Nasim Aghdam, 39, eventually shot and injured three people at the San Bruno location before she killed herself.
The video, however, shows a calm and collected Nasim Aghdam as officers asked her why her family in San Diego had reported her as an at risk missing person.
The roughly 30-minute long video also shows audio of the officers communicating with their dispatch center about Aghdam.
One officer found Aghdam's vehicle about 1:40 a.m. April 3. The vehicle matched the description of the missing person’s report her family had filed for her earlier.
The officer checked to see if anyone was inside the vehicle, the video shows. Aghdam was sleeping inside and a check of her records did not reveal any instances or threats of violence.
A second, female, officer arrived and they called the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to confirm the missing person report for Aghdam.
The officers discussed why Aghdam may be at risk before they eventually knocked on her car window to wake her.

If California had a law like Florida’s Baker Act, they could have taken her in and disarmed her weapons.

If they had known about her weapon they would probably have taken her into custody or at least confiscated it - unless it was in a locked case and the ammo was in a separate locked container.
New hires have been known to sleep in their cars on the Google campus, shower at the gym and eat for free at one of the numerous restaurants on campus while paying down student debts. She wouldn't have looked that strange to MVPD. A lot of Googlers behave a little bit... abnormal.
Even her parents knew she was going to possibly do something crazy.
Had they had The Baker Act, they could have notified authorities and had her picked up for 48 hours..................
5150 baby.
Well that’s your all-American, White Christian, Trump-votin’, gun-totin’, NRA-luvin’ dude right there.
Oh, wait....
I don’t know what that is..........Is it a California version of the Baker Act?..............
Either whacked out of her mind on drugs or dangerously off her proper ones. Even with the accent, I am picking up inebriation. A few too many “uninteligble”s for me, but we’ll just let her go on living in/driving her car? 20/20 hind sight I guess.
Tattooed it on my forehead. Only it’s backwards. Cause I did it in the mirror.
Mountain View is overrun with people sleeping in their cars and its believed many work at Google and other tech companies nearby. Our nearby library parking lot has a car periodically show up filled with junk in the front and back seats — somebody is living in it. The police have an understanding that the person is harmless and they don’t hassle him or her.
Even in Florida, I doubt the police would have had any reason to lock her up under the Baker Act. She wasn’t acting irrationally.
Your link says that even in Florida, the officers would have needed evidence she was either mentally ill, or a danger to herself or others, which it doesn’t seem they had.
Is there a District of Columbia version of 5150 for reporters asking stupid questions at WH breifings?
Thats really the reason I clicked on it. I was hoping to hear some Van Halen in the background.
Every contact made by law enforcement seems to have some whiff of disingenuousness. Why would her family report her as an at risk missing person? Well, why didn't you ask them when they told you? It's always a bad-faith fishing expedition.
