plaza and no major problems if you are driving northbound on the 101. let's go back to the desk. uc berkeley police in riot gear are now raiding the occupied campus. claudine wong joins us with what is happening right now claudine? >> reporter: you can see uc berkeley police still standing guard keeping people from going inside the plaza and if you look on the steps, there were 15 tents as of yesterday morning and you can see remnants of what used to be there. the crowd of protesters that was cleared out, they remain on the other side of that police line basically just standing here they wanted to go back into the plaza and they said the university said they would be allowed to protest there 24 hours a day and they are not happy they are not allowed to

take a stand and whether or not they are allowed to camp, tell me what happened this morning were you sleeping when they came in? >> yes, when i got the message they were tearing down tents and arresting people. >> reporter: do you know if anybody had been arrested? >> yes, one guy had a dog with him and he was being arrested and he asked somebody to take his dog home. >> reporter: what is the issue at this point with protesters out here? >> well of course we are still upset about education but at the same time police are being used to bridge our first amendment rights. we hope they will put down their riot shields and come join us, there is no reason this should not be their protests too. it was expected, i am an

occupied medic and we hope other americans and bay area residents are as concerned as we are and come out and join us. >> and the situation as it stands now, we have somebody who will jump at the same time police are holding the line and you have people who are not camping but sitting on blankets hanging out and there is a bus back there, maybe they are loading up tents and equipment. students we spoke to said they are not going anywhere, they are moving back on to the plaza, how long they will do that, we will keep you updated on the situation. camping permits will no longer be given out in santa rosa and starting this afternoon, those without permits will be told to take down their tents. now the latest development comes after occupied protesters

said they had too many restrictions and protesters with permits will be allowed to stay. a big cleanup in san francisco... occupied protesters swarmed the lobby of the bank building at 55 california street. they were mostly college students and with once they got inside the bank they sprayed graffiti on the walls and set up a tent. although no injuries were reported 95 protesters were arrested. speculation, one group of occupied protesters may be forced out of that location. kraig debro is at the federal reserve building and those being allowed to leave on their own will be evicted. >> reporter: there is 101

market street occupied location they are supposed to be out of their areas and i asked one person and he said he had not heard that order and a sergeant is also unaware of the order. they told occupied campers here on market street to leave by 4:00 p.m. today. he told them to leave before so it is not necessarily etched in stone and all the signs show they are against the economic systems and the perception of that is very much alive. they have a list of conditions to be met in order for the encampment to be adjusted with the mayor yesterday and they recognize the conditions that need to be met including a ban on drugs and alcohol.

this occupied site on 101 market street is the actual original site and we shot this video close to the one month anniversary and at that time the justin herman plaza had not been started and that became an encampment when this one got too large. i will go and speak to them and ask them if they know anything about this order and see if i can confirm the order to leave at 4:00 p.m. today. kraig debro ktvu channel 2 news san francisco. make sure you stay tuned on ktvu channel 2 news to get the very latest. the faculty at cal state
