California lawmakers are trying to cut down retail theft across the state. One of the areas theyre targeting is the Self Checkout option, but some are worried this will hurt businesses. Abc seven News Reporter Tara Campbell tells us more about the proposed state law. The familiar sights and sounds of Self Checkout. But i like Self Checkout because its convenient, its fast. Whether a fan or not, changes could be coming down the line. The hope is that we can reduce the amount of theft that happens. Thats a much better solution than punishing theft after it occurs. The Prosecutors Alliance of california getting behind senate bill 1446. The bill would regulate Self Checkouts in hopes of boosting employment and cutting down on thefts. Theres data on this that shows there is theft that happens at Self Checkouts. If voted into law, grocery and pharmacy retailers would have to meet certain requirements or get rid of Self Checkouts, including upping the number of employees monitoring the stations. One of the main deterrents from theft is that there are staff paying attention in the store to your activities. In part, its codifying, you know, some requirements that that i think from our perspective, are a little heavy handed as far as you know, getting down into the granularity of how a business or a store needs to operate the California Chamber of commerce coming out against the proposed legislation saying it could hurt business. For example, the grocery space where they are operating on pretty thin margins, you know, when youre having to make these drastic adjustments or adjust staffing ratios, that can be a big cost impact. The bottom line a concern among shoppers to, are we as a consumer going to have to pay for that, to take it down and redo it or whatever is decided . I understand the concern for theft. Id be concerned, though, that if Grocery Stores were required to staff more checkout aisles, that that would be a huge cost increase for them, and theyd pass that cost to on customers.

Were learning more about a plan to create an entertainment zone. The area would be located in the financial district on front street between california and sacramento streets. Local restaurants and bars would be able to sell alcohol during outdoor events. As abc seven News Reporter luz pena explains, it would be funded by a new grant program. Thousands of people in downtown San Francisco having fun. This was the scene during the citys downtown first thursday event, a scene they want to repeat more often in the financial district, with designated areas called entertainment zones. Were changing everything thing to yes. Not only are we saying yes to opportunities to have nightlife and entertainment and to close down streets, we are actually proposing legislation to waive those fees that people get charged to close down streets. The mayor is proposing to designate front street between california street and sacramento street as the citys First Entertainment zone. San francisco is authorized to create these zones under sb 76, a bill authored by senator scott wiener. Until this year, it was completely illegal in california for bars and restaurants to ever sell onto the street in a street festival, so we have now given San Francisco the ability to create these entertainment zones by turning this block of front street into an entertainment zone is still not a done deal. The board of supervisors will have to hopefully pass it. The new coowner of harringtons bar and grill is hoping for the mayors proposal to pass. He says its pivotal to reenergize the area. Its not just about capturing the people, getting people to come back to work. Its also about bringing people to downtown from all over the bay area to make it easier for entertainment zones to happen here. Mayor breed is also offering 500,000 to provide grants for events and activities. With that half 1 million, we can fund between 10 to 20 events and activations. As robbie silver, executive director of the downtown San Francisco partnership, says, this proposal will bring the boost they need to turn downtown into a destination for the entire bay area. Seeing it 22 uh new bars and restaurants open in the downtown, and this is significant to the financial district in San Francisco.

Not so happy that that will be canceled because its going to be a good soaking. In fact, its really not going to exit the north bay until maybe about 1 00. And then those fields and everything pretty wet. Maybe you can play on the pavement there, but by sunday everything is absorbed even by later on today. But look at that cold pool of air and a cold front that is pushing into Northern California. This isoing to progress to the south and east throughout the day today, bringing unseasonably cold air. And as we get you set into a live doppler, seven, right now, you can see from sea ranch to fort ross and some of the heavy rain. Guerneville, bodega bay and out towards healdsburg. So it is on the move. Sinking to the south. Here we are in novato, a southern marin county, and pushing over into napa and fairfield. So everyone getting a little bit of light rain right now, even San Francisco down through the peninsula. And then well get into the heavier rain with the passage of the cold front. That looks about 9 00 or so. 55 in oakland, right now it is 53 in santa rosa. And look how murky that looks out there. Looks like a january day. So a rainy start, much cooler. And looking at tomorrow morning pretty chilly as well as your monday morning. But were going to recover nicely and look at temperatures steadily warming throughout the workweek. Heres a look at the winds. You can expect the winds to accompany the front the gusty winds. So 6 00 notice that theyre mainly along the coast, but as the front pushes through right here, youll notice winds up to 30 miles an hour. And then behind it we have the northwesterly winds. And the winds really stay elevated throughout the day. So even by about 5 00 we get those northwesterly winds keeping it awfully cold out there. Heres the timing of it. So just beginning right now, 7 00, you can see the heaviest rain up in the north bay. And then throughout the 9 00 hour, it pushes into the east bay, the peninsula there across San Francisco, by late in the morning, and as we get towards 10 00, its still raining pretty good. Its not going to be till about 12 1 00, where we begin to see a few peeks of sun, but then there are scattered showers behind the system and by 2 00 it is still raining in parts of the east bay and south bay. Its going to be about 3 00, so it moves through rather quickly and we have snow to accompany the system as well. Rainfall amounts anywhere from about a half inch to an inch around the santa cruz mountains. Look at San Francisco. This is a whole days. This day rain is a whole months worth in may, so we should see about a half inch to an inch for the entire month of may. So certainly above average with the rain for may and looking at our winter storm warning until 8 00 on sunday, there is a look at the snowfall anywhere from two feet at kirkwood, ten inches tahoe city.

