for the next two months, right? to see how we handle these high profile events. >> san francisco left the joint terrorism task force in 2017 as president trump took office for his first term due to concerns that it could infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens. the po says now it's up to city leaders to determine the path forward. a supervisor in san francisco has a new plan that he says will address the city's drug crisis. the program, he hopes, would get drug users off the streets, provide them treatment and reduce drug dealing. ktvu zac sos spoke with the supervisor behind the plan and shows us why some groups are coming out in opposition. >> what we're facing is a level of public drug use and drug addiction and drug markets that's unlike anything that we have seen before. >> san francisco supervisor matt dorsey, calling on several city agencies, including police, to help come up with a plan to step up arrests of drug users. dorsey says new laws on the books, including proposition 36, have

opened the door to treatment mandated felonies. >> now, obviously, if we're going to make an arrest, it should be a life saving intervention. we should make sure that there's medically assisted treatment and medication and opportunities for recovery available. >> the san francisco public health department, fire department, sheriff's office and district attorney's office also being asked to weigh in on his letter of inquiry. >> what we need is a coordinated strategy. what we know is right now, there are 200 people who are going to be engaging in illegal drug use on a quarter mile stretch of sixth street tonight. >> in response, the san francisco aids foundation, which provides substance abuse counseling and operates harm reduction sites in the city, including the distribution of clean syringes, narcan and drug testing strips coming out against the plan. in a statement, foundation ceo tyler tamir saying in part, quote, reports of an initiative advocating for mass arrests along the sixth street corridor as a pathway to treatment or detox are deeply concerning and

counterproductive. decades of research have shown that criminalizing people for their health conditions or circumstances perpetuates harm, rather than fosters recovery. forced treatment under the threat of incarceration undermines trust in health services. >> i would challenge them to show me the studies. i think what people tend to show when they look at these studies, they're looking at studies that are showing that people who don't have severe substance use disorders. >> dorsey pointing out that he's approaching the problem as someone who once struggled with substance abuse himself. >> this made politics personal to me in a way that it had never been personal before. and right now, i feel like there's a lot of people from the recovery community who are joining with me in saying, we have to do something about the scale of public drug use that's going on in our city. >> in san francisco, zac sos, ktvu, fox two news. >> new at 11 a man has been arrested for illegally making and selling guns. the contra costa county sheriff says 27 year old diego vazquezgomez

with the former restaurant owner, patrick abshire, who who owned pizza pirate for 30 years, but he was forced to sell it in september because of financial problems. >> very disappointed and frustrated and depressed because, you know, this was my life for 30 years and i really wasn't ready to move on from it for a few more years till i could retire. >> the suspect has already made bail. the solano county district attorney's office will now review the case to determine any formal charges for allegedly cooking the books. former 49ers star dana stubblefield will have to wait two more weeks to learn if he'll be released from prison. stubblefield was scheduled to appear in court today, but his hearing was delayed after a judge refused to hear his case due to disagreements over who has jurisdiction. a state appellate court tossed out stubblefield's 22. excuse me, 2020 rape conviction last week, the court ruled that santa clara county prosecutors violated the

california racial justice act when they said stubblefield's race was a factor in the decision by law enforcement officers to not search his house. >> it's a procedural issue. this has no reflection on the merits of what's left. i mean, the appellate court was loud and clear and said there is no valid conviction, and we believe there is. there was more errors in this trial than us professionally we've ever seen. >> stubblefield is now scheduled to appear in court january 17th. we're learning new information about a deadly plane crash in southern california. coming up actions the pilot made shortlyhe before the incident. >> plus, she's hitting that exact 50 over 50% cap mortality rate that we see a whale coming off the coast of washington state making headlines once again, several years after she was spotted carrying her calf's corpse. >> and the highest ranking california senator announces his
