>>we have seen this stance on our streets and even our own. freeways and police have tried all kinds of things to try to stop them. but side shows just so don't seem to be slowing down and we've seen the damage they can do and how dangerous they can be. so what's the answer? today? today we'll talk to a bay area county supervisor. about the problem and his plan to get them off our streets. will have that conversation. in just a few minutes, but 1st a look at your news headlines. 2045 we've got a is required. requiring the back of the aircraft. fire rescue that is aired traffic control, raising the alarm after smoke filled the cabin. on an american airlines flight at sfo. the airline says the smoke came from a laptop. in a customer's bag. passengers evacuated the tarmac. airport officials say 3 people suffered minor injuries. it was scheduled to take off to miami. the man accused of kidnapping a

together to tackle climate change. a first 1st of its kind. experiment in green. transportation is taking to the waters of the san francisco bay. the mbi. see changes billed as the world's 1st commercial. passenger ferry. that's 100%. powered by hydrogen fuel cells. the vessel launched today from the ferry building. and for the next 6 months. it will offer free rides along the san francisco waterfront. the former prison on alcatraz island is about to get a makeover. a construction firm plans to tackle structural issues over the next 3 years. removing hazardous. materials. repairing the contract. concrete. and replacing steel reinforcements. and making other seismic upgrades. the firm has a $48 0 contract to get the job. done. well, it is a 1st alert weather friday due to this long stretch of dangerous heat. but chief meteorologist paul hagen says some relief is finally around the corner. good news, paul. >paul>good news indeed, one
3:05 pm
last 1st alert weather day, but the heat dome is going to start to retreat to the east. in fact, that retreat has already begun. it will be more noticeable as we head through the weekend but around the periphery of that heat dome the southerly winds are going to be directing some moisture across california, which means passing clouds over the bay area. that will actually help to reduce our temperatures on saturday, but it's also going to lead to another potential. hazard. little ripple in the atmosphere is going to be sneaking up the coast. means normal temperatures are going to be sticking around for as long as that thing is hanging out just off the coastline. that's going to be the 1st half of next week, but the hazard that that monsoonal moisture poses is the threat of dry lightning, not in the bay area, but through almost all of the sierra. this is the storm prediction center's thunderstorm outlook for saturday dry lightning is going to be possible. just across much of the south western us. but including the sierra, where the latest spill of hot weather has been cooking those dry fire fuels in the last thing we need is any lightning strikes. into those fuels, even if we don't get any new fire started. they're still smoking produced by the lake fire in santa barbara county,
3:06 pm
and some of that has been directed toward towards us and that's going to continue as we head through the weekend, but the majority of what future cast to simulating here is elevated in the atmosphere. not much smoke at ground level, which means our air quality shouldn't get any worse than the moderate category. and should be more into the good category by early next week. right now, just a little foggy right along the coast. a very compact marine layer still and it's still hot today. what are 1 in concord and in livermore? temperature stands at 90 in san jose 92 degrees in santa rosa 70s in concord. concord in mid 60s in san francisco. so already the cool down is underway around the bay. and, of course, it never got that warm to begin with closer to the coast. you're going to heading out to the giants game as they take on my minnesota twins temperature at game time is still going to be in the middle portion of the 60s, but then cooling down to around 60. degrees, which is pretty much what you expect for a july game at oracle park. we're going to see the fog trying to spread out, but it's not going to be too widespread to start the day at tomorrow. that will change as we head into sunday morning, and especially monday and tuesday more of a typical back and forth fog pattern. you see the clouds that dollar shade of gray is the cloud cover with the monsoonal moisture.
