( marty )concerns are growing

over how uber screens its drivers. this, after an investigation found many uber drivers who passed background checks have been convicted of crimes. drew griffin reports. when colorado's public safety commissioner heard about a man who was allegedly assaulted by an uber driver, he demanded a list from uber of all its drivers with disqualifying records.doug dean:"frankly we were shocked with what we

found."the list doug dean got from uber included 12 uber drivers convicted of felonies, and others with d-u-i's or driving on suspended licenses. drew griffin:"what does that tell you about the background process?" doug dean:"it tells me that the background process as it is in law right now doesn't work."according to uber, the company's policy disqualifies drivers convicted of felonies, violent crimes and sexual offenses.as well as major driving violations.yet in case after case, convicted felons have been approved to drive anyway.in marylan california and massachusetts, government agencies did additional screening and found what add up to thousands of drivers, with disqualifying criminal records, even sexual offenders, approved to work for uber.in texas, approved uber drivers included a murderer on parole, and a convicted felon once accused, though not convicted, of seeking to smuggle rocket launchers into the middle east. he is now sentenced to 25 years for sexually assaulting a passenger.uber sexual

assault victims like this woman say uber must improve how it screens drivers.jane doe/sexual assault victim"if they really want to put themselves out there as the safe ride home, they should really make sure that they are putting these people out there that are getting you home safely."uber's response to the problems in its background checks is the company has made graphic:"significant investments and improvements" andgraphic:"will continue to work with state and local governments to get it right in the future."to conduct its background checks, uber and lyft both use a company called chekr,which uses a potential driver's name and social security number to search federal, state and local courts and other databases for disqualifying records. regulators tell c-n-n that is not enough, and that government-run background checks that include fingerprinting potential drivers would go further in discovering histories of violence.but uber says fingerprints don't offer a complete picture of arrests and convictions.and uber has gone to great lengths to fight

any government-run checks.matt daus:"that's their game plan in every single city, every single state. we're gonna get a law passed that's just for us. it's their own special law for uber and lyft."a c-n-n investigation tallied more than 400 lobbyists across the country, hired by uber, mostly to fight stricter oversight, in many states even writing the laws.c-n-n's investigation reviewed all 43 states that have laws or rules on driver background checks, and they are strikingly similar.all but massachusetts leave background checks up to and in 31 laws passed reflect uber's recommended wording on driver screening, in ( marty )up next... we tell you how more schools are using therapy dogs... to help students with anxiety and confidence issues.

(dave)slight cooling is expected near the coast on sunday, but inland areas will remain much warmer than normal through the end of the weekend. temperatures will cool back down to seasonal averages early next week as an upper trough arrives along the west coast. we're so lucky in the bay area. we've got the coast, we've got wine country, tahoe. but if you're in the mood to roll down the windows and try something new, mammoth lakes should be on your radar. neighbor to well-known yosemite, this time of year tioga pass (highway 120) is open and you can drive through the park to take in some sights along the way like half dome from olmsted point. stretch your legs, enjoy the view, meet a marmot. but know there's plenty more to see.

like bodie. or the impressive remains of bodie. at one point this gold-mining ghost town was home to nearly 10-thousand residents. it became a california state park in 1962. you'll see houses from the 1870s, gas pumps from the 1920s, and the school that was used up until 1942. everything's been left as it was. books in the schoolhouse are collecting dust, and math problems are still on the chalkboards. buildings are repaired and stabilized, but nor restored.let's get to some water, because there's lots of it to see. mono lake is more than 70 square miles, but with water two-and-a-half times saltier than the ocean, there's no fish, just teeny, tiny brine shrimp and alkali (al-kah-lie) flies. but you most likely won't notice either, because you won't be able to take your eyes off of the tufa (too-fah) towers. the rock is formed when calcium- rich fresh water percolates from underwater springs along

the bottom of the lake, and mixes the lake water. they're essentially calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. follow the trail in the south tufa area, and you'll feel like you're exploring another planet.if you're hesitant to explore on your own, mammoth all weather shuttle runs a number of tours that cover spots like mono lake and bodie. (for tour figure $139 depending on number of people.) and, that's kind of a theme in mammoth lakes. this is the hot creek geological site. volcanic vents make this beautiful blue water boil.. but it's a whole different story in the nearby lower or middle stretch of the river.if you've never been fly fishing, this catch and release spot is where you give it a go. i spent the morning with a local guide named scott flint. i learned about fish, and

