The defense’s motion and judge’s order for the subpoena were discovered in a routine check on the case by KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Up to that time the defense had not released his name, despite numerous media requests, until the press discovered it on their own,” Gonzalez’s declaration says. “I understand that the reporter who broke the story learned of the subpoena, four days after it was filed, by reviewing the case file.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3899015-People-s-Notice-of-Motion-and-Motion-for-a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prosecution’s motion\u003c/a>, followed by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3899013-170720-Reply-to-People-s-Motion-for-a-Protective.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">defense’s response\u003c/a>, below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3899015-People-s-Notice-of-Motion-and-Motion-for-a\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3899013-170720-Reply-to-People-s-Motion-for-a-Protective\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the U.S. and in Mexico, Otay Mesa is crowded with warehouses, providing numerous spaces to hide tunnel entry and exit points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvQx_s2vMd8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the U.S. Border Patrol, in the past three decades, 29 of the 62 sophisticated tunnels that have been found along the U.S.-Mexico border were in the San Diego sector.

These figures exclude about 100 unfinished tunnels found on the Mexican side of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drug tunnels began to proliferate in response to increased border security, particularly border fence construction launched in the 1990s, according to U.S. and Mexican researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more sophisticated our border infrastructure has become, the more the smugglers have upped their game,” said David Shirk, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiego.edu/peace/institutes/tbi/\">Trans-Border Institute\u003c/a> at the University of San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shirk said cartels are going as far as consulting with top engineers in Europe to perfect their tunnel architecture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And they have every incentive to do so.

The tunnels often remain open on the Mexican side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenoir said the sophisticated tunnels centered around San Diego are becoming narrower and harder to detect -- ranging anywhere from 36 inches to less than 4 feet in diameter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the most reliable method of detection has been what Lenoir called “good old-fashioned police work,” with officials pursuing leads from informants who notice suspicious jackhammer sounds, large piles of dirt, or people coming and going at unusual hours. But U.S. federal agencies are now seeking to improve tunnel detection technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tunnel Detection Technology 'Lacking'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“We need to bring the technology piece. Right now, it’s lacking,” Lenoir said. “I mean we’re talking about a niche problem that doesn’t have any parallel to commercial or industry standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Existing technology -- ranging from ground-penetrating radar to sensors that detect changes in microgravity -- gets thrown off by surface clutter and noise, and there is a lot of cross-border traffic in this area. Radio and electromagnetic interference is another problem. Heterogeneous geology along the U.S.-Mexico border -- a mix of porous, sandy and rocky -- also makes it hard to see what is underground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blC2tYPZHJ8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenoir said he does not know if plans to expand the border fence will affect tunneling. But the cartels keep getting more creative in making tunnels, and he said he wants to make sure the U.S. gets more creative in finding them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t go to Walmart and buy those things -- so that’s what we’re working on actively right now,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Galvez Tunnel Remains Open\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>About 90 feet under Otay Mesa, footsteps from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/12/12/459502959/the-bridge-above-the-border-new-pathway-links-tijuana-and-san-diego\">Cross Border Xpress bridge\u003c/a> that connects San Diego and Tijuana, lies a drug tunnel about 6 feet high and 4 feet wide, with lighting and ventilation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is called the Galvez Tunnel. Unlike most tunnels discovered in the U.S., this one was left partly open to train the Tunnel Rats. It used to have a rail system for transporting cocaine, marijuana and other drugs. U.S. investigators found the tunnel before it was finished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Monday, the Tunnel Rats opened it up to give reporters a tour. Lenoir wore a tan shirt with an illustrated cartoon rat on the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like the Cadillac of tunnels,” he said, placing a hand on the sandstone walls, which did not require shoring with cement because they were naturally stable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the tunnel’s sophistication, tool marks along the walls show it was made with a mere hammer drill, like most tunnels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pure manual labor. Blood, sweat and tears,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cartels Get Creative\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some of the most creative elements of drug tunnels involve the way cartels disguise the entry and exit points. The Galvez Tunnel is a good example of that creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This one in particular was hid under a bathroom floor that actually raised and lowered to get in and out. We’ve seen elevators, bona fide elevators with up and down buttons, everything but the music,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11573273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11573273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"A pile of sandbags in the Galvez Tunnel mark the point where it was sealed with concrete.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-375x210.