looking at how often officers' body cameras are recording use of force incidents. the chief agreed to talk policy. >> light on and light off. >> the size of a credit card. this camera is worn by oakland's 661 police officers. they have the highest number of cameras on the streets in the bay area and they made national headlines after the department released edited videos of two encounters. a rooftop foot chase ended when a man got stuck in between two buildings and died. >> we started our program real before anybody else. >> sean wentz says since 2011, they have seen a 6% reduction in force. 2011 officers used force in

nearly 1,500 incidents. last year 504. complaints are down, about 30%. >> we've seen that the video overwhelmingly supports police officers. not always but in the vast majority of cases. >> do you track officers? >> one of the steps is the supervisor has to watch the videos from every use of force that happens. not just the member but the others there as well. >> in the incidents last year 24 were not captured on camera. 20 were reprimanded by their supervisors. four cases went further to the internal affairs division for investigation and displain. what is your expectation when it comes to officers and when they

have their cameras on? what happens if they don't? >> if the officer has no prior history they will be dealt with informally. if there's a repet, it becomes a disciplinary action. >> morris said he's seeing more officers turning off their cameras. >> we have footage of an officer looking at another officer and pointing to their chest saying let's have this conversation in a moment. >> is that code? >> it is. it's an unwritten. >> what do you make that have? >> i can see why it may appear to be suspicious. officers have to have conversations that shouldn't be recorded. >> the chief says officers are allowed to stop reporting when they're talking tactics or strategy.

>> there's no purpose in parts of the criminal case. >> why isn't it reasonable to have a private conversation without the body camera on? >> it may be reasonable. what do we demand when they're working and on duty? the problem is it leaves space for interpretation. >> the chief says opd officers record and upload 12 terabyte of data every month, used as a study at stanford university. analyzinging the interaction that can be used how officers are trained not just here but agencies nationwide. >> we are capturing information between police officers than we've ever captured or provide

ed at any time in our history. it's difficult to believe we're not being that transparent. >> unlike some departments. a box isn't required to indicate whether they were rolling when they used force. the chief will consider adding that to track the information easier. if you have a tip call us at tips or send us an e-mail to the unit. in sunnyvale city leaders met with a mobile home community slapped with a recent rent hike. hundreds of people living in the plaza del ray were forced to make a decision when their rent went up 7%. a spokesperson says the increase was meant to pay for upgrades but many say they wouldn't be

speed rail program has taken a new turn. the first major stage wa california's ambitious high-speed rail program has taken a new turn. the first major was to provide service between bakersfield and los angeles. what other changes can we expect down t lhe line? larry, what does this mean if the bay area does connect first? >> you don't want to buy tickets because it's going to be a while before it's put together. from one reason, one major reason.

there's significant programs here and that is when there's a problem geographically it's political as well. the problem is this, southern california, perhaps building a big final that would go into southern california. and the problem here is that building those tunnels is going to be costly. will they build the tunnels? if they do it, which neighborhoods will be affected? >> are we over the hump in terms of obstacles in the bay area? >> it's not entirely established yet. there are a few things to work out and issues between san jose and san francisco but the issues here are pretty much solved.

what's going to happen as we get down to the peninsula area, but those issues will be solved. >> high-speed rail as many of us know is a thorny issues because of the rising costs. critics say be stuck with a train to nowhere because the project has been at so many points along the way stalled. >> my crystal ball is broken. we know this much, major infrastructure problems, vicky, are painful, difficult, whether they're roads, water systems, electricity grids, all of these things, they are very expensive investments. costs go up over time because of lawsuits.

all of these things make it much more complex. >> let's talk about funding. congress doesn't seem to be -- we're not getting indications congress is interested in funding the project. what is the financial plan to complete the high-speed rail? >> you don't want to count on congress with the republicans in charge. the rail agency is going to rely on cap and trade funds from the state. let's call it the cornerstone. more is expected to come. it's expected to grow to about a billion dollars or more every year. the rest of the funding, that won't be enough. it will come over time from the public sector and private sources. we're looking at another ten years here before anything is completed and 20 years before the entire project. there's a long time to fund

this. gosh, $60 million, $70 billion is over time. >> looking back some say we should have built more roads with this money. >> 20/20 hindsight. we know that california has twice as many people today as we had 40 years ago. and we haven't come close to building twice as many roads. we're not keeping up. we know it. we feel it. we would have to build another 12 additional lanes of highway 5. think of what that means, all these kinds of things so whether they're right, that remains to be seen.

representatives will present the plan, that builds the next week or so and when we see that a good idea from the legislators what their concerns are about this controversial project that, yeah, seems to be working its way through. >> coming up soon. lar larry, thank you for your time.
