this morning when the police moved in. we are monitoring the situation and two of the arrests were for aggravated assault on a police officer. we will take a quick break from our breaking news coverage and move on to weather. good morning then. >>reporter: good morning justin, i feel for everyone out there. it is a very cold morning outside this is the walnut creek camera, it is clear, is the only reason we are able to see the headlights coming down highway 24. we have some freezing temperatures this morning and this afternoon can expect similar conditions to what we had yesterday. it will be sunny but very cool. we can expect in a the clear and cool evening tonight as well. maybe not quite as cold as we had this morning in the morning before that but cold nonetheless. we have a freeze warning in effect until 9:00 a.m.. this is mostly affecting the delta area. >>reporter: take a look to your current temperatures. >>reporter: here are your high temperatures very similar to yesterday. >>reporter: here is your kron4 seven day

i know the police department believes they can do this faster or more efficiently. i found there were instances where officers have been defiant about whether they gathered stock data or not. the captain who exempted his unit from certain responsibility, and i think it is important that there be another set five years other than the police department to determine whether there has been and neglect of duty. the other thing i did point out is that whenever a complaint comes to our office, we send that in the form of report, and now the police department knows 38% of neglected duty it sustained findings were for failure to collect stock data. the department attend determine whether or not officers are complying with responsibility. as i have heard from both sides about the allegations, and it is my understanding when there is a need for investigation said the actual investigation is done by the police department because they have access to information you do not have access to. what's the police department has access to all dassn't -- >> the police department have acces

the police department would then through a state receive revenues. we ofte-- to real estate receive revenues. the jurisdiction move facilitates leasing or sales. think of this as an interim step. we will often put that in an mou so there is a clear understanding between real estate and the police department if there are funds, this is how we would handle that matter. secondarily, should this non- profit venture not pan out, and we agree collectively to move forward with a sale, as part of the board of supervisors approval of the sale, the board would also need to adopt an ordinance which allows the funds to flow to the home department. in this case, the police department. i will use that example of the fire department sale. if there is a surplus property ordinance which currently states that any sales of surplus property, the proceeds need to go to affordable housing first unless the board of supervisors directed otherwise. we would work jointly with the chief to formulate a communication to the board seeking those funds not in this case going to affo

in the area of policy analysis to present quarterly recommendations to enhance police regulations, the attorney continued to lead the charge in about work. the main policy matters and worked on during the third quarter were a police response to a mental health crisis and in the juvenile area. the occ was the subject of a scathing comptroller' augusdit n 2007. now the comptroller pointed out 41 areas to address. the occ was notified during the third quarter the comptroller's audit would be doing a follow- up. we notified about the report. there were three but we were unable to address, and we were unable to address those because we do not have financial resources to do so. recommendation #two and requires them to complete the investigations within nine months or 10 months at the latest. they never reached close to 100% compliance. the occ has been historically understaffed. caseload is 16 cases per investigator, yet investigators had an average of 31 cases. in order to reduce caseloads, our analysis is that those cc would need the following at a cost of $1 million. your 18177, attorney,

what did the police response was i think very slow certainly in the first couple of days the police literally didn't know what to do they turned up at a scene where people had set fire to cars or to shops along the street they would charge an inverse numbers and then not knowing what to do when they got there they would retreat and as for. as for the government so much of the government was on holiday of course because they go on holiday notice a prime minister david cameron eventually came back from his holiday as did the him secretary and the matter of london boris johnson and essentially told people what no teach children they were being and how they had to go back to school and let's do something the media blamed it on a sort of something for nothing mentality but eventually it's come out really the other people's sort is a symptom of deeper ills in society the fact that you services have been cut and that the relationship between young people young black people particularly and the police is very bad and i was talking to some people on the street here tonight actually he was saying that

the stories from our clients about police misconduct are commonplace. everything from a disregard for the fourth amendment, theft, perjury, and the stories -- when you hear them over and over -- there becomes a real ring of truth to them, a consistency that makes it impossible for us, as attorneys, hearing the stories to dismiss them out of hand. the videos are not the first time that misconduct has ever happened. they are just the first time for us. let me use the henry hotel incident as a case study. let's go out and amassed a bunch of videos. which is basically did our job to clients. the residents of the hotel told us what the police officer said was not what happens. we trusted them. we looked at the henry hotel. we got video from december 23. and lo and behold, every word of what our clients were telling us were true. two four two. the videos are just a small sample of what some would say is clearly a culture or pattern. and i do want to say that even in my short tenure as defense attorney, i agree with stuart. there are so many good officers, but

