Unlock it. That means the fbi can keep trying until they get it. With the latest move, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Community to gain access to encrypted technology, to aid in their criminal investigations. While they have publicly complained about the stumbling block before, this is an unprecedented move to try to compel a company to help them, essentially hack their way in. At issue is the iphone used by syed farook. He is one of the shooters in the San Bernardino attack that killed 14 people. The fbi has his fund that have not been able to gain access in the two months since the mass shooting. I understand privacy issues. I get that. 99. 9 of the public will never have their phone seized by Law Enforcement and have a search warrant written for it. People have to realize that. Assemblyman jim cooper is a seven kills and a democrat from elk grove who has authorities bill to require manufacturers included encryption method in their smart phones. A similar bill is being put forward in new york and on the national level, senator Dianne Feinstein is working on legislation with the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Chairman richard heard richard berg which could require encrypted data under a court order. Theres also opposing legislation like the encrypt act, federal bill introduced by congressman ted lieu to protect Encryption Technology and block state bans and mandates for decryption methods. Apple ceo tim cook says apple wilmot helps the fbi because he issue is bigger than this. He wrote an open letter to the public explaining why, saying the first problem of the court order would require apple to build a new version of the apple operating system that, once installed would allow them to recover data on the phone. Cook writes the fbi may use different words to describe this tool but make no mistake, building a version of ios that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. While the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, theres no way to guarantee such control. Cook says there is no precedent for this kind of request. It would ultimately weaken security. He adds the government is asking apple to pack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements to protect our customers including tens of millions of american citizens from sophisticated hackers and cyber criminals. He continues, doing so would hurt only the wellmeaning and lawabiding citizens who rely on Companies Like apple to protect their data. Criminals and bad actors will still encrypt using tools that are readily available to them. Cook opposing the court order isnt something he takes lightly, writing while we believe the fbis intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products and ultimately we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect. Today in the 4x4 we are taking four minutes during the 4 to examine this legal battle now shaping up between apple and the fbi. Jeffrey blatt joins us via skype. He has a business and Technology Law expert. Thank you for joining us. My pleasure. We just saw mr. Cook use the term backdoor a couple times. Isnt it really the court asking apple to create not a backdoor but a custom code that allows the fbi to get into that iphone without triggering the 10 strikes and the phone is what protection mechanism . Its a matter of semantics. Certainly, the reader order attempts to be as narrow as you would expect. The orders directed to the suspects specific phone and trying to require apple to provide reasonable inference to bypass or disable the auto erase function. Of course, if you read tim cooks open letter, he characterizes it as a backdoor. Because his position, and i think there is some merit to this, is that if you try to define any type of code for one iphone, it will work on all the other iphones as well. Once you put that wedge in, effectively you have compromised security. So jeffrey, there is already a court order out there now and apple and tim cook have said no, were not going to follow which. So the next step is another court. They are going to appeal it. Can you see as a local expert here, a law expert, can you see the defense on both sides of the argument with the government trying to access would could be crucial information . And then also what apple is saying, trying to protect everyone else out there . Sure. If you look at both sides, both sides have merit in their arguments but i think whats important to consider here is there is no specific federal legislation that requires Tech Companies in the United States to build in backdoors. The government is attempting to use what is called the all writs act and although its been tried in the past, the bottom line is absent specific legislation, really theres not any real way to compel companies to build these backdoors in. Im sorry to interrupt, but would it be different if that backdoor already existed . As opposed to them having to build one . Would that be different . It could be different. The reason is because if there is already a backdoor in the software or in the device, then the court and there is lots of precedence in the Telecommunications Area for this, by the way, that the court could order that a Company Provide information that is on a device or as part of an Electronic Communications system and to utilize that backdoor but thats not the case. What about the phone . It belonged to someone who is now dead, who the fbi says was a terrorist practice that come into play at all . There is all this talk about creating this backdoor, however you want to call it, would be disastrous for privacy but arent we essentially talking about one particular some belonging to one particular individual . Actually, my understanding is that the phone is owned by the county of San Bernardino and if you really look at it, theres really no expectation of privacy in the data on that phone. Because it was owned by the county and the county give consent for the search of the phone. Got it. Whats next . Are we going to see this go to the Supreme Court . How long of a battle could this be and what does this mean for the next case . The next attack . The next Murder Investigation . Does this now set the precedent for this kind of request . Whats going to happen is under the order, apple has five days to reply. And im assuming apple will request that the order either be withdrawn or significantly curtailed. Now, if the Court Decides not to withdraw the order or does not curtail it in a matter manner satisfaction to apple some of the and the department of justice could seek a motion for contempt and if apple is found to be in contempt, apple would have the ability to appeal the order to the ninth Circuit Court of appeals in San Francisco. How long of a time when here do you think until we get to that point . If we even do get to that point. Hard to say but i would imagine the most likely scenario is that once apple is found in contempt, they will do an immediate appeal to the ninth circuit. How long the ninth circuit will take to hear the case and make a decision is anybodys guess. It could be a while. Jeffrey blatt business and Technology Law expert. Thank you so much for your time. You are very welcome. We have also posted a link to tim cooks letters. Its on ktvu. Com. You can read it for yourself right now. Just click on the web link on the homepage.

