[ gunshots ] >> it later shows him firing eight shots as he fled. today's scott brother said it is more than a black and white issue. >> i wouldn't say it's just an african-american thing. it would also be a minority thing. it would be a racial profiling type of thing.

as they're made in public, are proper, lawful and yours meaning you can do whatever you want with them. smart phones give the average person the ability to record video everywhere. from one in south carolina that's made headlines this week to one in san josi last august. and then there was an officer-involved shooting yesterday. alvaro camilo said he was recording. >> they needed it for an investigation. >> reporter: in that incident, an officer identified today as a 13-year veteran shot and killed a man. they do not intend to make the video public since it's considered evidence. >> but the police say, well we're not going to show it to anybody as evidence. i have concerns about that. because i don't think that lack of responsiveness is going to help build trust in the process.

>> reporter: the judge with the independent police auditor for the city of san josi says at least in her jurisdiction the rules about these kind of videos are spelled out in their duty manual. >> they can ask you can we have the phone so we can download what you have. and you can either consent sure, or you can say, no i'm not going to give you the phone in which case they cannot sees you. >> reporter: a slew of new apps are designed for these kind of situations. one called cop watch will up load your video automatically to youtube. another one up loads directly to the aclu. the goal to get the video out of your hand as quickly as possible. >> so the purpose of having it live upload is to eliminate the chance that the phone could be destroyed, damaged or the evidence could be removed from that phone. >> reporter: the judge says police can ask for a warrant for a video and often emailing it without handing over your device is good enough and the videos can be a valuable tool. >> that video in your phone is

your property. that's your property. so the police have no right to tell you you can't show it to anybody, put it on youtube. that's your right. >> reporter: the judge believes smart phones have changed policing forever. she's also a big proponent of police body cameras which she says can offer an extra perspective and also an extra layer of transparency. >> yes. definitely something to think about given that these videos have become so crucial in a lot of investigations. ann, thank you. a new analysis by the associated press finds that many veteran affairs hospital in california are not meeting the department timeliness goals. california has 61 va hospitals. about 60% are seeing patients within the 30-day goal, but that means about 40% are not. the va hospital in sacramento has the most delays for appointments. officials there say they're hiring more doctors, nurses and staff to try to keep up with demands. student health doctors at university of california

the homeless from unfair discrimination. san francisco's supervisor says the bill, which was proposed by a southern california lawmaker, is not an appropriate option for san francisco. >> this law would legalize people to pitching tents on sidewalks or in parks. and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. and i think most people would agree that that's not okay. >> the bill is currently in a senate committee where changes to it can be made. evaluating the damage. the new information tonight about the environmental impact of a concrete fill in a bakery. plus trespassing at the airport. the pattern they see and the people that try to break? >> and it wasn't the meeting this man was planning to attend and he wasn't dressed for it. just how he landed in this private meeting with the president. plus i'm tracking the warmup. it's going to be warmer as we get close to the weekend.
