He told the police to take advantage of the academy and then find jobs elsewhere. Reporter why come forward . Why Say Something . I think its important that the truth come out. Reporter whats the truth . That the police union tries to get us to leave the department. Reporter several officers at the orientation signed sworn statements to the contrary. He also pointed out the union recently accused a political consultant of trying to coerce a former officer into making a similar allegation. Obviously he said no. I dont know what type of arrangement has been made here. This is desperate politics in the last week of a campaign. They are running out of time and they know it. Reporter the mayor says he plans to call for an independent investigation at a City Committee meeting tomorrow. Robert, thank you. New details in a south bay Home Invasion that frightened a neighborhood. These teenagers seen here, a boyfriend and girlfriend, were arrested for the crime which happened in july. Investigators say they held another teenager, the 17 year old who was at the home, at gunpoint and forced him to reveal where the valuables were located. The breakin happened in the middle of the afternoon. Investigators say the street was well equipped with cameras because of a rash of previous burglaries. The suspects are accused of armed robbery, false imprisonment and other charges. Just too many water wasters in the south bay is what the latest numbers show and now Santa Clara ValleyWater District is considering ways to beef up the dwindling water supply. Jeff ranieri is keeping an eye on whats falling from the sky soon but we begin with Marianne Favro and the board is meeting right now . Reporter yes. A meeting just got under way at 6 00 tonight. Our water supply is so low that right now the district is considering entering into phase three water restrictions and the board will hear what that should mean for south bay residents. Despite a call to cutback water usage, too much water is going down the drain. Since february, the south bay has only managed to save a total of 12 . Im really not surprised. I know that these apartment complexes, it takes ten minutes for the water to get warm if you want to take a shower and do dishes and you have to waste that water. Reporter heres now the numbers break down. San jose Water Companies saved 11 since february. Sunnyvale, 13 . Morgan hill cut back 15 . In addition to unmet conservation goals, Santa Clara ValleyWater Districts say we have seen driest years on record with the ground water supply down 100,000 acre feet which is one reason the board will hear ideas about phase three, a more aggressive approach to saving water will look like. There are things that well look at in terms of what rates do we have to charge . Do we have to increase rates to cover our own costs. Reporter another option is implementing tiered rates requiring those who use the most water to pay the most. Originally the boards request for us to cut backwater use 20 was supposed to end in december but now it looks like our water picture is so bad the board will likely extend that through next year. In san jose, Marianne Favro, nbc bay area news. Thank you. Want to take you outside now. The dry hills across the bay area. Sunol grade on your left. Dublin on the right. They look dry. They need rain. Jeff ranieri joins us now. We expect rain later in the week. Not enough but every bit counts. A few drops weve had this year helped to keep us out of the complete negative category for parts of the bay area. Mountain view at 77 of normal. San francisco, 78. Check it out here across the trivalley. Livermore 30 of normal. San jose at 53 . We obviously need a ton of rainfall this water year to catch up on the drought. Right now here is the bottom line. Were one full water year behind. So an average water year we need 20 inches of rain in San Francisco and 15 inches in san jose. So in order to get out of this drought this year, we need 40 inches in San Francisco and 30 inches in san jose. That is a huge number. I dont think thats going to happen this season. Were definitely going to see a better water year than what we had last year. Our next storm system is lining up. Ive got details on that next storm in about ten minutes. Okay. See you then, jeff. The state may be in a record drought but emergency leaders are focusing on the threat of flooding this week. Want to show you pictures from flood drills. The department of Water Resources just wrapped up. Flooding in the middle of a drought is not unusual because the ground is so dry and because areas that have been burned are vulnerable to erosion. Things are getting back to normal on mission boulevard in fremont this evening after hours of cleanup, crews were able to right this 18 wheeler. It actually overturned earlier this afternoon. This is what it looked like soon after the accident. The truck was carrying gravel and spilled all over the roadway. All lanes were blocked for a while and the chp closed down the mission boulevard exit off 680. As you can imagine, traffic was backed up for miles. Its not clear why the truck tipped over.