I think its great when you have pitchers and catchers reporting but then all of a sudden you see your second baseman, your shortstop and others starting to filter in as joe said before they are actually required to report.

The year of the monkey has arrived and now the Chinese New Year parade is just days away.

In recent days, its been easy to forget we have been in the middle of an el nino weather system that we are and still to come, we hear from federal officials meeting right here in the bay area today as we look ahead at what el nino has to offer. Coming up in our out of the week, a new way to make Birth Control more affordable and accessible to women. This week as looked nothing like the el nino winter weve been monitoring and tracking heading into the season and without some recordbreaking temperatures but keep this in mind. Winter isnt over. The rain isnt gone for good. At least not yet. In the weather center, mark milo. I know there was fear the last two weeks or so bad we are still and mentor. We still have a lot of winter. Ive been hearing conversations of people going to the beach with temperatures in the 70s and 80s i will say this el nino so far has been the opposite of what has been advertised with a typical el nino set up. Southern california was supposed to pick up the brunt of rainfall this season. This is the seasonal rainfall since july. Just approaching 7 inches in kiva. Is there one number that jumps out at you . Its been the opposite. Northern parts of the state have picked up the most significant rainfall so somewhat of a reversal with the typical el nino pattern. Its hard to say longterm but in terms of average rainfall for the month of march, santa rosa typically picks up over 4 inches of rain and just about 3 inches for San Francisco and oakland. We will see how that verifies. We could have above average rainfall and as we mentioned the want to have still very young. We still have march and april. The twomonth march and april, in terms of forecasting can be the most challenging because thats when you get those very cold storms, and possibly strong thunderstorms. Just hold tight. Officials from fema and the National Weather service have been meeting here in oakland to discuss the states preparation for the el nino commissions. Lets get more from tom vacar. Reporter i want to show you something. This is pretty amazing. This is what i front really looks like. You see the gray clouds but then you go over here and this front just passed over as. The winds are very high and theyve been able blustery and this front is definitely moving in. In january, we were of 114 of normal for precipitation but then came this months dry spell. Thats not best back into the high 90s. So, sensing that the public may be wondering, the federal Emergency Management agency and the National WeatherService Called the media in to say february dramas is normal for strong el ninos and we can expect more rain, especially in march. As we head into early march, it does look like the stormtrac sort of goes back to more of a common el nino pattern where we have improved chances for storm systems to move into more of california. Thats going to help us improve this snowpack. We do still have the potential to see improvements through precipitation, through storm system tracking more across the state during the month of march. Reporter thats the reason to consider flood insurance. In seconds, flash flood can do massive damage. And that would be uninsurable without flood insurance. Reporting live, tom vacar. A question for you. Did fema seem a bit surprised with the current el nino because of why this is a typical compared to the one in the 80s and 90s. Reporter one of the things they said if they measure water temperatures back in the equatorial pacific every three months and they say the last three months, their latest measurement shows el nino is actually declining. That doesnt mean we are going to have rain and all that stuff but they say that the temperatures are on the decline and they do expect that could possibly move storms out of the Pacific Northwest in extreme Northern California, eureka and all that down to where it more likely should be over as into the sierras themselves. Thats what they are saying. We will see what goes on but as you know better than anybody, this is a very tough thing to predict. Yeah, especially immediately a front approaching. The one has been increasing as well. Can kind of security nor microphone. Reporter its blowing out here real well. We will talk about that system in a few minutes. Thank you for your update. Make sure you are following our weather team on ktvu. Com and twitter and facebook for the very latest. The Chinese New Year parade is saturday into San Francisco and this year, we are celebrating the year of the monkey. We are always a proud sponsor and we will breed be bringing it to you live like we do every year. Julie haener and Ben Fong Torres will be hosting the event. This is my 16th year and his 20th year. We are family. We go way back. I will ask this of both of you. What is it like to be able to attach to such a tradition here in San Francisco for so long . What is that like . Its a special moment. Is