with the mother of the 15-year- old boy who was handcuffed. she declined to comment saying she would be commenting through her attorney. but basically, this case comes down to a question of whether the mother and father of the 15- year-old allowed this scared straight lecture to go on inside their home or if this is a case of a police officer abusing his authority. reporter: riding his police motorcycle and dressed in full uniform with badge and gun, the veteran officer allegedly went to the home of his 14-year-old stepdaughter's 15-year-old boyfriend and handcuffed the boy because the two had consensual sex. >> the officer is placed on paid administrative leave. that's pending the outcome of a criminal investigation. >> reporter: the officer is accused of abusing his authority and false imprisonment. >> if this was a joke or to scare this young man, that's a violation of the law. it's not allowed. >> reporter: the defense attorney and former prosecutor steve clark says the officer's job is now on the line. >> if he is charged with a

felony false imprisonment, which is restraining someone's liberty under the color of authority or by force, that's a serious felony and that officer would not be able to continue on as a police officer if he is convicted of that. >> reporter: the boy's father reportedly took cell phone video of the incident and the "mercury news" quotes the officer on video telling the boy, a cop's daughter is not somebody you mess around with. you're stupid. the officer's attorney said, the officer was essentially invited to use scare straight tactics and there were no objections to the lecture or handcuffing. everything was done in the spirit of reaching a troubled young man headed down the wrong path. but if that'swhy did the boy's mother file a case with internal affairs? >> the fact that the mother went so, to them as a result of this indicates that this was not consensual. in other words, the parents didn't want their son handcuffed that this police officer stepped way over the line between being an upset parent and abusing his authorities. >> reporter: sex between minors

even consensual sex is a misdemeanor. and the san jose police department cited both children in this case for that misdemeanor. dana, this is a case that we are going to be hearing a lot more of especially with that cell phone video that allegedly shows some of the comments made by the officer while he was doing this lecture with the boy. >> all right. len ramirez, thank you. this story generating a lot of conversation. comments are piling up on our website. you can check them out or leave your own at cbs5.com. another story out of the south bay this evening. san jose earned a rough distinction that probably won't surprise drivers probably. researchers say the city has the worst roads in the state. thuy vu reports. >> reporter: roadway cracks, bumps and potholes. a national research group says there's more of them in san

jose than any other big see if in california. >> we had to replace a tire. that's because of the roads around here that's so bad. >> reporter: according to the group "trip," three bay area cities have the dubious distinction of being in the top 10 list for bad roads. there is san jose at number one with 64% of its roads in poor shape. los angeles is second. concord and the san francisco- oakland area are tied at 4 and 5 with 58%. >> the roads aren't in good shape. >> reporter: he is one of. owners at bruce's tire in san jose. his auto shop handles about ten alignments a day much due to wear and tear from bad roads. >> in our industry we see it every day with damaged tires, wheels, you know, it's -- it's very traumatic on a vehicle when it hits a pothole especially at high speed. >> reporter: and a dramatic hut to your wallet. trip estimates drivers in california spend up to $756 more per year to care for their

cars because of all the damage. live in a smaller city? no break. antioch and santa rosa topped that list with 65 and 54%. for many, the bumpy rides are an infuriating example of how government is failing the people. >> taxpayers expect the roads to be one of the basic services provided government. >> reporter: san jose likes to boast but not about this. terrible roads. and you know, the mayor's office wasted no time in firing off a response on this...

affected. a number of feeder lines might disappear. four out of six overnight routes may be eliminated and paratransit service may be provided by private companies and that could save $11 million. >> we are making drastic cuts. and we do wonder about how much further we can go and still be a viable bus company. >> reporter: the bus company, the drivers union, locked in battle over contract negotiations. both sides disagree on how to bridge the budget gap which a.c. transit says is now at $41 million for this year and last. on the outside looking in, the riders like joe ford who is a senior and relies on the bus every day. >> it's going to be rougher. i go to church in san francisco. we need these buses. >> reporter: if weekend service is cut, it would come on the heels of two rounds of

scheduled downsizing. the second takes place at the end of october. >> i don't know. i don't drive. i can't afford a cab all the time. so it will be tough. >> reporter: a.c. transit turns 50 next month but there may not be a big celebration especially for riders if at tonight's board of directors meeting, weekend and overnight bus service takes a big hit. now, juliet , if the board of directors does decide to approve those cuts, that will happen at the end of the year. >> we'll be at the meeting, sherry hu. thank you. once a "saturday night live" joke now life imitating art. why california marijuana growers are joining the teamsters. meantime, californians are faced with a choice of legalizing the plant. tonight, what could be a split in a key voting bloc, the beer vote. and state lawmakers are raking in millions of dollars while they waste millions of