Chuck sivertsen abc news, new york closer to home now a new ruling from the california Supreme Court could have a big impact on how police do their jobs. Community groups say its an important step to prevent overpolicing, but some Police Unions say its going to make it harder for officers to actually do their jobs. Abc seven News Reporter anser hassan explains why a new ruling by the california Supreme Court may change how Police Interact with the public. I think its a very important decision, soojungkim is a managing attorney at the San Francisco public defenders office. She says with this ruling, the Supreme Court of california is finally recognizing instances of overpolicing, especially in communities of color, for, you know, innocent behavior. For just being in the a certain neighborhood, and characterized as, criminal, the court is finding it, acknowledged that fact on thursday, the court ruled to restrict grounds under which police can stop and hold people for questioning. It stems from the case. The people versus marlon flores. The only thing he did was he was standing by a car at night, you know, in an area that the police deemed to be high crime area and would not was seeming to avoid Police Interaction. The court ruled that police cant detain someone on the street just because that person tries to avoid contact with them in her opinion, associate Justice Carol corrigan writes, before an officer can compel compliance with the show of authority, articulable facts must support a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. In the absence of such facts, the person is constitutionally protected and empowered to go on his or her way in an email to abc seven news, tracie mccray, president of the San Francisco Police Officers association, writes, this is another example of californias criminal Justice System working to protect criminals, she writes, observing the actions of those we encounter is a critical part of police work and has never been grounds alone for an arrest. Obviously, Police Officers do have a lot of discretion on the streets. They still do have a lot of leeway. Theres a lot of ways that you can interpret reasonable suspicion. Doctor Francis Ramos is with Communities United for restorative youth justice or courage. Shes encouraged by the Supreme Courts ruling, especially because, as she points out, a routine police stop can quickly escalate into a pat down or detention. We are going up against somebody who is armed and who we have seen has the full support of the state behind them in terms of treating the average person.

Nchs officials tell abc seven the deadline was strict and no changes would be made. While the swimmers were disappointed to not compete, they are receiving support from other schools in the area. Its a its a program for the athletes, and i think that it just doesnt make any sense to not let them swim like they had nothing to do with this. I dont think its fair to punish them for it. The ncs Mission Statement is we do this for the athletes. Like this is all for the athletes. I think that if their values really aligned with that Mission Statement, then they would have fixed this by then. Parents and athletes are calling for a new model with a deadline to submit names and a grace period to fix any entry errors. All right.

If they were at home and you can see a lot going on, not only do we have a late season cold front, but a cold pool of cold air. That front, hillsborough down through guerneville and bodega bay, and it will steadily sink to the south and sweep through the bay area throughout the Morning Hours in the early afternoon. So the rain filling in in the east bay from albany to san ramon, San Francisco, it has been light. It will pick up throughout the Morning Hours. And then when the cold front pushes through, we get the gusty winds, the heavy downpours and then behind it the northwesterly winds and a few isolated showers. 55 in vallejo, 54, santa rosa, 56 there in san jose and a dark and gray look outside. So today its a rainy start. Much cooler. And then by about 9 00, the rain is going to be pushing into the south bay and the east bay, so its going to get heavier as the morning progresses. And then behind it we have the cold air sunday morning, monday morning and then next week dry and warmer, more like you would expect for may. Heres a look at the winds. Southwesterly winds ahead of it. And by about 9 00 look how gusty it gets. And thats when the cold front is trying to push through parts of San Francisco in the east bay. 2 00 it is still hung up in the south bay, but is clearing the north bay. But then the north winds northwesterly winds really get going for the 4 or 5 00 hour. So its a breezy, cold, raw day out there with only highs in the 50s. So 7 00 heres the way its going to look with the heaviest rain. Well to the north 9 00 theres that narrow band, that cold front that pushes through and will get the heavier rain with it. This is 10 00 and it begins to exit marine county, but really not till about 11 and 12. And then by 2 00 raining, still pretty good. San ramon down through san jose. Gilroy san martin and then the evenings quiet, maybe a few leftover light showers, rainfall amounts. They have been anywhere from three quarters of an inch to about an inch around ben loman. There and the snow. It comes down throughout the evening hours and early tomorrow morning. The winter storm warning expires. So this is above 5000ft where were going to pick up about two feet of snow around kirkwood, maybe two feet close to that around donner. And you can see from blue canyon 18in highs today. Then the front has moved through 3 00. And youll notice that weve got a mixture of clouds and sun, spotty light showers, uh could see more rain linger throughout the two 3 00 hour in the south bay.