Nbc bay areas Jodi Hernandez joins us from the oracle arena with details of this email. Jodi . Reporter that email is definitely causing a stir but the players who tip off their season tomorrow night followed by the first home game of the season here on saturday seem to be taking it in stride. Players may be focused on tomorrows Season Opener against the Sacramento Kings but theyre also fielding questions about a controversial email sent out by the teams coowner. I know peter. I know him personally and have talked to him and doesnt sound like something he would say. Reporter in an email responding to the teams Diverse International roster, he wrote im writing rosetta stone. He said he intended to write yiddish and it was either a typo or case of auto correct. A lot of people are saying things they think they can get away with because they have money. Reporter many fans are crying foul. Players and the head coach say theyll give a pass. From what i know of peter, hes a straightforward guy and a guy thats always been great with everybody on the team and we have nothing but respect for him. I make typeos on my phone al the time. Ill take him at his word. Nothing malicious by any means. Reporter now, a spokesperson for the nba says they dont plan to take any action.

Attorney general says 18. 5 million californians were impacted by data breaches that put their personal information at risk. Thats almost half the population of our state. The result is often time consuming and expensive. If a Social Security number is shared without authorization, the cost to the victim of just correcting the damage is 289. Reporter the attorney general says its technology that often gets us in trouble. Intel security agrees. Your Social Security number is at risk because thats your most essential private information. Your credit card number, your address, anything you would consider private information about yourself. How can we protect ourselves . Technology like Antivirus Software can help and be aware of what youre doing with your tech devices. Use common sense.

Giant crowd literally and figuratively is out at city hall watching and praying for another celebration tonight. The game might be in kansas city but the party you see down below. Its in San Francisco. As weve seen in 2010 and 2012, all of the world series excitement comes with a downside. Unruly celebrations that cause thousands of dollars of damage.

Reporter down on king street across from the ballpark. If giants win, hes got a plan in place. When the game ends, everyone comes out partying in the streets. Reporter in 2012 when giants fans took to the streets, they burned bonfires in the Mission District and torched a bus on market street. Tonight every Police Patrol car will carry a fire extinguisher and power will be cut if need be. We wont put service where theres trouble. Reporter the hope is that giants will win and that giants fans will celebrate appropriately. The police chief says thats what he expects because the city has been here before. Again, world class city. World championship city. Been there before. Class fans. Respect the place. Nobody wants to wake up tomorrow morning with some sort of a criminal case as their take away from world championship. Reporter the chief says if they win tonight, a parade will happen on thursday. If they win in game seven, there will be a parade on halloween. A bit ahead of ourselves. We have some incoming weather coming as you head throughout fridays forecast.

Reporter there was a time in Richard Martins life people have been around San Francisco a long time would know me. Reporter when the future was filled with promise. A lot of drugs around then. Reporter the twists and turns of drug addiction turned him from a musician to a criminal. Martin was jailed numerous times shoplifting, drug possession, felony crimes. He was now a convicted felony. They called it collateral consequences of being a felon haunted me many years. Reporter he cleaned up many years ago but his life bears the legal scars. I have to click the box that says i was convicted of a felony. Reporter despite his masters degree, he was denied a teacher credential. For the last 2 1 2 decades, we have incarcerated more people for low level offenses. Reporter the San FranciscoDistrict Attorney wants to change the way martin and other low level offenders are prosecuted in the States Justice system. He crafted prop 47 that will appear on the state ballot in november. It would convert many low level crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Crimes like drug possession for personal use along with other crimes that normally go along with drug addiction and Mental Health issues. Were looking at shoplifting and petty theft. Reporter prop 47 would save the state as much as 250 million a year by reducing jail and prison populations. The savings would go toward Mental Health services, substance treatment and schools. We need to deal with the addiction and addiction cannot be cured by incarceration. If 47 were to pass, its difficult if not impossible to undo the unintended consequences. The Morgan Hill Police chief who serves on the California PoliceChiefs Association says prop 47 has serious flaws. One of the things that 47 does that has some negative impacts is it removes prosecutorial discretion in chargie inine ining of crimes. Reporter they could exploit the new law to get away with serious crimes and doubts potential for help low level offenders get into drug treatment. If we take the felony conviction away and now its just a misdemeanor, how many first time or secondtime offenders will truly seek treatment . Reporter these days martin runs a Nonprofit Organization that helps former convicted criminals turn their lives around, a job that would be easier with passage of prop 47.