apparently the ones here are very, very smart. i also learned more than i ever imagined about the bugs these fish love to eat. with lots of guidance, even i had success. but truthfully, it doesn't matter if you catch anything, just being there, taking in the scenery is a win. and this isn't a wading river, you stand on shore, so you won't even get wet.mammoth lakes offers more than a dozen miles of paved bike trails, making cycling a great way to see the sights. the lakes basin path is loaded with scenery, especially this time of year. the lakes are coming back to life after the winter. waterfalls are flowing. you can hop on the path in town and it'll lead you up and into the scenery. and, yes, i did say up. there are some hills. if you're looking for less of a workout, no worries. we cheated and rented electric bikes from wave rave, a local shop in town. there's also a free trolley that you and your

bike can use for the trip up.

over how uber screens its drivers. this, after an investigation found many uber drivers who passed background checks have been

convicted of crimes. drew griffin reports. when colorado's public safety commissioner heard about a man who was allegedly assaulted by an uber driver, he demanded a list from uber of all its drivers with disqualifying records.doug dean:"frankly we were shocked with what we found."the list doug dean got from uber included 12 uber drivers convicted of felonies, and others with d-u-i's or driving on suspended licenses. drew griffin:"what does that tell you about the background process?" doug dean:"it tells me that the background process as it is in law right now doesn't work."according to uber, the company's policy disqualifies drivers convicted of felonies, violent crimes and sexual offenses.as well as major driving violations.yet in case after case, convicted felons have been approved to drive anyway.in maryland, california and massachusetts, government agencies did additional screening and found what add up to thousands of drivers, with disqualifying criminal records, even sexual offenders, approved to work for uber.in texas, approved uber drivers included a murderer on parole, and a convicted felon once accused, though not convicted, of seeking to smuggle rocket launchers into the middle east.

he is now sentenced to 25 years for sexually assaulting a passenger.uber sexual assault victims like this woman say uber must improve how it screens drivers.jane doe/sexual assault victim"if they really want to put themselves out there as the safe ride home, they should really make sure that they are putting these people out there that are getting you home safely."uber's response to the problems in its background checks is the company has made graphic:"significant investments and improvements" andgraphic:"will continue to work with state and local governments to get right in the future."to conduct its background checks, uber and lyft both use a company called chekr,which uses a potential driver's name and social security number to search federal, state and local courts and other databases for disqualifying records. regulators tell c-n-n that is not enough, and that government-run background checks that include fingerprinting potential drivers would go further in discovering histories of violence.but uber says fingerprints don't offer a complete picture of arrests and convictions.and uber has gone to great lengths to fight any government-run checks.matt

we're so lucky in the bay area. we've got the coast, we've got wine country, tahoe. but if you're in the mood to roll down the windows and try something new, mammoth lakes should be on your radar. neighbor to well-known yosemite, this time of year tioga pass (highway 120) is open and you can drive through

the park to take in some sights along the way like half dome from olmsted point. stretch your legs, enjoy the view, meet a marmot. but know there's plenty more to see. like bodie. or the impressive remains of bodie. at one point this gold-mining ghost town was home to nearly 10-thousand residents. it became a california state park in 1962. you'll see houses from the 1870s, gas pumps from the 1920s, and the school that was used up until 1942. everything's been left as it was. books in the schoolhouse are collecting dust, and math problems are still on the chalkboards. buildings are repaired and stabilized, but nor restored.let's get to some water, because there's lots of

it to see. mono lake is more than 70 square miles, but with water two-and-a-half times saltier than the ocean, there's no fish, just teeny, tiny brine shrimp and alkali (al-kah-lie) flies. but you most likely won't notice either, because you won't be able to take your eyes off of the tufa (too-fah) towers. the rock is formed when calcium- rich fresh water percolates from underwater springs along the bottom of the lake, and mixes the lake water. they're essentially calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. follow the trail in the south tufa area, and you'll feel like you're exploring another planet.if you're hesitant to

