ktvu joey hoarder live tonight from the alameda county sheriff's office with reaction from both sides of this issue. joey >> well, mike, the sheriff here and other local law enforcement leaders around the country are against this bill. they say it would make it even harder to fight crime. others we spoke with are worried about being spied on by the government. the fourth amendment is not for sale . act passes the house and a vote of 219 to 199. the bill aims to prevent law enforcement from purchasing americans personal data from data brokers. >> i'm all for the police, there's no doubt about that. and it sounds like it could be an intrusion. >> so much information is available. in a way. it's kind of like a pandora's box. it seems that shouldn't be that easily accessible. >> the data in question includes online search history and location tracking, which
10:18 pm
companies like. the apps on your smartphone are always monitoring. >> big tech already has all our information and most of our information is pretty much out there. >> alameda county sheriff yesenia sanchez is against the bill right now. she says her department pays to retrieve information in the case of a suspect or missing person through cell phone records to urgently track the person down. it's really going to cripple the system. the sheriff says the measure would require investigators to get separate warrants for every piece of information, like revealing a suspect's cell phone carrier to look up their gps location and call records, delaying an urgent investigation. >> it really impacts those who are being affected by the crime. it is the victims who will suffer. >> tracy rosenberg with oakland privacy citizens coalition that defends the right to privacy, supports the bill. >> where we go, what we browse on the internet and who we talk to. is that something that the government should be tracking,
10:19 pm
profiling and keeping a list of? >> sheriff sanchez believes there's a misconception that law enforcement is keeping tabs on everyone. >> the people who should be concerned are the people who are actually out there committing crimes, because those are the people that we're looking for. >> now, we should also point out the biden administration is also against this bill as well. the white house saying today that the law enforcement will not be able to do what private companies can do, which is now purchase and store your information. mike. >> yeah. interesting to see where this legislation will go. actually, where does where does the bill go next? joey >> right. so it goes to the senate next. mike and then after that, if it is approved by the senate, it will go to the president's desk where he could either sign it into law or possibly veto this bill. all right. >> joey horta live tonight in alameda county. joey, thank you for that. a civil rights attorney right here in the bay area is now questioning the conditions of the jails in san francisco, where inmates have become violent with deputies, the sheriff deputies union says
10:20 pm
nine deputies have been attacked in the past three weeks. sheriff paul miyamoto attributes the violence to jail, overcrowding and a shortage of deputies. however, the attorney, yolanda wong, tells us the treatment of the inmates, including a lack of sunlight in outdoor exposure, could also be contributing to their behavior. >> you're locking them in that room 2020 two hours a day with another person, two people. we've all been in lockdowns. we all know how terrible that feels. and so now it's going on year four. they're still in lockdown and what do they expect these people to do? they're going crazy. >> the lockdown at the jail at seventh and bryant was lifted today. the jail in san bruno will remain on lockdown. the sheriff's office, responding to these new allegations, saying it takes its obligations for incarcerated persons safety seriously. the court has consistently held that san francisco jails do not need to provide outdoor access in order to comply with the court's order. >> a new at ten tonight,
10:21 pm
milpitas police launched a new digital dashboard that makes it easier to check data reports within the department on this new interactive transparency portal page, users can access a variety of reports put together by the department. this includes their most recent annual crime statistics, reviews on diversity in the workplace, and information on officer misconduct. the quick stats up on the site now show the month of march with shoplift ranking as the top crime in the area. >> we're checking in with the weather. we had a beautiful, beautiful day today. guess what? tomorrow does the same thing and the next day there'll be a few more clouds. temperatures will hover in the upper 70s. low 80s like we had today. 80 in san rafael today. tomorrow is going to be about the same. a few more clouds, i suspect, and then more clouds on friday. but it's just high clouds. nothing inclement weather, bringing rain or anything like that. fogs really making an effort to form. i think we'll see some patchy fog along the coast these next few mornings. that should be the case and we'll continue onward
10:22 pm
as we get closer. well, not that far from the weekend. right now in this high pressure is dominating now. we looked at it last night and i said, oh, some of the models are going, this guy's staying for the entire month or the rest of the month. but right now it kind of looks like the middle of next week. there might be an opportunity for something which would be awesome. so maybe on wednesday next week we'll see a break in the pattern, which would be nice to get a little late season rain just because it kind of stalls out. fire season a little bit and a little more snow in the mountains. it never hurts. so the story tomorrow, like today, the story this weekend a little bit different. i'll have that coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right bill, thank you. breaking news coming up here after the break, the heavy police presence right now in the city of oakland. >> also coming up tonight, military aid could be heading to both ukraine and israel as well as gaza. we'll tell you about the long awaited bill just unveiled by house lawmakers. >> also, efforts to block arizona's controversial abortion ban have failed, but ome state laakers n

10:49 pm
these temperatures again tomorrow a couple low 80s maybe some a few more mid 70s around the bay or upper 70s. that kind of a thing. so it's going to be a nice day. fog trying to form at the coast as high as doing what it does. it's keeping us in a spring pattern. the winds are coming more northwest. that's an onshore flow that will help the fog form and i think the next few days, coastal fog. it will be a thing. if it's not already a thing at your house, it will be most likely by tomorrow morning or tomorrow night. the live picture shows no fog at this time. i bet you by friday night it shows fog at least that far inland. and then the clouds that we're seeing today are from this system. that's a big old system up there. and these are clouds. these higher clouds that are coming through are from systems that are not impacting us. the high is so strong and big and broad that it just everything kind of gets bumps up against it. it's like a, it's like a salad bowl upside down. okay pictured with that big let me go backwards i'll show you. so like if you took a salad bowl and just turned it upside down, this stuff kind of goes and it kind of squeaks over and some of