Still ahead at 6 00, facing a judge for the first time. The long list of charges for a couple accused of killing two deputies. Im Investigative ReporterStephen Stock. We investigate whats called Silicon Valleys dark secret. Body shops in the high tech industry. Tonight we take you behind the scenes of a system that leaves some high tech workers trapped like servants. They call themselves highly educated Foreign Workers being paid pennies on the dollars. Theres a dark secret in the Silicon Valley. Workers flown in from other countries like india and being mistreated by the companies that brought him here. A yearlong investigation worked to bring light to that system. Companies involved are almost all consulting firms. Thirdparty businesses that contract out Foreign Workers to major high tech firms. We discovered that some of those companies are not playing by the rules. Those companies are often called body shops. Body shops that leave highly educated employees without work, little money, trapped in pursuit of the american dream. Reporter what drives technology are thousands of Foreign Workers who come here every year contributing labor to a 197 billion economy. They can make profit only by paying less to their employees. Reporter this man left his home in india a decade ago to follow his dream here in the Silicon Valley. I will work for them for probably seven or eight. Reporter seven or eight consulting firms. What he called body shops. Body shops have a specific business model. They make profit by having a cheap labor. Reporter he fears for his safety and his future. Thats why he asked that we change his appearance and give him a false name. At his request, we will call him regeesh. Do you feel trapped . I feel im trapped. Reporter under the law, a company can bring highly educated, highly specialized Foreign Workers to the United States by using an h1b visa. 1. 3 million visas have been given out since 2008. In 2012, 59 of those visa petitions went to computer related occupations. While Many Companies play by the rules, a yearlong joint investigation by nbc bay area and center for investigative reporting uncovered examples of Companies Taking advantage of these Foreign Workers and breaking federal law in the process. Its a pretty accurate term because in many cases thats exactly whats going on. Reporter phillip and his law partner have heard stories and represented workers from body shops for years. They may not have a job which is misrepresentation of the visa. Federal law requires that companies that bring workers over on visas have jobs lined up for them and requires that the attorney and document fees. But we found dozens of cases where those rules were ignored or broken leaving Foreign Workers who thought they had jobs now in the u. S. Illegally broke and unemployed. We tracked various criminal and civil cases involving Consulting Companies or their executives in u. S. District court and state courts around the country. In total, these Court Filings involve more than 600 fraudulent visas and petitions. In the case we looked into which is an outfit. Reporter a lawsuit alleging a Santa Clara Company refused to pay them and didnt have jobs for those workers when they arrived here. Court filings show the company denied these allegations but midway through the lawsuit, Silicon Valley went out of business and workers left with nothing. When they got here, there was nothing for them. Reporter its called benching workers. Once workers get here, they find theres no work and often they are told to go find their own jobs. Under visa rules, its illegal. We found it happens again and again. They didnt have jobs lined up for any of their employees. Certainly nothing at the levels they had promised them and they dumped them into the guest house. Reporter a guest house. What this lawsuit, interviews with former workers and this research describes as a small apartment or house where as many as eight to ten workers live at once. Sometimes those workers pay the body shop rent to live there and are told never to leave except to go to work. This worker asked to remain unanimous because he fears for his future job prospects by speaking out now. He stayed in guest houses for months. So this body shop could cancel your visa and send you back to india at any time and that scares you . That scares me. Reporter the body shop he works for kept up to 30 of his 60 an hour contract salary for expenses and taxes a loss in salary of 35,000 a year. They did charge you . How much did they charge you . 2,300. Reporter you paid the company to get you a visa. Yes. Room for abuse is there definitely. Reporter a researcher at the university of wisconsin milwaukee studied h1b visas and body shops for years. As long as consulting firms play by the rules, their existence is critical for large, High Tech Companies to operate efficiently. Its a flexible kind of labor regime. Most of the times they place very skilled people with needy firms in the u. S. Reporter as for workers, he just wants a fair Playing Field for all courageous enough to pursue their american dreams. How widespread is this . Its all over the country. I cant list a state where its not happening. Its across the country. Reporter so who exactly is at fault here . Experts say the current federal law as its currently designed allows for this type of abuse by some companies. Those experts Want Congress and the u. S. Labor department to change the rules before more people get trapped in a body shop.

