And we will twist it down here to get it where it needs to go. Reporter the tube is snaked in and then a dye injected into the blood vessel that shows up on an xray screen.

Reporter here is a picture of the implanted stent. Its a wire mesh sleeve that is inflated with a tiny balloon. And once in place it allows the blood to flow where it needs to go.

Law enforcement calls it safety. Others call it spying. But is the ability to zero in on a murder or a child molester worth the risk to your privacy . Our business and tech reporter scott budman joins us now and that is a hot debate. Reporter very much so jessica.

The public is not so sure about it. I dont like being tracked. Its a good thing if you want to catch perpetrator, people that are not supposed to be out and about. But then its also invadeing your privacy. Reporter the proposal will go before the board of supes next tuesday. The tracking machines are in use right now by the Alameda County sheriffs authorities and by the San Jose Police department. The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Department tells us they will use a search warrant each time they track someone. Back to you. Okay thank you, scott. Well california farmers will be facing some tough decisions this upcoming planting season, and once again, the drought is the culprit. The snowpack is dismal which means very little water will be delivered to farmers. That means more fields will be left unplanted this year unless there is rain. The California Farm Bureau says it will take years for us to recover from our dry spell. I think its fair to say that were in for another tough year regardless of what happens in the next five or six weeks. But if we do get more rain and snow in that time, it would make it a little less it would make it a little less difficult for people. Now last year, the federal Central Valley project did not deliver any of the water it promised to farmers. Its expected to issue its first outlook for this year in the next few days. Theyve got lots of water but its frozen. The excitement is building. The sharks are on the ice in the new Playing Field at levis stadium. This view have from our chopper as the time gets ready for tomorrows game against the l. A. Kings. Nbc bay areas Geraud Moncure joins us live in santa clara with lastminute prep.

The excitement is certainly building for one of the largest outdoor hockey events in the United States history to be honest with you. Its the sharks and the kings right here 70,000 strong expected to show up at levis stadium for part of the nhls stadium series. Now earlier today, team teal hit the ice to acclimate themselves with one final state before they take on the l. A. Kings. And they had to get the feel for the outdoor ice obviously. The humidity has been the biggest challenge for the crews in prepping the venue. But for their part, the sharks very impressed. Its rough. We hear all about it. We obviously follow on social media the progression over the days. But its such a buildup leading to it. It takes any exception we have from the locker room to the ice to the whole facility. Its really spectacular. All right. Coming back later in sports, well tell you how the players are feeling about their contest against their archrival tomorrow night. Reporting live from levis Geraud Moncure nbc bay area. Okay gerard thank you. Well turn things over to jeff ranieri right now. He is also live at levis stadium. Theyve got some ponds and stuff around the ice too. It just looks phenomenal. Yeah theyve got a lot of action besides just the ice there. Theyre really kind of taking over the levis stadium here with the ice rink right in the middle of the 49ers field. You see the ice rink back there behind me. We hear some 20,000 gallons of water that has been frozen over. Its a very delicate process to get that ice exactly right for those players. So we dont want to waste my more time. We want to get right to the guy in charge. Weve been waiting to talk to you this. Is dan craig. You are the facility operator for the nhl. So lets get right to it. How difficult it is in santa clara to do outdoor ice hockey . Well its a challenge. It doesnt matter where we go. Its a challenge. And we do all of our work at night here. So on the rink itself everybody else does their part and gets out of the way. And we do ours when the sun goes down. How exactly are you keeping this icecold . Because youre constantly battling the elements even though were not getting rain or super hot temperatures. Youve got to keep it stable. And how are you guys doing that . Well, there is from steps that we have. But we have a 53foot trailer, refrigeration trail theyre has three hohn tons capacity for refrigeration. We have glycol that goes through the floor about every 15 minutes. We keep it cool that way. And when the sun is out we have a reflective tarp insulated that we put over the top of it while were sleeping its sleeping. And what is your key concern during the game on saturday . Were expecting a dry forecast. But is there anything youre going to be really monitoring extra super close . Well, this past week this climate here. Ive never worked in before. And we have the dew point here. And so the condensation on the decking and on the glass and on the ice surface has been a concern. Those interest things im paying attention to. Weve had the dew point in the 50s. Wed like a nice strong north wind to give us some dry air in here. Well see what we can do for you tomorrow. Dan, thank you so much for coming out. Beautiful job on the ice out there. Appreciate that. Thank you. Lets go ahead and get a look at the weather graphics. And what youre going to be able to see here as we get lew the game on saturday just as we heard from dan, we need 55 degrees or colder for that morning low to help him do his job. Were looking for a morning low of 49 degrees. Pregame if youre heading out here to levis stadium will be 68. And for game time, 63 degrees. You still might need a light jacket. We are expecting a dry forecast. Now tomorrows highs will average in the low 70s for the north bay. 66 in San Francisco. And also 70 expected in the south bay. Now there is a chance of showers this weekend. Its very slight. Well see this upperlevel lowpressure system move in from the interior west. Its mainly going to be the south bay and east bay with the best chance, and temperatures will also cool off to 66. So the best news of this game is on saturday. And thats what we will have some of the better weather. Jesse and raj, i got to tell you. With the ice back here behind me its like a micromicroclimate. When you get the wind kicking up, you can actually feel an arctic breeze at my back. Nothing as cold as what theyre doing with on the east coast. But im feeling a little chilly tonight. That was a very indepth i really understand the ice now. That was phenomenal. Its going to be so cool to see the ice there and the game tomorrow night. Thank you, jeff. Literally.