legalize recreational marijuana in california, even going so far as to donate $10,000 to help defeat the measure. but not all beers are alike because just as quickly, popular chico brewer sierra nevada which is taking no position on the pot question, issued its own statement asking the beer association to remove their name from the list of members and disassociating themselves from their position. meanwhile, on the other side, there's also a fight breaking out between marijuana advocates with the california cannabis association which represents a group of medical marijuana dispensaries also coming out against prop 19. the reason? cities, which would be given the final say in whether to legalize pot under the measure may choose instead to just close everyone down. meanwhile, a new "survey u.s.a."-cbs 5 poll shows that california voters are still split on the question of legalizing pot with 47% of those surveyed saying they plan to vote for the measure and 42%

saying no. a critical 11% are still undecided. now, they say politics carries with it its own self-interest so the brewers association didn't return calls for comment, but let's get honest here. is it a question whether to reach for a bottle or bong? there could be competition. it's interesting to note the split between the marijuana community. the medical people are afraid they might get aced out or the feds might kick everyone's door down. it's fascinating that the public employees unions have gotten on the bandwagon along with the teamsters. they want the tax money because they think if they get the tax money from pot that will mean more money to fill up potholes which will keep them employed rather than getting laid off in the recession. >> that's the bottom line there in all of this money. >> reporter: thank you very, very much. marijuana and money. there are billions to be made and everyone wants a slice of the action. >> thank you, phil matier. well, a few more poll numbers for you now. for the first time in two

hello. welcome to the cbs 5 weather center, where we are noting some big-time changes in your forecast beginning tomorrow. tonight, our live cbs 5 weather camera looking outdoors. we see we have wall-to-wall sunshine right now in the city by the bay, the city of san francisco, where temperatures today were averaging about 10 degrees below average. the coast is clear. yes. a little hint of some stratus way out yonder there. patchy low clouds and fog filling in this evening. 60s to the low 70s inland.

we'll have a full moon tonight and officially autumn arrives at 8:09. last time the two coincided is back in autumn of 1991. so what does it mean? nothing. all right. let's take a look at what's going on. low pressure north of us, high pressure filling in from the disthe southwest to the eastern pacific so even though we are now entering autumn, it's going to feel like summer. numbers begin to rise tomorrow going up to 83 degrees in concord, up from 75 in santa rosa to the low 80s, for seasonal, san jose at 80, san francisco at 72 when the average high is 73. we are going to pinpoint your forecast like this. 83 los gatos with a northwest wind 10 to 15 miles an hour. 76 alameda, 84 brentwood and tracy. north bay numbers, 72 in san francisco to the upper 70s in san anselmo and then we'll

begin to see temperatures in the low 80s around santa rosa. as you take a good look at our cbs 5- and 7-day forecast, we are going to say the offshore flow kicks in by friday afternoon. that will leave us with fire weather conditions over the weekend. and you say, no she didn't? yes, i did! triple digits by monday inland. so obviously, we are going to be flirting with near or record high temperatures anywhere from about saturday all the way through monday. tuesday and wednesday, slow to cool. hey, jules, we'll talk more about the potential fire weather coming up next time around. thank you, roberta. it is a sad fact that the golden gate bridge for all its beauty is also a place of tragedy for some. and today supporters renewed their calls for a suicide barrier. mike sugerman heard from one survivor with a powerful message to share. mike. >> reporter: june yet, this is one of the most -- juliette, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. but it is also "the" spot where more people have committed suicide than anywhere on earth and as you

have stopped me literally in my tracks. >> my husband and i have presented to the golden gate bridge strict 20 studies showing that restricting access saves lives. >> reporter: a net is approved by the district but it costs money the cash-poor district doesn't have which is why assemblyman tom ammiano an active member of the antisuicide community has been looking for help from washington to the tune of $40 to $50 million. that's a lot of money. >> it's a lot of money in a national budget, it's -- it's -- it's not as significant. and also, you can't nickel and dime people's lives. >> reporter: $5 million has already been raised by private money. until some sort of barrier is put up, all people can do for those who wish to take their lives here to tell them, please don't jump. >> it's almost like a prayer. please don't jump. i don't want you to die. i want you to live. >> reporter: it's incredible to talk to kevin.