explore on your own, mammoth all weather shuttle runs a number of tours that cover spots like mono lake and bodie. (for tour figure $139 depending on number of people.) and, that's kind of a theme in mammoth lakes. this is the hot creek geological site. volcanic vents make this beautiful blue water boil.. but it's a whole different story in the nearby lower or middle stretch of the river.if you've never been fly fishing, this catch and release spot is where you give it a go. i spent the morning with a local guide named scott flint. i learned about fish, and apparently the ones here are

very, very smart. i also learned more than i ever imagined about the bugs these fish love to eat. with lots of guidance, even i had success. but truthfully, it doesn't matter if you catch anything, just being there, taking in the scenery is a win. and this isn't a wading river, you stand on shore, so you won't even get wet.mammoth lakes offers more than a dozen miles of paved bike trails, making cycling a great way to see the sights. the lakes basin path is loaded with scenery, especially this time of year. the lakes are coming back to life after the winter. waterfalls are flowing. you can hop on the path in town and it'll lead you up and into the scenery. and, yes, i did

say up. there are some hills. if you're looking for less of a workout, no worries. we cheated and rented electric bikes from wave rave, a local there's also a free trolley that you and your bike can use for the trip up.

knew they were tied.will he live that down? well who knows, but that overtime is all the warriors needed to push ahead and win the game by ten points.there was much more drama then just that but as steph curry says it's all about game two tonight -- he says he's soaking up every minute of this road to the championship.take sot:game two starts tonight at five.tickets are always available on the warriors dot com site.i saw the most expensive ticket was 30-thousand dollars in the v-i-p courtside section, and the least expensive is in the nose bleeds for nearly 400 dollars.

word.this email from an uber lobbyist to a wyoming lawmaker shows just how influential uber can be.

we're so lucky in the bay area. we've got the coast, we've got wine country, tahoe. but if you're in the mood to roll down the windows and try something new, mammoth lakes should be on your radar. neighbor to well-known

yosemite, this time of year tioga pass (highway 120) is open and you can drive through the park to take in some sights along the way like half dome from olmsted point. stretch your legs, enjoy the view, meet a marmot. but know there's plenty more to see. like bodie. or the impressive remains of bodie. at one point this gold-mining ghost town was home to nearly 10-thousand residents. it became a california state park in 1962. you'll see houses from the 1870s, gas pumps from the 1920s, and the school that was used up until 1942. everything's been left as it was. books in the schoolhouse are collecting dust, and math problems are still on the chalkboards. buildings are repaired and stabilized, but nor restored.let's get to some water, because there's lots of it to see. mono lake is more than 70 square miles, but with

water two-and-a-half times saltier than the ocean, there's no fish, just teeny, tiny brine shrimp and alkali (al-kah-lie) flies. but you most likely won't notice either, because you won't be able to take your eyes off of the tufa (too-fah) towers. the rock is formed when calcium- rich fresh water percolates from underwater springs along the bottom of the lake, and mixes the lake water. they're essentially calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. follow the trail in the south tufa area, and you'll feel like you're exploring another planet.if you're hesitant to explore on your own, mammoth all weather shuttle runs a number of tours that cover spots like mono lake and bodie. (for tour figure $139 depending on number of people.) and, that's kind of a theme in

mammoth lakes. this is the hot creek geological site. volcanic vents make this beautiful blue water boil.. but it's a whole different story in the nearby lower or middle stretch of the river.if you've never been fly fishing, this catch and release spot is where you give it a go. i spent the morning with a local guide named scott flint. i learned about fish, and apparently the ones here are very, very smart. i also learned more than i ever imagined about the bugs these fish love to eat. with lots of guidance, even i had success. but truthfully, it doesn't matter if you catch anything, just being there, taking in the scenery is a win. and this isn't a wading river, you stand on shore, so you won't even get wet.mammoth lakes offers more than a dozen miles of paved bike trails, making cycling a great way to see the

sights. the lakes basin path is loaded with scenery, especially this time of year. the lakes are coming back to life after the winter. waterfalls are flowing. you can hop on the path in town and it'll ad into the scenery.and, yes, i did say up. there are some hills. if you're looking for less of a workout, no worries. we cheated and rented electric bikes from wave rave, a local shop in town. there's also a free trolley that you and your bike can use for the trip up.