Nbc bay areas Christie Smith is live in oakland, where the mayor says it is not a done deal and she has her own plans to keep the raiders. Reporter yeah thats exactly what she says. As you can imagine, Oakland Raiders fans too not too happy about this. They think the team needs to stay here in oakland. City and county leaders are optimistic that can happen. Is this a future home of the raiders . A 1. 7 billion stadium near los angeles that would be shared with the San Diego Chargers. Oakland fans are hoping it never gets off the drawing board. In oakland. The raiders are in full negotiation mode. Reporter mayor libby schaaf says they have been working hard with the team. I am optimistic about the raiders staying here in oakland. We have made significant progress over the last month in putting together a privately financed deal that builds a raiders a new great stadium and keeps them here in oakland. Reporter both teams say they will continue to work to stay in their current markets. Scott mckibben was just approved after the executive director of the Oakland Alameda coliseum. Im confident when its all said and done were going to come to some sort of resolution that works for everybody. I think without question without question mark davis would prefer to stay in oakland, as would his Senior Management team. And were going to do everything we can to try and move that ball forward. The sense of urgency in the room i think is evident. Reporter Chris Dobbins is with the Coliseum Authority, save oakland sports and a raiders season ticketholder since 1995. I mean i want to say no. But as a raider fan, and weve heard this story time and time again, and there is no solid deal. So were concerned. Reporter and the new head of the Coliseum Authority plans to meet with the raiders soon and find out what their idea of a venue and a deal looks like. Reporting live in oakland, Christie Smith, nbc bay area news. Christie thank you. A runaway garbage truck crashed into an oakland salon, sending the people inside scrambling for safety. It happened today on telegraph avenue in oakland. The driver had stepped out of that garbage truck when it started rolling towards the salon. Some customers inside the glamarama salon told us they barely got out of the way. It appears faulty brakes may be to blame. Will they tear it down or blow it up . Our first look at how crews may take down the old portion of the bay bridge. Plus a bay area family paid hundreds of dollarses for disneyland tickets only to find out the craigslist deal was a scam. Im Michelle Roberts in mountainview. Coming up, how police were able to track down the suspects. We pay all of our taxes that were supposed to be paying. You pay all of the taxes that youre supposed to be paying . Yeah. Tonight our hidden cameras take you inside a showdown over marijuana taxes in the south bay. Im Tony Kovaleski. Up next we investigate the growing controversy over marijuana, the law, and millions in unpaid tax dollars. My name is bret hembree. I am an electric crew foreman out of the cupertino service center. I was born and raised in the cupertino area. Its a fantastic area to work. The new technology that we are installing out in the field is important for the customers because system reliability i believe is number one. Pg e is always trying to plan for the future and we are always trying to build something stronger and bigger and more reliable. I love living here and i love the community i serve. Nobody wants to be without power. I dont want my family to be without power. Its much more personal to me for that reason. I dont think theres any place i really would rather be. Following the marijuana to the money. Tonight an nbc bay area investigation. That money that were talking about millions of dollars in taxes from the marijuana industry. Money many businesses simply arent paying. And you can imagine, this is big business and big revenue for local cities. Chief Investigative Reporter Tony Kovaleski has our undercover look inside the controversy of pot and taxes. Tony . Reporter a lot of moving parts here raj. In san jose, here is how it works out. Pot businesses are required to hand over 10 of their sales to the city and another 8 1 2 to the state. Now for years, the two sides have battled over marijuana business taxes, a semantic power struggle leaving millions of unpaid taxes in play. Were not even close to reporter listen closely. Those prices do already include sales tax to the state and the city has well. Reporter youre hearing and seeing one side of this controversy through the lens of our hidden cameras. So you guys are on the up and up . Were good. Reporter our investigation included visits to more than four dozen recently closed and currently operating pot shops in san jose. We pay all of our taxes that were supposed to be paying. Reporter you pay all the taxes youre supposed to be paying . Yeah. Reporter employees at san jose area pot shops claim their employers are doing nothing wrong, paying all their taxes and not in any danger of getting shut down by the city. So you guys pay the taxes . Im not going to come back done because you didnt pay taxes . No. Reporter was the information they shared accurate . No its incorrect. Theyre not paying taxes she coordinates taxes for city of san jose. Since 2011 san jose has collected more than 18 million in taxes from pot shops. But in response to requests from the Investigative Unit the city confirmed it has more than 2 million in unpaid marijuana taxes, penalties, and interest. 