More giant fans in kansas city this week. Last week we saw 50. Tonight weve seen hundreds so far. Fans have traveled from all over the country, all united by one thing. Their love for the giants. In the sea of blue, the giants fans in their orange are not hard to spot especially these two from san jose with their flags flying and the couple feels confident the giants will sail to victory tonight. We had champagne on ice in the trunk and glasses and we have flags. Reporter they are giants fanatics and dont think twice about shelling out thousands of dollars for plane and game tickets to follow their beloved team on the road. The neat thing is you get to see cities you would never go to otherwise like we would probably never go to detroit like we did in 12. Detroit was great. And here we are in kansas city. Its great. Reporter like most of the giants fans, the trips to kc was last minute. Steven dickerson of philadelphia found out last night he got tickets from his godfather, the giants hitting coach, and booked his tickets right away.

Even offering them barbecue and wishing them good luck making this trip to kansas city even more memorable. In kansas city, janelle wang, nbc bay area news. Thank you. Theres a new commercial which might end up being right but giants fans are hoping it is not. Its a commercial for Dicks Sporting Goods that will be used if royals come back to win the world series. Somehow it ran in kansas city showing championship tshirts. In truth the commercial is made for both teams but the winning teams version is the only one supposed to be seen in the light of day and we dont know who will win yet so that was premature to put that on tv. How dare they air that commercial. I dont know. Someone will have to pay for that. Its in good fun. Beautiful behind you, jeff. If Mother Nature is any indication, we know which way we could go. Forget about the score right now if you can. Beautiful. Fogfree conditions across the San Francisco bay. Well take you across the rest of the network and you can see clear conditions. Temperatures from the 60s down to the south bay. Weve got something larger besides just hot air aloft. Its giving us an enjoyable day today and awesome weather for tomorrow. Lets get focus on it. In the bay area its about wind. We have winds onshore out of the west 5 to 10 miles an hour. As we head throughout tomorrows forecast, well see a key difference in that wind for the interior valleys. That wind will come from the north and also the east. A drier and hotter wind. Its not gusty. 5 to 10 miles per hour. From napa to livermore, well have hotter temperatures. Lets get a look at our microclimate forecast. Throughout wednesday, heres the heat. 81 expected in san jose. Slight offshore winds in morgan hill, temperatures close to 90 degrees. If you live in morgan hill, get a look at that scrolling sevenday forecast. Bottom of your screen. South bay comes out, check out fridays number. Its a stark contrast from that. For the peninsula, beach weather even in pacifica at 75 degrees. 82 in palo alto. San francisco, numbers expected in mid to upper 70s. A rare october day here for a lot of the bay area. For north bay, east bay and trivalley, numbers in the mid 80s here in napa and sunny skies. 78 in oakland. Looking good. Back toward walnut creek, 86. And for the trivalley, weve got a few clouds. Its mainly haze in the atmosphere. I think overall well have sunny conditions especially in danville with 86 degrees. Lets push ahead toward that possibility of rainfall. Friday is the game changer for us. Not only rain coming our way but also temperatures dropping 15 to about 25 degrees. By 5 00 a. M. , rainfall lines up to the north and this again is our best indication of what we think will happen. By 1 00, areas of rain spreading across the north bay down to the south bay. Throughout the early evening hours, unfortunately for trickortreaters, still looks like we have wet weather. Throughout the late night we may see some of this rain break up so its not going to be nonstop rain all day long but well have a few areas of rain into the overnight hours. By saturday morning, well begin to see things clear out. Overall rainfall totals very close in line with what we had yesterday. At least a quarter inch in