3:07 pm
streaming through the skies further off of ground level across the bay area on saturday. even lingering into sunday. temperatures tonight dropping down to the 60s where we was warmest today, so it's inland and the east bay in the senate clara valley. but at least dropping off after the hot temperatures today and 50s where it didn't warm up as much highs tomorrow still above average, but only a couple degrees above average in san francisco and oakland. anywhere from 3 to 9 degrees above normal, farther inland, seeing another 90 degree day for san jose, but a mix of 80s and 90s down the peninsula in the santa clara valley mid 60s along the coast once again, no change there. still hot, but appropriately hot from mid july inland in the east bay. the tribal in the low 90s, some of the hottest spots farther east into the mid 90s with temperatures in the 60s and 70s around the bay. a lot of low 80s for the north bay until you go farther inland. where temperatures will reach further into the 80s or the 90s or inland mendocino county and lake county, even getting up to or above 100 degrees. let's take a look at the 7 day forecast and we will start within. inland parts of the bay area where temperatures are
3:08 pm
going to return to pretty much. what's normal for this time of year? which largely means mid to upper 80s in those inland locations from sunday through at least the middle of next week, a little baby warm up towards the tail end of next week, so it could be another spell of hot weather looming for late july, but it's still far enough away that we don't need to be overly concerned about that. just yet. let's enjoy the return to normal temperatures. which means around the bay low to mid 70s, maybe back to the upper 70s, a week from today. but all in all, very close to normal and along the coast. well, not much. change your temperatures at all dropped back down to the low 60s by sunday and monday and back to mostly gray skies overhead through the majority of next week, but once the next bill of warmer weather arrives, maybe you'll see a bit more sunshine breaking through those clouds. liz >liz>paul, thanks they are a thorn in the side of law enforcement all across the bay area. sideshow. shows blocking traffic and posing a danger to anyone who happens to be around them, and makovec joins me with a look at what bay area cities are doing to try to get a handle on this >ott-1>and it really is a problem, liz. there is now a multi city multi agency
3:09 pm
coalition. in the works. to try to share info. one had a best crackdown down on the problem. but in the meantime, it really exists. as we know all around the bay area here is an example of how out of control things can be this sideshow happening about a month ago in san jose, a person was hit by a car and then when police tried to help they became a target. police released this video of spectators climbing on that patrol car. stamping on the windshield. and officer was slightly injured and over the next few days they did arrest all of these people from on charges from inciting a riot. and assault on a peace officer. two felony vandalism. they also seized a 3 d printer. used to make firearms and 2 ghost guns. because a lot of these crimes do go hand in hand. in san francisco. the city. crews are installing new speed bumps, too. try to stop side shows. that is after about 2 dozen big events so far this year, people who live near some of the hot spots are fed up. >as a resident and taxpayer. it sickens and repulses me. like most people, we just have to tolerate it. um by that. i
3:10 pm
mean to say you can't go to the police because right now they're understaffed and what are they going to do about it? >ott-1>now here. is 1 recent example. right in front of pier 1 in san francisco. a car on fire cars doing doughnuts around it, spectators standing right by there. as high powered laser. pointers flashed through the sky. police told several vehicles, but nobody was arrested. and at a recent sideshow in the mission of building was vandalized. in march, san francisco voters passed prop e which will allow police to use drones and surveillance measures, hoping that might help as a crime fighting tool, but so far no data on that, and we have seen plenty of side shows across the bay in oakland, including this 1 where vehicles were blocking traffic at grand avenue near lake merritt. and several times this year. side shows have taken over the bay bridge last year. oakland city council approved a law making it illegal to promote or organized side shows on social media. but enforcement is an issue with the opd being severely understaffed. list. >liz>all right, and thank you so much well, still ahead,
3:11 pm
we'll talk with the bay area supervisor. who says side shows are here, too. stay and we need to figure out ways to work with them. the approach is suggesting. to keep people safe. plus this bay area mayor says he has had enough. how he's trying to crack down on side shows by turning a target away from drivers.
3:12 pm

3:14 pm
>liz>the city of antioch is taking step. towards a side. crackdown. not just on the organizers. but also and he would watching. neighbors and even the mayor told our john ramos. it's a long time coming. in 1 neighborhood in south antioch. nearly every intersection has the tale tale tire marks of a sideshow. >all the dogs start barking. the people are scared. and sometimes you feel like something is about to hit your home. this man lives in a nearby home and says individual cars will often arrive at 3:00 in the morning just to practice for about 5 minutes. mayor lamar hernandez. thorpe has had enough. he says he's tried 3 other times to get his colleagues on the council to pass a sideshow. ordinance without success. the city is trying utilizing drones. and installing small bumps and some intersections. but right now police have no authority to punish anyone except the drivers. themselves. but some
3:15 pm
believe the law should also hold the spectators responsible. and perhaps most importantly, those who organize and advertise the mass sideshow. shows. >that has been the most effective tool we have is a city to stop side shows when we're proactive. with law enforcement and finding those who are organizing these and dismantling them there. that's what we've been most effective so to me, that was the most important part. because the reality is the spectator when no 1 is used to spectator law. pittsburgh has 1. they've never used it. on the council thought the previous ordinances were too strict others saw them as not tough enough. the mayor is giving them a choice. hold just organizers responsible or includes spectators as well. but either way, he says, it's time to make a choice. >liz>city council unanimously approved the 1st reading of the ordinance that prohibits organizing. advertising. and being a spectator at these types of side shows and they'll take it up again. its and the mayor tells us it wouldn't go into effect until sometime in
3:16 pm
september. and this week law enforcement for more than a dozen agencies around the bay area and sacramento came together. with the goal of tackling side shows they're sharing information salute. oceans and ideas to try to stop them. this was hosted by san jose police. and another individual calling for a regional approach against these side shows the san mateo county supervisor david canopy. thank you for so much for joining >anne>us. thank you for having >liz>me. so how big of an issue is this in your area? san mateo >anne>can look, it's a it's a bay area issue in san mateo county. we have seen these side shows. we've seen. the various ideas put forward, especially around. crackdowns. but we need to really reimagine. i think 1 of the things that we need to do, and samberg taylor sacramento county has done this and what they've done is is there. created permitting. process. going through the sheriff's department. to allow these shows. to exist. vitally vitally. important. and so you can only have up to 100 people.
