Its a big wire trap with a door that trips by the animal when it goes inside. We bait it and hope flip the cat will go in it and get stuck. Dna tests will be conducted to figure out if the right Mountain Lion was captured. If its determined, the Mountain Lion will be put down. The little boy suffered scratches and puncture wounds but is recovering. Later on today, city officials will decide if they will set up a system where residents who have security cameras can share the footage with the police. Its a proposal aimed at reducing crime. Janine de la vega joining us live from san jose where some people are concerned about that plan. Good morning, janine. Reporter good morning, dave. Some people are wondering about cost. Others have privacy concerns. Well, under this proposal the way that it would work is if anybody, lets say, for example, on this street in willow glen happened to register their cameras on a website, then police would be able to contact them if a crime occurred in the area to see if anything helpful was caught on video. The impetus for the idea came after several downtown neighborhoods were the target of a serial arsonist. The suspect was caught on cameras torching homes and businesses over a span of five days, causing millions of dollars in damage. The footage proved to be crucial to the Police Investigation and helped lead to the capture of the suspect. Many local residents have been sharing footage they captured of thieves breaking into homes or causing vandalism on social media and to make their neighbors aware and to help police. But the creation of a voluntary registry of private security cameras would be new for san jose. Some residents have questions. Some people might be okay with it, but what if some other people are caught what if a neighbor is not for it and one is . I mean, how do you protect peoples privacy . I thats my concern. Reporter those interested would also put in their address and when a crime happens, officers would be able to locate cameras in the area and call the owner. The cities of fremont and los gatos have similar registries to deter crime. Sam liccardo running for mayor proposed this idea and will be holding a conference later to discuss the idea further. The city council is set to vote on this when that meeting starts at 1 30 this afternoon. Reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you, janine. A now retired Walnut Creek Police officer will be sentenced next month after pleading no contest to charges that he attacked a woman with a baseball bat. 53yearold Gregory Thompson is accused of beating a woman with a baseball bat outside his fathers vacant home in richmond because he thought she was breaking in.

The website says casino representatives would have turned it over. It shows rice pushing his then fiancee in the face, knocking her on her feet and onto a railing. Originally rice was suspended for two games which many saw as lenient. Bay area football fans say the video speaks volumes.

Now, a lot of those commuters are heading to San Francisco and the citys chief financial analyst says San Francisco has one of the nations feast of thegrowing job markets. All of that traffic heading into San Francisco is also a sign the local economy is improving. Lets see how good the economy is looking right now and i heard actually as we go to sal, Noelle Walker did a report and said she called it the manhattannization of the bay area, where like in new york city, everyone heads to manhattan.

When things start on the upswing, you do see more traffic and you see more people on transit. This is a look at the bay bridge. Its backed up all the way out on the maze. About a 25minute delay into San Francisco. Really San Francisco has always been a job center in the bay area. Thats nothing new. If you are driving into the city from this point, it should take you about 25 minutes.

Would you share your private surveillance foot an with police. The San Jose City council will decide whether to set up a registry of private security cameras to help catch criminals. Ktvus janine de la vega joins us live from san jose where shes joined by a city councilman supporting the idea. Good morning. Reporter good morning, tori. Well several people we have spoken to have brought up privacy concerns asking how how much access you are giving police if you are sharing Surveillance Video footage with them from a neighborhood. Well, sam liccardo, who is running for mayor, proposed the idea of a voluntary registry after seeing how it aided police in solving crime. Earlier this year, several downtown neighborhoods were the target of a serial arsonist. That suspect was caught on those surveillance cameras torching homes and businesses over a span of five days, causing millions of dollars in damage. The footage proved to be crucial to the Police Investigation and helped read to the capture of the suspect. This afternoon, the city council will decide whether to officially set up a voluntary registry so that police can contact residents and businesses with cameras in an area where a crime happened. Now, right now, im joined by city councilman sam liccardo, again, who proposed this idea. One of the questions, you know, that people had, if police have access, would they be able to access somebodys security cameras at any time . Would they be able to look at live footage . How would that work . Well, no, the police wouldnt have any more access to be able to view footage than they do today. The rule is the police need to ask for permission from a Property Owner to be able to look at videotape or a court order. That would continue on the rule. What this initially enables police to do is to know where the cameras are and to know who to ask so they can quickly get videotape when a burglary or robbery has happened nearby. Reporter what do you say to people who do have concerns about privacy . For example, if one person allows, you know, access to their camera footage, however their neighbor is next door and they are not okay with it . I think its important for us to recognize that all of the same laws and constitutional protections apply. The only footage that can be utilized by police is that footage thats lawfully obtained by court order or by permission of the owner. If theres videotape of somebody in a public space or in front of the Property Owners home, certainly thats fair for anyone to be able to view in the Police Department. Reporter thank you so much, councilman liccardo. The city council will take up the issue and vote on it at the City Council Meeting scheduled for 1 30 this afternoon t reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news.