2 million is a lot of money. Has the city dropped the ball by not getting those dollars . I would say no. Its the citys goal to eventually pursue that unpaid tax amount. Reporter the citys list of noncompliant pot shops includes five active and operating locations. The Sovereign Wellness Center san jose medicinal group, nor cal care medi mart and the all American Cannabis Club. Obviously, we can do better. Reporter san jose mayor sam liccardo. According to city records, there is at least 2 million that hasnt been checked. Yeah. Reporter thats a lot of money. Probably conservative. Its probably more. Reporter can the city do more . Should the city do more . Yes, and yes. We can always do better. Reporter are you worried youre going to be put out of business. No. Why would i be worried . Im the only one that seems to understand the concept. Reporter he is the ceo of medimart in san jose. The city says his business is one of the worst offenders, owing nearly a half million in unpaid taxes and penalties. The only problem we have with the city is the marijuana business tax. Reporter thats a problem, though. It implicates a sale. There is case law and there is guys in federal prison right now that because they paid a tax on cannabis it was considered a sale of a controlled substance. And so theyre doing ten years in prison. Its the most amazing plant on the planet. Reporter and based on the concept, armstrong refuses to pay because he fears it will confirm his sale of an illegal drug. This is our indoor facility where we grow our medicine. Reporter he beliefs he doesnt owe the tax because he is running what he calls a closed loop collective. Well, these are just samples of the specials that are in the bowls. Reporter growing the pot and providing it to his members or coowners. He says theyre not customer and the money they pay for the pot is an equitable contribution and not a sale. And youre not paying taxes . No. Because we make everything ourselves. Reporter are you paying taxes to the city right now . Were not. Reporter dave hodges owns the all American Cannabis Club. When it comes to taxes, do i pay the taxes . Its already included on the menu. Well she is a little misinformed that conversation im going to have to have when i get back to the shop. Reporter the truth is the all American Cannabis Club has never paid marijuana business tax to the city of san jose. City records show dave hodges has been noncompliant for four years. More than a half million in unpaid tax and penalties. I want to pay sales tax. But by paying sales tax, im admitting that im selling marijuana, which is violating the law. Reporter he is referring to federal law and the conflict with state laws. Hodges and other pot shop owners also point to this language at the top of san joses marijuana business tax return. It includes payment of the tax does not authorize unlawful business. Now, if the law were to say you can sell marijuana, we would gladly pay sales tax. But the law doesnt say that. Reporter by all indications, this is a semantics nightmare. It is. It just needs to be cleared up. Reporter are you worried the city is going to come and lock your doors . You know its been a concern of mine ever since i started five years ago. Reporter what is your message to these businesses . Pack up, its time to move on. And pay up on your way out. I would say to the mayor that he won by 2,000 votes. And that there is a Large Population in the city of san jose who wants us here. And were going to stay here. Reporter now, we reached out to the three other noncompliant pot shops. Nor cal care says it is paying its back taxes and should be off that list next month. The other two locations did not respond to our calls. Now mayor liccardo says that he thinks the city should not be in the business of regulating marijuana. He says if it is a medicine and it belongs ultimately in a pharmacy and under the supervision of the fda. The two pot shop owners we talked to say theyre willing to pay a tax or some sort of fee they just dont want to call it the marijuana business tax. They need it to be some other title. So back to the semantics. Back to the semantics. Thanks, tony. Give us a call 888996tips or give us an email to the unit nbcbayarea. Com. Duped over disneyland tickets, a bay area family got scammed on craigslist. Michelle roberts is at the mountainview Police Department. It looks like the alleged scammer got scammed himself by an undercover operation. The sting was similar to a drug bust twhaechlts. Thats what police say. They set up a meeting spot. They exchanged the fake tickets and the money, and he was arrested. Signs. Reporter signs she didnt notice until it was too late. Before her trip to disneyland last week her friend suggested she look for ticket deals on craigslist. I said can you make it a better deal, you know . And he said okay ill give you 500 for four tickets. Reporter she says she met this man in the Mountain View costco parking lot where she says she paid him 500 cash in exchange for four park tickets, which is half of what they would cost at the park. She says he told her they were extra from his recent disney visit. I even told him, what if they dont work . Well you have my number. Reporter it wasnt until she and her family arrived at the happiest place on earth that she realized the tickets were a bust, and she was out 500. Its a deal is too good to be true it probably is. Reporter sergeant with the Mountain View Police Department says investigators were able to track down the same ad that fooled raka. Detectives met with the suspect in a parking lot in Mountain View and made the purchase. And unfortunately for the suspect, they sold it to an Undercover Police officer. Reporter 25yearold david ko is facing theft charges. Raka says she plans to use craigslist again, but next time she wont be so trusting. You have to be aware and do your homework and, you know, make sure you dont fall into the trap. Well, the family hasnt received their 500 back. But they did go to disneyland. They just had to pay another thousand dollars for those tickets. As for craigslist, they say 99 of scams can be avoided if you do business in person facetoface. In this case though it didnt work. Reporting live in Mountain View michelle robert, nbc bay area news. Thank you michelle. Next, up from the ashes. A milestone for San Francisco today.