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A pile of sandbags in the Galvez Tunnel mark the point where it was sealed with concrete. \u003ccite>(Matthew Bowler/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For ventilation, criminal groups often utilize things like leaf blowers and floor dryers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My personal favorite is the bounce house blower,” Lenoir said. “Very ingenious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creativity of the tunnels is consistent with Mexican drug cartels’ way of overcoming the border fence above-ground -- using catapults, drones and ladders to get the drugs across, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cartels are always trying to innovate and respond to challenges in exactly the same way that any other business does,” said Tom Wainwright,\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/1610395832\"> author of \"Narconomics,\"\u003c/a> and Britain editor for The Economist. “The message seems to be that whatever technology is used on the U.S. side, the cartels are going to counter with technology of their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Manuel Valenzuela, an investigator for the Mexican border research institute El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, said he does not think tunnel detection technology will ever be good enough to prevent the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the U.S. and Mexican governments really want to stop drug tunnels, Valenzuela said, they need to chase the massive profits they generate -- in the banks. He said that with existing regulatory regimes, banks are a blind spot for authorities on both sides of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the large tunnel of the drug market -- the banks,” he said. “Until we look at that perspective, we’ll keep talking about this game of cat and mouse.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

But U.S. federal agencies are now seeking to improve tunnel detection technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tunnel Detection Technology 'Lacking'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“We need to bring the technology piece. Right now, it’s lacking,” Lenoir said. “I mean we’re talking about a niche problem that doesn’t have any parallel to commercial or industry standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Existing technology -- ranging from ground-penetrating radar to sensors that detect changes in microgravity -- gets thrown off by surface clutter and noise, and there is a lot of cross-border traffic in this area. Radio and electromagnetic interference is another problem. Heterogeneous geology along the U.S.-Mexico border -- a mix of porous, sandy and rocky -- also makes it hard to see what is underground.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/blC2tYPZHJ8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/blC2tYPZHJ8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Lenoir said he does not know if plans to expand the border fence will affect tunneling. But the cartels keep getting more creative in making tunnels, and he said he wants to make sure the U.S. gets more creative in finding them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t go to Walmart and buy those things -- so that’s what we’re working on actively right now,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Galvez Tunnel Remains Open\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>About 90 feet under Otay Mesa, footsteps from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/12/12/459502959/the-bridge-above-the-border-new-pathway-links-tijuana-and-san-diego\">Cross Border Xpress bridge\u003c/a> that connects San Diego and Tijuana, lies a drug tunnel about 6 feet high and 4 feet wide, with lighting and ventilation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is called the Galvez Tunnel. Unlike most tunnels discovered in the U.S., this one was left partly open to train the Tunnel Rats. It used to have a rail system for transporting cocaine, marijuana and other drugs. U.S. investigators found the tunnel before it was finished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Monday, the Tunnel Rats opened it up to give reporters a tour. Lenoir wore a tan shirt with an illustrated cartoon rat on the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like the Cadillac of tunnels,” he said, placing a hand on the sandstone walls, which did not require shoring with cement because they were naturally stable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the tunnel’s sophistication, tool marks along the walls show it was made with a mere hammer drill, like most tunnels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pure manual labor. Blood, sweat and tears,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cartels Get Creative\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some of the most creative elements of drug tunnels involve the way cartels disguise the entry and exit points. The Galvez Tunnel is a good example of that creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This one in particular was hid under a bathroom floor that actually raised and lowered to get in and out. We’ve seen elevators, bona fide elevators with up and down buttons, everything but the music,” Lenoir said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11573273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11573273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"A pile of sandbags in the Galvez Tunnel mark the point where it was sealed with concrete.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-375x210.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/SandbagsTunnel-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A pile of sandbags in the Galvez Tunnel mark the point where it was sealed with concrete. \u003ccite>(Matthew Bowler/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For ventilation, criminal groups often utilize things like leaf blowers and floor dryers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My personal favorite is the bounce house blower,” Lenoir said. “Very ingenious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creativity of the tunnels is consistent with Mexican drug cartels’ way of overcoming the border fence above-ground -- using catapults, drones and ladders to get the drugs across, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cartels are always trying to innovate and respond to challenges in exactly the same way that any other business does,” said Tom Wainwright,\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/1610395832\"> author of \"Narconomics,\"\u003c/a> and Britain editor for The Economist. “The message seems to be that whatever technology is used on the U.S. side, the cartels are going to counter with technology of their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Manuel Valenzuela, an investigator for the Mexican border research institute El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, said he does not think tunnel detection technology will ever be good enough to prevent the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the U.S. and Mexican governments really want to stop drug tunnels, Valenzuela said, they need to chase the massive profits they generate -- in the banks. He said that with existing regulatory regimes, banks are a blind spot for authorities on both sides of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the description of the crime is now \"Sexual Battery,\" period. The address is given as the 800 block of Madison Street in Oakland, not Lake Merritt BART. And the circumstances -- information it would be helpful for other riders to know -- have vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the only problem.

