Topic: California Highway Patrol

A report from a law enforcement source suggests that the deployment of the National Guard and Highway Patrol to San Francisco is primarily intended to secure the city for the upcoming APEC CEO Summit in November. The Moscone Center will host world leaders, necessitating a "cleanup" of the streets that the understaffed SFPD cannot manage alone. The segment also touches on theories regarding Chinese involvement in the fentanyl trade as historical retaliation.

A news clip from the Salinas Valley describes a woman, Maria Alejo, who had to identify her stolen 1994 Acura in a newspaper photo despite the car being in a police lot. The hosts criticize the California Highway Patrol for not contacting the owner directly via registration or VIN records. They speculate that police departments may intentionally delay notifications to profit from storage fees or vehicle auctions.