the south bay. Great news for the drought. Bad news for the trickortreaters. Up near north bay, were looking at a half inch. Halloween forecast in the 60s. Eventually into the 50s by 9 00 p. M. And of course the wet weather you need the jacket and you need the umbrella. Winds 15 to 25 miles per hour. After halloween as we mentioned for saturday afternoon, also into sunday, we get sunnier weather back in and it will be a cool weekend for us. Since im your personal reminder, dont forget clocks fall back one hour. Do it saturday so youre not late sunday. Good reminder. No problem. Guess who is back in business . Warriors. Opening night is tomorrow. They have a new coach. They could start the season without one of their notable players. If you feel lucky, act quickly. You have two chances to become an instant millionaire over the next 24 hours. A steady stream of people lining up to buy the Mega Millions tickets for tonights lottery. The jackpot is more than 250 million. This is jennifers gift shop in east san jose. Its been a hot spot because if you remember last december a winning Mega Millions ticket was sold right there. If you dont win tonight, you can try again tomorrow because wednesdays powerball drawing has a grand prize of not quite 250 million but 150 million. The giants luck needs to improve. They need a turnaround here. You know, i think youre missing some of that orange you were talking about yesterday. They need all the help they can get right now. A likely scenario of all hands on deck for the giants as they play to clinch the title. They neededed ed ted to win onn philadelphia to clinch the pennant, he used a stater. This is a bull pen game for gmen. 80 royals in the fourth inning. The full story coming up at 11 00. Warriors will likely hit the regular season hardwood in sacramento without the services of forward david lee. Hes doubtful with a strained left hamstring injury. Hes missed the last couple days of practice and most likely green will get the start in his place. I always want to play through everything and the question is can i make it worse and in this case the answer is yes. If we have to sacrifice a day or two in order to save going in there and trying to overdo it and be out a couple months because of it, thats what well have to do. Thats why depth on this team is so important and im sure well have a great opening game whether i play or not. Its no secret the doves have plenty of firepower without lee in the lineup. With steve guiding the ship, this offense could be tops in the entire association. Great preseason. Worked on a lot of good things. Have a lot of confidence going into the start of the season tomorrow. We have to really lock in and execute on things weve been doing the last three weeks and hopefully it shows tomorrow when the lights come on. Talking football. Still no word on an early return for smith but good news for another 49ers linebacker. There is no timetable set for bowmans return. The all pro might be running faster as he rehabs from the serious left knee injury. And finally to the ice and pepsi center in denver. First period. Burns with the possession. Looking inside. Crashing into the crease area. Loose puck. The shot deflects. Right now 10, sharks, at first intermission. Well have those highlights for you tonight and maybe some decent giants highlights. Long way to go. Quite the hill to climb in game six. There is game seven so not all is lost right now. We have them right where we want them. Exactly. I believe. I still believe. Thank you. Jeff ranieri is back with us now. Quick look at our weather. Friday forecast is looking important. Things are changing. It is. Drastically. Hotter weather for tomorrow. Low 80s expected down into san jose by friday rain returns and also colder and then by this upcoming weekend, you want to set clocks back an hour and well keep cold temperatures for saturday and sundays forecast. Unfortunately for trickortreaters, it looks wet throughout the evening hours. Well keep mainly 60s and then by 9 00 p. M. , upper 50s. Winds 15 to 25 miles an hour. Take the jacket and the umbrella if you are preparing for halloween. Thats what we got. We can work through this. We can get through it. Thanks for joining us. We hope to see you tonight at 11 00.