, but the perpetrator may be gone on arrival or may be able to top police into believing that the victim should be arrested -- may be able to talk police into believing that the victim should be arrested. this is a strategy that is used all the time in abusive relationships, particularly when the victim is an immigrant. scom keeps all that in place. it keeps silence in the community. i am afraid it has a chilling effect in all our communities. our homicide rates are down 80% regarding domestic violence, and i am so concerned this policy will stop that trend. are brought paper work for you. thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. next speaker please. >> [speaking spanish] >> good afternoon. i am representing the san francisco bay labor program. we are also here supporting this resolution. we need your support at this moment. please remember that san francisco is a sanctuary city. -- representing the san francisco day labor program. >> hi. good afternoon. my name is cesar garcia.

it was the california police chiefs association. i spent 21 years in the city of torrance in southern california before coming up here, a city of to under 50,000, about 350 personnel. -- 250,000, about 350 personnel. much smaller organization. completely different type of agency. but one of the things we found was to my career and particularly at the beginning, there was really no classis% -- classes pe se, and we started a course on how to be a successful chief. a very strong component of that was an ethics, and what is the chief's responsibility within their department relating to at the experience included in that, it had to do with the abuse of power and misconduct. i was -- i guess you could say "a whistle-blower." i put together a case in which three officers i have worked with had been nearly to deaf a game and what they were off duty. -- nearly two -- to death a gain man -- a gay man when they were off duty. i dealt with the consequences for many years. it was very lonely in that position. very lonely getting death threats. v

this is all in the computer. policecan say we want to find out more about x, so consult the data base, see if this is an indication he was speeded in the last 28 days. >> it's not very lard for police to follow someone with a traffic violation if they want to do that, but to answer in part justice breyer's earlier concern about limiting principles, this court recognized that although the fourth amendment is not a restriction on discriminatory, arbitrary, or oppressive stops based on characteristics, the equal protection clause is. the amendment stands as protection if this court believes there's an excessive chill created by a law or universal practice of monitoring people through gps. there's other institutional principles -- >> but the fourth amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures and trying to explain to someone, here's the fourth amendment. the fourth amendment says, or it's interpreted to mean if i'm on a public bus, and the police want to feel my luggage, that's a violation, and yet this

there's the police corruption is. what a protester nobody seems to know. but never a pepper spray to the face but more of the argument that they're being overly dramatic. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here so you saw the part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry for the big picture. protests escalate in the u.k. millions taking part today in a strike they're protesting slashes the public sector pensions over thirty labor unions from public health the tax collection have joined the movement much of the country now at a fanfare left thousands of schools shut down employees at the airport walkout are the correspondent laura smith is on the ground and london. it started with twenty thousand people out on the streets of london process to get caught in the public sector pensions and it ended like this a small group of processes from the ok by the london stock exchange treatment have reportedly poky pike this building behind me it seems that

he's running. >> because the police are busy with our earlier suspect in the backyard, they can't catch larios before he speeds away in his $50,000 lexus. so an undercover police car follows him down the block. just around the corner, larios is pulled over by a squad car and gives up peacefully. >> we're code four on the stop. one in custody. >> he's arrested and brought to the processing center. he refuses to give the police any information without his attorney present. >> first, i need to know exactly what's going on. >> larios and walker were both charged with one count of an attempted lewd act on a child. walker pleaded no contest. larios faces an additional charge of attempting to send harmful matter. he pleaded guilty to both charges. a lit -- a bit later on, the police bringing in someone hon never made it in the house. >> where do you want this gentleman? he is 32-year-old gabor nagy. a waiter at a pizza restaurant who had a sexually explicit chat with someone who told him she was 12. he drove past as another suspect was being arrested in front of the house. that's when police t

i am here to send out a notion to the chief of police. you may not know about the african-american migration report. i am the self-appointed czar. i am the only reporter that put together this task force. i'm calling upon those determined to be part of a focus committee which is going to ask those to adhere to the african- american migration report. it said most of the african- americans left the city because of the relationship with the police department. yes, we do have problems with some rogue police officers. i am not saying the entire police department is corrupt, but a lot of them are corrupt. one thing we want to fix first is the relationship with african-americans. i have years of them beating me down because of reporting and that kind of thing. discrimination is at its highest in this racist city in san francisco. i want to know who is control in san francisco. i know they say they are in control, but we do not know who is in control. i ask commissioners to join our focus groups. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> my name is ph

[applause] >> thank you for giving my closing comments from me. i would like to thank the public defender's office for providing the public and anybody he wants to come to this forum, hearing from these experts, and they help you take away some good things from this -- and i hope you take away some good things you take away some good things from this panel. >> so many people here. this is the third and final panel for those of you who have stayed. this is going to be an incredible discussion. leading the panel, this is the chief attorney of the public defender's office, matt go