He has also said the site could be a challenge, \"especially if you're not technology-savvy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters Thursday at BART's Powell Street Station, he offered another justification for the change: Compiling the daily log took up too much time in a police agency that is seriously understaffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of our problems is that we don't have enough officers out in the field, out on the system,\" Rojas said. \"And that log -- I'm not aware of any agency that creates a log in that detail and sends it out to folks -- it would take two to three hours a shift and usually four to six hours in a 24-hour period for a lieutenant to put that together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Rojas conceded that CrimeMapping \"falls short\" when it comes to its crime narratives, and he repeated assurances he's given BART board members that the department will work to improve that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hen there's BART's video controversy. To understand that, it helps to go back 18 months to an embarrassing -- some would say scandalous -- moment for the transit agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2016, a man aboard a San Francisco-bound train shot and killed a fellow passenger at BART's West Oakland Station. The incident \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/21/bart-says-it-will-install-surveillance-cameras-on-every-car/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exposed the fact\u003c/a> that virtually all of what looked like security cameras on the system's trains were merely boxes with flashing lights that looked like they were recording something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disclosure prompted BART to launch a crash program of installing cameras, and was well on its way to finishing that project when the first of a pair of headline-grabbing incidents occurred at BART's Coliseum Station in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/12/bart-cops-investigating-weekend-train-robbery-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">late April\u003c/a>, a crowd of teenagers jumped fare gates at the station and rushed aboard a train that was stopped at the platform. They robbed several passengers and beat up one of them before fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/BART-robbery-mob-was-waiting-and-train-doors-11133988.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subsequent reporting\u003c/a> on the incident disclosed that only five of the nine cars on the train -- not including the car where the attack occurred -- had working surveillance cameras. However, video was captured on the station's platform and fare gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 30, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/07/06/another-teen-robbery-aboard-bart-train-at-coliseum-station-but-victim-ok/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a similar incident occurred\u003c/a> aboard a train at the station, with police reporting about a dozen teenagers robbing a passenger of a mobile phone, then fighting with a passenger who pursued them and managed to retrieve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple salient points about the April 22 and June 30 incidents: The earlier attack was described in a BART police crime log, which alerted reporters and led to widespread media coverage within 48 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the district had replaced its daily log with CrimeMapping.com weeks before the June 30 episode, its only public description of the crime was \"Robbery: first degree-strong arm, hands, fists, feet etc. Incident #1706-1626.\" The story, featuring an off-duty security guard who confronted a group of teenagers and retrieved a stolen phone, didn't become public until the San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Another-violent-teen-robbery-on-BART-in-Oakland-11268585.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broke it\u003c/a> five days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left BART with some explaining to do, both internally and externally. What was up with CrimeMapping? Why hadn't the agency issued a press release about the second Coliseum robbery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerry Hamill, BART's assistant general manager for external affairs, set out to answer those questions in \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/07/09/bart-withholding-surveillance-videos-of-crime-to-avoid-stereotypes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a July 7 memo\u003c/a> to the agency's elected board of directors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CrimeMapping, she wrote, \"has increased the efficiency, accuracy and transparency of our crime reporting.\" If members of the media were dissatisfied with it, Hamill said, it was because many reporters were unfamiliar with the CrimeMapping interface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing why there was no press release on the June 30 incident, Hamill said it wasn't a serious enough matter to warrant an alert to the media:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Media Department has criteria for whether to issue a press release, and this incident did not meet them. The robbery was thwarted by the victim’s fellow riders, then the assailants were all detained and identified thanks to a bolstered police presence at Coliseum station. No property was taken, and no injuries required medical attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no benefit to riders, criminal procedure, BART police investigations, or the District generally to elevate such an incident with a press release. To do so would be grossly out of step with other transit jurisdictions and municipal governments, and would paint an inaccurate picture of the BART system as crime-ridden when incidents of crime on transit, including BART, are fewer than in the surrounding communities. The new mapping tool presents crime in a context of what is occurring outside our stations—in the days following the recent attempted robbery, there were over 118 assaults and 33 robberies in the immediate area. All of these incidents were ignored by local media.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From there, Hamill headed for deeper water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Disproportionate elevation of crimes on transit interfaces with local media in such a way to unfairly affect and characterize riders of color,\" she wrote, \"leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports and a high level of racially insensitive commentary directed toward the District through our social media channels, email, and call centers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the BART directors, Contra Costa County board member Debora Allen, wrote back asking for a clarification. \"I don’t understand what role the color of one's skin plays in this issue,\" Allen wrote. \"Can you explain?