comes as the cdc is warning about a rising number of measles cases around the country and overseas. measles is highly contagious. one infected person can infect nine out of ten unvaccinated people. they come into contact with. the possible exposure in alameda county happened on saturday, march 9th at the sons of liberty restaurant in san leandro, sometime between 4:45 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. if you were at the restaurant at that time, you should reach out to your health care provider or the public health department. if you or your child are an infant 11 months of age or younger, not vaccinated for measles. unsure of your measles vaccination status? pregnant, immunocompromised, a health care worker or a child care provider, and health officials are urging vaccinations to help prevent more outbreaks. >> when kids have one vaccine in, we're talking about a 93% efficacy in protection against the measles when they have two vaccines themselves, where we go

up to 95 to 97% efficacy, anyone who was at this restaurant should watch for symptoms of measles, and they can happen 7 to 21 days after exposure. >> they include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash. and in rare cases, people with measles can develop a brain infection or even die from complications. gloria rodriguez abc seven news kumasi thank you, gloria. >> we now know the names of the family hit and killed over the weekend as they were waiting at a bus stop in san francisco's west portal neighborhood. they were 40 year old diego cardoza, delia de oliveira, 38 year old matilda ramos pinto, and one year old joaquin pinto de oliveira, an infant, is still in the hospital. the 78 year old driver of the suv that struck them has been arrested. abc seven is not naming her until she is potentially charged in court. her attorney issued a statement saying his client,

quote, and her family joined the community in mourning the tragic loss of life that occurred in west portal over the weekend and that she has been fully cooperating with investigators and will continue to do so. the family is asking for privacy during the investigation. a plea deal has been reached for the driver accused in a dui crash that killed professional cyclist ethan boyes in san francisco's presidio last year, and now other cyclists are worried that the agreement could impact safety. this agreement reduces all charges against 81 year old kinman lowe to misdemeanors, including the dui and vehicular manslaughter charges. it means he would spend a maximum of one year in jail. boyes family sent a letter to the judge saying they believe ethan would not want to see lowe incarceration. lowe incarcerated. excuse me and endure the process of a criminal trial. cyclists, we spoke with show disappointment with that

punishment, and i respect what the family has asked for. >> but i'm so scared that this sends a message that my life as a cyclist doesn't matter. >> lowe's attorney says lowe had two glasses of wine before the crash. however specific blood alcohol levels could not be determined. >> san francisco is a step closer to installing speed cameras at 33 locations throughout the city. the proposal was formally presented during yesterday's sfmta a meeting next month. the board is expected to take the important step of approving the locations. there was almost no opposition during yesterday's public comment on the plan. >> i'm all for this, this program and i'm i'm happy to see that there's going to be 33 cameras, but i hope that it expands and it's successful. >> we in san francisco are far behind other places have the cameras and they're saving lives

. >> as long as it doesn't hit any bumps along the way. sfmta expects to have the cameras up and running in early 2025. cameras will snap photos of drivers who go 11mph or more over the speed limit, and those drivers will then face fines. in addition to those speed cameras, san francisco will soon begin installing the first of 400 automated license plate readers in a new effort to fight crime. mayor london breed spoke with abc7 news about what to expect from that program. >> it's going to be at 100 locations around san francisco, so there'll be license plate readers that will help us combat crime in a lot of different ways. some of the challenges around speeding car break ins, car theft, sideshows, all of those things, these automated license plate readers will be very critical in helping us to track people as they move around the city, especially as it relates to crime. we expect all those cameras to be up. sometime by the month of april, and they'll be all over the city,

and they'll be used for different things to be clear. so, for example, if there's a car that's stolen, it'll give us the ability, red corvette to pull it up and to look at all the locations, look at all the license plates, and really identify and see a path of travel, potentially, as to where that car might have gone. and the tools to look for it. so it's really about maximizing our use of technology to help combat crime in san francisco. >> and the money for the license plate readers is being funded by a $17 million grant specifically aimed at fighting crime in the state. >> the skystar observation wheel may be staying near san francisco's fisherman's wharf longer than originally planned. >> the city moved the wheel from golden gate park to the waterfront ahead of apec back in november, and now the mayor wants to see it stay there for another year and a half, the mayor tweeted, saying more than 90,000 people have been on it since it moved to the new spot. it's only licensed to be there through the end of april. >> this morning, there's growing confusion over a controversial immigration enforcement law in

texas. the law is on hold again. just hours after the supreme court ruled that it could go into effect. a man is here breaking down what's happening? >> yeah. reggie, this controversial law is known as sb four. it gives texas police more power to arrest people suspected of crossing the us mexico border illegally. and it allows officials to deport migrants to mexico, even if that's not where they originally came from. immediately after it was signed. the law was challenged in court yesterday, the u.s. supreme court cleared the way for it to take effect, but they also kicked it back to an appeals court. then late last night, that court made a ruling putting the law on hold until after oral arguments, which are scheduled for today in a case challenging the law if allowed to take effect, sb four would be among the strictest immigration laws in the nation. >> i think it would be fair to interpret it as a law never intended on incarcerating people , and a law intended really to deter people. >> what we don't want is,

persons of color to be targeted. for no other reason than, the color of their skin. >> mexico's foreign minister called the law xenophobic. the biden administration has called it unconstitutional and a violation of federal law. supreme court justice sonia sotomayor, in her dissent, warned the decision invites further chaos in crisis in immigration enforcement. it's not clear when the appeals court will rule after today's arguments. back to the desk. >> thank you. amanda. a warning about scammers pretending to be with the federal trade commission. the ftc says thieves are using the names of real agency employees trying to trick you. the agency says it will never contact you for money, tell you to move your money to protect it, tell you to buy gold bars or send you to a bitcoin atm. so if you get a call like this asking you to do any of those things, you need to report it to fraud. dot ftc.gov 5-10 this morning we have just patchy cloud cover out there.
