pulled a scared straight stunt and the incident was captured on video and shown across the country. theresa, what's that decision? >> that the officer did not violate the law. this is a nationally publicized case. the debate was it the parenting lesson versus the possible abuse of police power. but in the ice of the santa clara district attorney's office they decided he did not violate the law when he handcuffed and took into temporary custody a boy that he learned had sex with the officer's 14-year-old stepdaughter. part of the arrest was secretly recorded on video by the boy's father. during the august 30th confrontation, the officer showed up in uniform at the end of his shift. the debate is whether he violated law or department policy. the boys' parents say they thought the officer came to arrest their son and never gave permission to use scared straight tactics, handcuffing him him, riding in the cruiser. under the institutions code the officer had the authority to take a minor into temporary custody if there's reasonable cause to believe a criminal offense was committed. this case unlawful sexual intercourse. the police department criminally cited both teens for underaged sex. while the officer is not facing criminal charges he remains on paid administration leave and deciding whether the conduct violated policy. if so there could be discipline ranging from extra training to actually termination. and meanwhile the department is drafting a new policy that would prohibit officers from getting involved in cases with their family members. live in san jose

before rain drenches vineyards. storms are expected to dump an inch or more of rain by monday. the rains are a problem because grapes are ripening a couple weeks later than usual because of a cool summer. they hope to get 70% of the grapes harvested by tonight. they say the thin-skinned grapes such as chardonnay are particularly vulnerable. >> what good for our lawns is bad for the grapes. >> i know, i know. seems like they've had trouble every single year recently. >> do they? >> the rains just keep falling this weekend. >> all about timing with that harvest. fall and two weeks later it

party with a leader. but several tea party-backed candidates such as cheryl engel in nevada, joe in alaska agree on a key position like making permanent the bush tax cuts, repealing what happened in march and the irs and the department of education. when tea party candidates were knocking off establishing candidates in republican primaries, they were seen as a headache by the party leaders in washington. now they're a key step in the gop's path in winning back the majority. two years ago barack obama rode into the white house on a wave of change. today the tea party has that. the news poll found that 55% of americans said that the tea party can bring about major change in the way the government operates. >> voters sort of ascribe what their notion of change is on to these candidates. >>

nonprofit group that runs the san francisco gay pride parade has now resigned. many say the resignation of amy andre was sparked by what may have been an accounting error. the larger pride

is at least $99,000 in debt. two city supervisors have now stepped in to help organize the books while the group searches for a new leader. >> it's going to be a long time before the bay area bounces

warming are focusing on the arctic because its effects are expected there first. >> 5:16 now. it's been amazing to watch some of those big ice floes just break off take off. >> you notice probably the