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps thinking she was writing for an audience of one, Hamill did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The social media reaction to the original Coliseum incident in April was startling in the level of racial profiling that it prompted,\" Hamill told Allen. \"The General Manager got a call about the incident on her voicemail that used racist and incendiary language that made my mouth drop. Many posts used patently offensive language that often involved racial slurs (no news articles ever referenced the race of the offenders yet some members of the public leapt to their own conclusions). Some telephone calls and posts even involved vague threats. The media has proven its tendency to highlight material in the most inflammatory way possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither she nor Allen had mentioned surveillance video to this point in their exchange. Then Hamill offered this observation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If we were to regularly feed the news media video of crimes on our system that involve minority suspects, particularly when they are minors, we would certainly face questions as to why we were sensationalizing relatively minor crimes and perpetuating false stereotypes in the process.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]H[/dropcap]amill is talking about stuff that actually happens in the world. It's undeniable that we in the media do gravitate toward crime stories, the more sensational and fear-inducing the better. Racial stereotyping is real and was rampant after the April 22 \"mob\" robbery at Coliseum BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hamill's statements managed to plow into a crowd of politically and culturally explosive topics: race, people's sense of personal safety when they're out in public, crime and punishment, the public's right to know what their institutions are doing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen, the BART director who called attention to Hamill's comments, said in an interview earlier this week that though she hasn't seen the available videos of the BART Coliseum robberies, she wants BART to make them public. She says it's a matter of transparency, of making the public aware of how such incidents can occur on the transit system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not asking for video of every phone snatching to be shown on the nightly news,\" she said. \"I'm asking for the video of the larger attacks to be shown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether there was a way of alerting the public to crime dangers on BART through some other means -- written reports like this one, for instance -- she said she didn't think so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think people pay as close attention to a written report,\" Allen said. \"I think it (video) has a different value.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Board President Rebecca Saltzman, who represents a district that includes parts of Berkeley and Oakland, said she recognizes that there's public dissatisfaction with the amount of crime information the district is releasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A regular BART rider herself, she said she feels safe when riding the trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm often riding BART late at night or alone,\" Saltzman said. \"But I feel more secure on BART than on many city streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But staying alert is key, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to be aware, just like you should be aware when you're walking on a city street,\" Saltzman said. \"It's important not to get lost in your cellphone or your tablet, especially if you're sitting by a (train) door. ... You should behave the same way you would in any public place and know unfortunately there is a potential for crime, even though overall it's quite safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

To understand that, it helps to go back 18 months to an embarrassing -- some would say scandalous -- moment for the transit agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2016, a man aboard a San Francisco-bound train shot and killed a fellow passenger at BART's West Oakland Station. The incident \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/21/bart-says-it-will-install-surveillance-cameras-on-every-car/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exposed the fact\u003c/a> that virtually all of what looked like security cameras on the system's trains were merely boxes with flashing lights that looked like they were recording something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disclosure prompted BART to launch a crash program of installing cameras, and was well on its way to finishing that project when the first of a pair of headline-grabbing incidents occurred at BART's Coliseum Station in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/12/bart-cops-investigating-weekend-train-robbery-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">late April\u003c/a>, a crowd of teenagers jumped fare gates at the station and rushed aboard a train that was stopped at the platform. They robbed several passengers and beat up one of them before fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/BART-robbery-mob-was-waiting-and-train-doors-11133988.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subsequent reporting\u003c/a> on the incident disclosed that only five of the nine cars on the train -- not including the car where the attack occurred -- had working surveillance cameras. However, video was captured on the station's platform and fare gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 30, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/07/06/another-teen-robbery-aboard-bart-train-at-coliseum-station-but-victim-ok/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a similar incident occurred\u003c/a> aboard a train at the station, with police reporting about a dozen teenagers robbing a passenger of a mobile phone, then fighting with a passenger who pursued them and managed to retrieve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple salient points about the April 22 and June 30 incidents: The earlier attack was described in a BART police crime log, which alerted reporters and led to widespread media coverage within 48 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the district had replaced its daily log with CrimeMapping.com weeks before the June 30 episode, its only public description of the crime was \"Robbery: first degree-strong arm, hands, fists, feet etc. Incident #1706-1626.\" The story, featuring an off-duty security guard who confronted a group of teenagers and retrieved a stolen phone, didn't become public until the San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Another-violent-teen-robbery-on-BART-in-Oakland-11268585.