Pam, i talked with former bart chief gary gee and former fbi special agent rick smith. Together they have around 60 years of experience. Bart mob attack last saturday in oakland. Safeway mob burglary grab last month in San Francisco. Carnival mob attack last month in oakland. Former fbi special agent rick smith says we are seeing a change. Rick smithsot i dont think its a good sign of the times i think a lot of this stuff happens because i think there is no consequence. It needs to be a multifaceted approach to a real problem and that is an increase in low level crime. If it is allowed to happen more serious things are going to happen. In the bart mob attack on saturday 6 out of the 9 train cars had working cameras. There were also multiple working cameras at the coliseum station. Bart says state law doesnt allow them to release the video because the suspects appear to be juveniles. Former bart police chief gary gee says the fact that they arent or are unable to release video or pictures is certainly out of the ordinary. Gary geesot i know you dont release photos of minors of who you have identified and are in custody but if you have a crime in progressand you see this all the time where gangs of juveniles will attack a store in the mall and gang up on innocent customers and all thatthose videos become public and no faces are hidden there so i was surprised that bart would be hesitant to release those videos because minors might be involved. Gee says the bart mob attack is the first of its kind on a Public Transit system on the west coast. Smith, who is now a private investigator after his fbi days, believes there is a sense of lawlessness out there and believes these crimes will continue to happen until prop 47 is thrown out and low level crime offenders are punished. As for the criminals involved in the mob attacks. Rick smithsot punks, they are just punks. I mean look what type of courage does it take to be one of 60 kids to rob somebody of their phone . That takes courage . I dont think so. Former chief gee says while more officers would help its just not feasible to have one officer in every train car. Smith doesnt believe the number of officers is the problem. He says these theives know that even if they are caught theyll only get a slap on the wrist. Live in San Francisco, j. R. Stone kron 4 news. pam kron 4 asked barts leadership team. About last weekends attack. steve among the issues a Transit Police force thats not even close to fully staffed. And concerns about where officers that are working. Are positioned. Grant lodes is here with that part of the story. grant for instance there were two bart officers on the coliseum station grounds. But they were far away from the crimes. Off patrolling the parking lot. So strategically positioning officers in prominent places. To deter criminals and also comfort riders. Is something at least one bart board member is talking about tonight. Because if you take bart. You want to feel like there is a Police Presence. Joel keller bartthe thing thats disappointment to me is we dont have enough officers to be on the trains , be in the stations and be in the parking lots. Rebecca saltzman bart board president they can be off in a corner of a parking lot and you never see them even though they are there the same time as you so i think we need to better communicate with riders that they are there. grant bart says there are currently 38 vacancies on the force, which is about 20percent of the department.

In light of the recent incident involving bart passengers being attacked by a mob teenagers at the coliseum station. I had 40 kids board my train and beat up someone. I decided to take a look to see how visable bart officers are at few stations. The first bart Police Officer i saw today was here in the parking lot of petes coffee in jack london square. From there i moved onto the lake merritt station, which also houses bart police headquarters. I saw a bart patrol car parked on the street. Inside the station there was no sign of any Police Officers at the faregate or on the platform the next bart officer i saw was here in the parking lot of the coliseum stationhere in orinda there was no sign of bart officers in the parking lot, faregate or on the platformno officers at the gates or on the platforms here in concord or North Concord martinez stations. A bart spokesperson told me that officers are not stationary outside of their 46stations. That explains why passengers dont see them at the fare gates but should officers be stationed at the gates . Some bart passengers i spoke to said yesgood idea to have officers at the gate huh . Shawn penniall bart passenger yeah i think it would be a good idea, um, people going in out and out of there without paying their farein fact while i was recording video for this story a fareevader walked right through this emegency gate.

And the white zone is loading and unloading of passengers only steve but have you ever seen a white yellow green zone. Its for certain type of vehicle but even the people its set up for wont use it. If you build it they will come. Thats a not so old phrase and its not necessarily true nats ambiance case in point. North berkeley where a viewer email asked me to take a look at a problem notice all the taxis drivers waiting patiently for their next fare at first glance it appears to be a taxi stand. Except notice its a white zonenats ambiance you see about 80 feet away is this yellow, white, green, curb. This is the actual taxi zone and according to the bart taxi rules, this is where taxis are required to park. However, they have overtaken the passenger loading zone which is for immediate loading and unloading of private vehicles. Including uber and lyfton any given day you will see cabs lined up and maybe even see cabbies playing cards we park like that for many years i know this is legally not a taxi zone but we parked here for many, many years according to almost all the cabbies, they have been parking in the passenger loading. Aka the while zone for the last 15 years despite having an actual taxi zone so now here is the rub if a nontaxi were to park in the taxi zone they could be subject to a parking fine. Something the cabbies denythere are exceptions cabs designed for picking up disabled passengers can use the white zone but only one at a time. According to the emailer, if a private driver were to park in the makeshift taxi zone they are often verbally abused. However, after talking to some cabbies they also deny that happens too but they admit then need a better place for cabbies to set up we said give us there maybe 4 or 5 taxis like people come in the rain over there they can get in now they come all the walk over here or they can walk al the way back there there are other rules related to taxi drivers. Cabs cannot be left unattended for more than 5 minutes this cab has been parked unattended for 20 minutes to be honest im not even sure its a bonified cab. It has a tcp number but not much more in the grand scheme of things it could be an easy fix by simply making the make shift taxi stand a permanate taxi zone then remove the almost abandoned taxi stand but in the bay area.
