismic repairs, meaning it could be closed for years. The worry, a large earthquake could cause the dam to collapse, flooding entire cities downstream. We talked with one of the valley water districts top executives to answer critical customer questions and concerns. Reporter dee anderson dm, santa clara countys largest reservoir, holds more water than all of valley water districts other nine dams combined. Making it, by far, a critical water supply for 2 million south bay customers. Nonetheless, the federal Dam Safety Division is demanding the dam be completely emptied by october 1st to prevent collapse should an earthquake of 7. 2 magnitude or stronger, because the likely failure and devastation to downstream communities. The problem with this, and many dams is once they are built, if there is land in front of them, people tend to Start Building communities and other things. Here, even though the problems have been known for years, construction still continues. For customers, the key question is, will we have enough water or face severe restrictions. Groundwater base right now is the healthiest its been in many years. We are ready to respond and provide that water to the community. Reporter the district has a massive Storage Facility in kern county from which can supply its customers. More than we have used in one year. The water is available to bring into the county for use for residents coming this year. Reporter because the district customers have greatly reduced water use as a matter of habit, the district insists it has more than enough water to meet normal usage while retrofitting the massive dam is ongoing. Is anticipated construction particular from 2 5 years. It is determined upon the permitting process, environmental regulations making sure it is in a safe manner and in compliance with the laws and regulations. Reporter the dam would be partially deconstructed and innards replaced with far stronger materials, then recovered with earth to complete the process. That is something that could be done more quickly and economically than replacing earth with with steel and concrete. We have many water supply sources, both imported water groundwater and recycled water used in the county. Reporter a critical question the district will solve for environmental agencies, is how can coyote creek and critical wildlife and fish habitat be maintained while it is made sources cut off for reconstruction. Despite lack of rain and snow for much of february, the largest reservoirs are still doing great. Four of the five largest in Northern California have more water than they have had on this date historically. Trinity lake is at 112 normal, lake shasta sits at 108 of normal, don pedro 115 and new malone us 133 . Like orval the only one that isnt at its historic average, but at 92 of average. Another sign the early spring conditions are here around the bay area, our meteorologist took this picture today of a rattlesnake in the hills above calcampus. Generally if you dont a rattlesnake like that until maybe april. Does the take away. So dry and warm, this is the Northern Pacific rattlesnake. Goodsized. Couple feet. But i see them a lot because amount a lot but does just the window they typically come out. Everything early. Feels like spring santa rosa. They dont like when its cold because they are cold blooded they dont move so fast when it gets warm its a warning if you are out hiking around. Or was this . Up on the hill behind her one of the trails on the track pet just sort of an interesting, i noticed birds making nests today feels like its about a month early on that too. All this pointing to a very dry period here as we have gone to february. Record high today as a folk. Record 70 for today 76 more high temperatures 81 santa rosa today 76 napa numbers are significant for this time of year. Its february and we are doing 81 degrees. The record set at sfo today, more warm temperatures tomorrow. With that in mind just know its going to be dry the next three days. Saturday night and sunday clouds want to show up. When clouds show up theres going to be a slight chance for a sprinkle on sunday but doesnt appear much of anything if anything at all. As we get into march go looking at longrange models you will be out there. There are indications first week and a half in march we should see a more productive what weather pattern really what we need as you know. Enough preaching just enjoy it while it lasts. 70s again tomorrow. Not quite as warm as today but pretty darn close. The warm pattern brought to you by this massive dome of High Pressure, right through thursday. Weakens a little on the weekend, that is when the system wants to slide in as we get into late saturday into sunday. Forecast highs tomorrow maybe a degree or two cooler. Dont think its quite as robust as the north northeast winds we had today. The forecast for fremont, 75. Even along the beaches 66 and a half today. Really in a warm weather pattern. With that sitting in the pacific rattlesnake as an indicator, this idea that it feels like spring to the animals, insects come to us. We are forgetting its february and it is supposed to be full of raindrops and winter storm warnings and such but not the case. Has we get to the weekend we did put a slight chance of a shower on sunday. A nonevent overall. Five day forecast is pretty impressive. Cools off significantly on sunday. I believe the weather pattern starts to break and turn more in favor of a what weather pattern for early march. Fingers crossed on that. Calfire has 12 new helicopters that can fight fires at night. The agency says the f 70 i firefox have stateoftheart avionics. Also more space for crewmembers and can carry three times the amount of water. Calfire says being able to fight fires at night will be a game changer helping crews on the ground. What it boils down to is safety.