3:17 pm
in the daytime. no alcohol. this is really the solution. we can continue to enforce and force. but the staffing levels especially at police departments, and sheriff's departments, they're not. they're at record lows, so we need to be creative and how we think about this. no different we had in the 80s. skateboarders skateboarders. were criticized. criticized but what do we do as local government? we created skatepark. so it isn't a 1 size fit all solution, but we need to find safe. places. for these car shows to exist. >liz>you're proposing that the city's individual cities create these designated areas that they have the space for. legal essentially car shows, right where people could come and legally watch these side shows in a safe controlled environment. >anne>the safe controlled environment. is critically. important. along law enforcement. needs to be a part of it. community based organizations. it's a calm
3:18 pm
approach. if we do nothing today. people are still going to get high >liz>fee. >>what we want to do. is to make sure that they get high fee in a safe place. >liz>part of the appeal, though, that these side shows are illegal that there's sort of this cat and mouse game that the spectators in the drivers are playing with law. enforcement. and it's it's kind of underground. it's done for these social media portals. isn't isn't that kind of part of the appeal of the side shows in by legalizing that? do you think that's taking that away and do you think it's actually going to prevent these types of illegal side shows from happening? >anne>look, i think it's a paradigm shift. i think we need to give those sort of opportunities. we need to make sure that we have law enforce. and others. these could be future engineers. these could be future mechanics. we have an opportunity. to reach out. through the through our young people and other alternatives. what we're doing now. is is
3:19 pm
currently not working. but having another path. i think is the direction we want to go >liz>in. now. you talked about the skateboard culture. and many would argue that there is a sideshow. culture that release really started here in the bay area started in oakland, you see it in the music videos nowadays. you see it in all these action movies fast and furious, is there an argument to be made that it's important to also embrace the culture and that way you can also control it a lot like the skateboard >anne>culture? look, it's an international channel fund phenomenon. whether you're in johannesburg, south africa. this anywhere in the united states these side shows are taking place while it originated in oakland in the bay area. we need to think about it differently. no different. when we did when they dealt with low riders. low riders when they 1st came out, there were people getting cited. people getting arrested. now you go into different cities throughout the bay area. and they celebrate low riders. so really, it's about getting
3:20 pm
ahead of this issue. it's about providing an alternate. space. a safe space. and what we really need to do is to communicate that message. the fines are important. the fines are critical. but at the end of the day what are we doing to find? concrete solutions? to provide an alternative? to people? >liz>so 1 last question, though, if there's these controlled side shows in these different cities in your counties specifically how would you pay for them? would you charge people to come to the shows with the city provides security? for this >anne>time thinking of is just not. it's not the same mateo county issue. i'm looking at as a bay area issue. what would happen is through the various sheriff's departments they would have to apply for a permit. they'd go through this permit. there'll be certain regulations on time. how many people can attend. there'd be all these sort of regulations. with that would do is to make sure that we create a safe space. could be on private
3:21 pm
property. but it would have to be permitted. obviously, fire department there has there has to be regulations. to make this safe. but to all those naysayers out there, this is currently happening. this is existing and so we're trying to do is provide a viable option for the sides. shows. >liz>supervisor david cannabis thank you so much for being here with us. >anne>thank you for having >liz>me alright. san mateo county. supervisor david cannabis with us coming up, he says he invited a car club and then got hassled by police. why this business owner says it was all a big misunderstanding. all right, repeated. and the stern grove concert series continues this weekend with grammy award winning group the commodores. we'll be bringing you concert from stern grove. all summer long on our sister station pix plus 44. cable 12 you can catch the commodores, this sunday at

3:26 pm
that we could still have our grand opening. just not the car meet, but people are more than welcome to join us at any time. >liz>still, the opening went on as planned with current newscasts, and their vehicles. outside. they said they weren't surprised to have the attention of law enforcement. >i no, i think everybody is suspicious of something they don't understand. i think if you're part of the car scene, there's nothing to be suspicious about it just like minded people going hanging out no different than a bowling league baseball team. were basketball team. it's the same thing you think this was an overreaction by the city. absolutely. i don't think there's anything to overreact to literally just a parking chill. and this isn't rocket science. you can literally look to see what kind of car me it's going to be. so this isn't like there, you know, they should see the post and be like, oh, it's going to be a sideshow. these never turn into side shows. >liz>the says he was never trying to pick a fight. just trying to make his 1st day as success. we reached out to concord police for a comment on this but did not get a