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broke it\u003c/a> five days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left BART with some explaining to do, both internally and externally. What was up with CrimeMapping? Why hadn't the agency issued a press release about the second Coliseum robbery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerry Hamill, BART's assistant general manager for external affairs, set out to answer those questions in \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/07/09/bart-withholding-surveillance-videos-of-crime-to-avoid-stereotypes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a July 7 memo\u003c/a> to the agency's elected board of directors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CrimeMapping, she wrote, \"has increased the efficiency, accuracy and transparency of our crime reporting.\" If members of the media were dissatisfied with it, Hamill said, it was because many reporters were unfamiliar with the CrimeMapping interface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing why there was no press release on the June 30 incident, Hamill said it wasn't a serious enough matter to warrant an alert to the media:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Media Department has criteria for whether to issue a press release, and this incident did not meet them. The robbery was thwarted by the victim’s fellow riders, then the assailants were all detained and identified thanks to a bolstered police presence at Coliseum station. No property was taken, and no injuries required medical attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no benefit to riders, criminal procedure, BART police investigations, or the District generally to elevate such an incident with a press release. To do so would be grossly out of step with other transit jurisdictions and municipal governments, and would paint an inaccurate picture of the BART system as crime-ridden when incidents of crime on transit, including BART, are fewer than in the surrounding communities. The new mapping tool presents crime in a context of what is occurring outside our stations—in the days following the recent attempted robbery, there were over 118 assaults and 33 robberies in the immediate area. All of these incidents were ignored by local media.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From there, Hamill headed for deeper water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Disproportionate elevation of crimes on transit interfaces with local media in such a way to unfairly affect and characterize riders of color,\" she wrote, \"leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports and a high level of racially insensitive commentary directed toward the District through our social media channels, email, and call centers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the BART directors, Contra Costa County board member Debora Allen, wrote back asking for a clarification. \"I don’t understand what role the color of one's skin plays in this issue,\" Allen wrote. \"Can you explain?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps thinking she was writing for an audience of one, Hamill did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The social media reaction to the original Coliseum incident in April was startling in the level of racial profiling that it prompted,\" Hamill told Allen. \"The General Manager got a call about the incident on her voicemail that used racist and incendiary language that made my mouth drop. Many posts used patently offensive language that often involved racial slurs (no news articles ever referenced the race of the offenders yet some members of the public leapt to their own conclusions). Some telephone calls and posts even involved vague threats. The media has proven its tendency to highlight material in the most inflammatory way possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither she nor Allen had mentioned surveillance video to this point in their exchange. Then Hamill offered this observation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If we were to regularly feed the news media video of crimes on our system that involve minority suspects, particularly when they are minors, we would certainly face questions as to why we were sensationalizing relatively minor crimes and perpetuating false stereotypes in the process.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">H\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>amill is talking about stuff that actually happens in the world. It's undeniable that we in the media do gravitate toward crime stories, the more sensational and fear-inducing the better. Racial stereotyping is real and was rampant after the April 22 \"mob\" robbery at Coliseum BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hamill's statements managed to plow into a crowd of politically and culturally explosive topics: race, people's sense of personal safety when they're out in public, crime and punishment, the public's right to know what their institutions are doing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen, the BART director who called attention to Hamill's comments, said in an interview earlier this week that though she hasn't seen the available videos of the BART Coliseum robberies, she wants BART to make them public. She says it's a matter of transparency, of making the public aware of how such incidents can occur on the transit system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not asking for video of every phone snatching to be shown on the nightly news,\" she said. \"I'm asking for the video of the larger attacks to be shown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether there was a way of alerting the public to crime dangers on BART through some other means -- written reports like this one, for instance -- she said she didn't think so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think people pay as close attention to a written report,\" Allen said. \"I think it (video) has a different value.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Board President Rebecca Saltzman, who represents a district that includes parts of Berkeley and Oakland, said she recognizes that there's public dissatisfaction with the amount of crime information the district is releasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A regular BART rider herself, she said she feels safe when riding the trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm often riding BART late at night or alone,\" Saltzman said. \"But I feel more secure on BART than on many city streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But staying alert is key, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lopez Sanchez is a Mexican national with a long history of deportations and illegal re-entries in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his defense attorneys argue that Lopez Sanchez has no history of violent crime or theft, and he simply picked up an object wrapped in cloth that he found on San Francisco's Pier 14.
