The chp cancel and amber alert posted on freeway signs all over the state after finding out the case was a false alarm. The alert was triggered by a  reported carjacking and kidnapping outside of an oakland Safeway Store on tuesday. Witnesses reported that a shoplifting suspect with a knife had abducted a man and a teenaged girl. The police now say the three people knew each other and that the teenaged girl was really a bomb. Were looking at all three people who wily a woman. Were looking at all three people for committing crimes. What those crimes are we dont know. Now, Oakland Police are defending the decision, tori. Yes, they are defending the decision, issuing that amber alert. Police Officials Say they would have been negligent if they didnt take aggressive in case a child might have been in danger. This case raises new questions about the amber alert system which first went into use in california back in 2002. Some critics say the frequent alerts may lead to amber alert fatigue but advocates for missing children disagree saying its resulted in the rescue or safe return of more than 250 children. The question and concern should not be about fatigue. I think the concern should be about being a community member, bringing your loved one home safe. Imagine if you are a parent, you would want to bring your child home as quickly as possible. The Highway Patrol says the has the final say on when and where to trigger an amber alert. The chp can approve or deny another Law Enforcement agencys request. The compliance director hired to oversee reforms at the Oakland Police department has been fired. Thomas frazier started last march and was being paid 275,000 a year. The city of oakland agreed to the oversight to avoid having the Police Department placed on under federal control.

A rally is set to start to remember pedestrians killed in San Francisco in about an hour. This will take place at van ness and grove, the site of two recent crashes. Well bring you a live report at 8 00 with the push to make the city streets safer in the next decade. 7 39.

Dangerous chemicals in everyday products. A new bbs designed to us safe may be a new database designed to keep us safe may be falling short. Its been one month since the launch of potentially hazardous products in Beauty Products and shampoo and other things we use. The act requires companies that manufacture cosmetics to report any products that contain indeed dwruents known to cause cancer, birth defects or other harm. Now, they collect this data and makes it available to the public through the website. You can search for an ingredient, brand or product. The San Jose Mercury news is reporting, much of the information may be incomplete or outdated due to a lack of cooperation from the industry. A loophole allows companies to withhold information if the ingredients can be considered a trade secret. They are finding loopholes to not divulge information, we should be asking why are they doing that . More than 1400 products in the database have ingredients that are not disclosed because of that loophole. In our next hour of mornings on 2, the other big obstacle thats preventing that database from being complete. Reporting live in the newsroom, pam cook, ktvu channel 2 news. 7 48.

The chp has canceled an amber alert posted on freeway signs statewide after finding out the case was a false alarm. The alert was triggered initially by a reported carjacking and kidnapping outside a Safeway Store in oakland on tuesday. Witnesses reported the shoplifting suspect with a knife abducted a man and a teenaged girl. But police have now determined the three people all knew each other and the teenaged girl was actually a woman. Were looking at all three people who may be responsible for committing some crimes. What those crimes are, we dont know. Oakland police are defending their decision to call for an amber alert. The Department Says it would have been negligent if it did not take aggressive action in case a child had been in real danger. This case is raising new questions about the amber alert system which first went into use in california back in 2002. Some critics say the frequent alerts may lead to amber alert fatigue. But advocates for missing children disagree saying its resulted in the rescue or safe return of more than 250 chirp. The question and concern should not be about fatigue. I think the concern should be about being a community member, bringing your loved one home safe. If you were a parent, you would want to bring your child home as quickly as possible. The chp can approve or deny another Law Enforcement agencys request. 8 36. The compliance director hire wood i the city of oakland to oversee Police Department forms has been fired.