he is such a profound person after what went through. he has changed completely. they will be in washington later in the year after the election and after all the fundraising that's going on to try to get that 40 to $50 million for a barrier and a net. juliette? >> thank you. mike sugerman. from an $800,000 city salary to handcuffs then the courtroom and that raises a new question for the residents of bell: just whose money is mr. rizzo using to get bailed out of jail? they are wasting your tax money every day don't come up with a budget but don't think they are just sitting around doing nothing. how lawmakers are making millions while nothing gets accomplished. and what can these bay area kids learn from the best female soccer player in the world? a hint? it has very little to do with soccer. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,

something valuable in defeat n oakland, ann notarangelo, cbs 5. >> maybe the california legislature could learn something here. the budget standoff is nearing record-breaking territory with no deal in sight. we are now 84 days late. the record 85 days. the governor has summoned lawmakers to los angeles because he too sick to travel to sacramento. the illness is blamed on the trip to asia this month. insiders are not expecting a breakthrough, bad news. the budget delay is costing the state millions of dollars in loan interest payments money that we of course do not get back. but in the meantime, state lawmakers are not just sitting on their hands. they are raking in money and a whole lot of it. for example, assemblywoman joan buchanan represents a hefty chunk of contra costa county and livermore valley and just

yesterday, she held a fundraiser at chops restaurant in sacramento. each sponsor paid about $4,000. the tickets were $1,000. the assemblyman isidore hall from los angeles held a fundraiser at the same spot but tickets were more expensive. and cameron smith also from los angeles chose cosmo cafe and bumped ticket price up to $13. add that money up, it sure does add up. since july 1, state lawmakers have generated almost $7 million for their re-election campaigns. that works out to more than $80,000 a day. all this while the state loses money trying to find a way out of a $19 billion budget hole. so does it make you sick?? well, you're not alone. joining us tonight from sacramento is derek crest man the regional director for common cause, a nonprofit

nonpartisan citizens lobbying organization promoting what it calls open, honest and accountable government. well, good luck with that, derek. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. it's good to be here. >> so almost $7 million raised since the budget stalemate began for re-elections. same story, different year. now, that's the whole point, isn't it? >> yeah. it's pretty appalling, isn't it? i mean, here we're at a point where the budget is late a record number of days and yet the politicians are still finding time to raise money for their own campaign accounts. it's really enough to drive you crazy. but they even deeper problem is that this is exactly what our current rules would encourage. you know, there's almost no accountability in the budget process. the politician don't pay a price if the budget is late even though the rest of us do and we have a campaign finance system that's on steroids

where, whoever raises the most money wins 95% of the time. so to be expected that they are going to be out there raise last dollar that they can. >> let's look at who is giving them money, because it's a handful of larger interest groups. and just since july 1, at&t gave $70,000. pg&e $90,000. the california teachers association $70,000. the state building and construction trades council, $100,000. now, when asked about these numbers, at&t and the teachers union groups told "los angeles times" reporters, with straight faces, that the contributions have no connection to legislative action. really, should anyone believe that? >> right. if you believe that i have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you. what's so troubling is that the very interests that are there day in and day out through the end of the legislative and budget processes that are the ones filling the campaign

coffers of our elected officials. and it really leads to bad problems with the budget. for example, the car dealers are major contributors to politicians here in california. they are seeking to add on a rider to the budget bill that would jack up the fees we pay when we buy a new car by $20 or $30, costing californians about $80 million a year. so we stand to lose when these special interests can gain through the budget process and through giving campaign cash. >> derek, what effect do you think, if any, have california's term limits had on this problem? >> i think term limits might be a part of the problem? but the bigger problem with the budget process is that there is no accountability. politicians don't stand to lose if the budget isn't passed on time because we have this convoluted system that requires a supermajority to pass a budget. the democrats and republicans can blame each other and voters

don't know who they can hold accountable. so i think the first step has to be to insist that they pass a budget with a majority vote and if they don't, we should dock their pay. >> but docking their pay... is that solution enough? >> well, look, if you or i don't do our jobs, we're not going to get paid. we are seeing small businesses that aren't getting paid by the state because of the budget crisis that are trying to make their payrolls and racking up their credit cards to make ends meet. we are seeing state employees taking furloughs. and it's not their fault. the only people that can solve this problem are the legislators. and if they are not going to do it, why do they deserve to get paid? but first, we have to actually set it up so that they can do it and we know who to blame if it doesn't get done. and that means they need to be able to pass it with a majority vote. >> right. some accountability. derek cressman with common cause, thank you so much and

again, good luck. >> sure, thanks. triple digits, the day you should expect triple digits right here in the bay area with your pinpoint forecast. the as go for the sweep as they try to stay alive in the pennant race and the raiders name their starting quarterback. the decision is coming up. ,, [ ruiz ] reliable tools started as a brick and mortar store. we sell lathes, mills, high-tech equipment. i had an idea to go ahead and put up a couple of items on ebay, and they brought more than our expectations. meg whitman gave me the tools to expand globally. we sell to australia, india... that big blue machine over there? it's going to malaysia on wednesday. with ebay, she created jobs for millions of people. with meg's creativity,