More than 800,000 people who purchased insurance through healthcare. Gov last year are being asked to delay filing their tax returns. Thats because the federal government sent them wrong tax information. Those affected are being notified as we speak.

They say thats when theyll see the lowest number of fish and marine life in the area. Caltrans is running the idea by several environmental agencies for approval.

People coming to San Francisco look at it and cant believe it exists. Reporter the palace of fine arts is the last souvenir of perhaps the greatest celebration the bay area ever hosted, the 1915 Panama Pacific International exposition. On february 20th 1915 following nearly two years of construction, the 1915 worlds fair opened its gates at San Franciscos northern waterfront in spectacular fashion. On opening day, the city was awakened before dawn by bells and whistles and a huge parade. Reporter the fair was officially a celebration of the opening of the panama canal. But for San Francisco, it was a symbol of the citys rebirth from the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire. What would any sane city do . They would say well lets build a giant party and invite the entire world. Reporter 635 acres of the Marina District from the presidio to van ness were filled with 11 palaces, 600 acres of buildings, a midway racetracks art, food fountains, exhibits from around the world.

There were dignitaries like teddy roosevelt, Thomas Edison and henry ford who even set up a working auto plant. Crowds retreated to displays of the recent invention of aviation. During the fairs ninemonth run, some 20 Million People took in the glory of what was called the jewelled city. And if you think about that thats 20 million before there were airplanes.

If your dad is a hockey player, its never too early to learn how to ice skate. This little one did just that as she took to the ice with her family. Really, really cute seeing the players out there with their kids. Now the players also got in on some practice. We have video of that as well. To get a feel for the conditions as theyre skating around on this 20,000 gallons of Recycled City water theyre using on the rink as it is being frozen to the proper 22 degrees. Its a loft work and its no doubt going to be epic here as we head throughout saturday. Players are feeling confident about those conditions. Well you know its tough when the heat and the moisture and the humidity, everything like that. I think thats a bit above my pay grade. But they did a fantastic job, and obviously its not exactly as hockey players maybe like it to be. But its definitely good enough. Were going to be excited to play on it tomorrow. All right. Theyre going to be you know nailing it pretty good on that ice tomorrow. We saw them out there practicing. And theyre getting a pretty good feel for it. The crowd at sap center normally 17,000. Theyre going to more than triple that. Close to 70,000. They have actually put more seats in here to test it out for a super bowlsized crowd. Its going to be a lot of folks. Its also going to be the largest hockey crowd ever west of the mississippi. And the ice is going to stay cold by a 53foot refrigeration truck constantly working overnight. That brings us to the next thing. We need 55 degrees or lower for our ice gueydan to be able to do his job properly. It looks like were going to see that. 49 degrees as we head throughout tomorrow morning. 68 for a pregame, if youre heading out here. It is sold out. If youre going to do tailgating with friends that have tickets, great weather tomorrow, 63 at game time. Youll need a light jacket. And the only big issue when it comes to these kind of Outdoor Games at least besides controlling the ice would be rain. We do not have that in the forecast. So that is the good news. Lets go and get to your microclimate forecast for tomorrow. 70 expected in san jose. 69 in palo alto. San francisco 67. And lets take you to the north bay, east bay and trivalley.
