IT REVEALS THE CONCERNS OF THE CALLER.

A MALE CHANGING THE DIAPER OF A PERSON ON THE SIDEWALK AND THEY SAID THAT RODRIGUEZ LOOKED TRANSIENT.

BUT NOT RESPONDING TO THE CALL WAS A DIFFICULT SITUATION.

>> WHAT IF THE CHILD WAS NOT OKAY AND HAD BEEN ABDUCTED.

THEN, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED THERE?

THAT INCLUDES POLICING.

HE SAYS WHAT HAPPENED TO MIGUEL WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO SOMEBODY THAT LOOKS LIKE HIM.

BUT IF IT DID?

>> I DO NOT KNOW THAT I WOULD BE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES IF I HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD.

AND THAT IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CHANGE.

THEY DON'T EXPECT IT WILL RIVAL THE HISTORIC HURRICANES FROM LAST YEAR BUT IT COULD BE 60% ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

>>> WE ARE KEEPING THINGS COOL WITH CLOUDS HANGING AROUND.

THAT IS ALL PART OF THIS UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

THAT COULD BRING SHOWERS TO THE MOUNTAINS.