a special and proud moment for San Francisco. There so much history attached to it. Ktvu has been broadcasting this event since 1987 and this goes way back to almost the gold rush times. I was there for that one to. Thats how far back i go. Do you look for to this every year . Oh yeah. Its never the same. For me, its a reattachment to chinese culture. I was born chineseamerican but i slid toward the american side of things. In 1997 when ktvu invited me to do this, it was a way for me to get engaged with a lot of things i have forgotten or never knew. And by being able to broadcasted like you do, do you see it from a different angle . Do you learn something new every year . Not so much anymore. I know pretty much all of the traditions and i know the answers to the questions but every year, theres always a surprise. Its a live twohour parade with 100 contingents. What could go wrong . And there are marching bands and colors. This year, some of the best floods we have seen in a long time. Its for people of all ages. Kids get so excited because they do their numbers, practice and get ready months ahead of time just to be able to be in this parade in its attempt largest parade of its kind in the world. And its a nighttime parade. Its all at night as you are seeing the pictures. Its one of the only parade that might be you can watch. Its something gorgeous to see and its really loud. Theres tens of thousands of firecrackers that go off at various points during the parade. You guys do such a great job broadcasting it. It looks so great on television. What would you say to people who have never been out down to union square or along the parade route were thinking about watching it on tv are going down there. Sometimes its 1015 rows deep. Its a get there early. It starts at second and market and ends in chinatown. Its a little different because of the construction. Its beautiful. If you havent seen it in San Francisco, go down and see it but if you cant watch it in person, we will broadcast live beginning at 6 00 on saturday night. Bring our family, bring your earplugs and have a blast. We are going to have 20,000 blasts to start the parade. Your favorite float is the ktvu cable car . Of course. I would say from being a child always from an oakland to watch the parade from oakland to watch the parade, the drill team and they are a delight with their mandarin opera outfits. My favorite part is the golden dragon. 268 feet long with a grand finale. Thats something to see. Perfect. Have a great broadcast on saturday. I will 00 by in the fox 2 cable cars ktvu cable cars. Turn on saturday for the southwest Chinese New Year parade in San Francisco. Coming up, the private information on 10 million california students is about to be collected and shared with a california court. That includes names and Social Security numbers. We will explain why its all happening and how you can if your child out. Lets take a live look outside of traffic. I 80 through berkeley, you will have some company today. The private information of 10 million california students including School Records is about to be released because of a lawsuit. Pam cook has more about how it all started with some bay area parents. Reporter parents in the Morgan Hill Unified School district filed a lawsuit arguing that the California Department of education doesnt do enough to provide services for special education students. However, to prove or disprove the case, student records will be reviewed. How us district judge has ordered all student records k 12 since january 2008 will be reviewed. The attorneys reviewing the records are required to keep the information confidential and after the case is settled, all the student information has to be destroyed or returned. However, that information could include Social Security numbers, addresses, test scores, disciplinary records, and even medical and Mental Health records. The fear is over how that information will be transmitted. Opening of the possibility for a data breach or leak. The Parents Organization has asked for the students identifying information left out of data given to attorneys to analyze but so far no response from court. Reporter the state Education Department has posted links for parents but theres a call for every School District and county office of education in california to let parents know about the case and how to opt out. We have a link on our website, ktvu. Com, to the Identity TheftResource Center where you can read more about whats at stake and also get the documents you need to fill out if you want your childs records to be excluded. Its not time for our app of the week. Today, its a San Francisco startup trying to make Birth Control affordable and more accessible to women. Its called more asked and their webbased apps is called norex and the web best webbased app allows limit order birthcontrol and have it delivered a few hours later. Lets talk about accessibility here in the United States versus other countries. Here you have to go to the doctor, get a prescription versus other countries free dont necessarily need one. Exactly. In over half the countries of the world, birthcontrol is overthecounter. You can go and pick it up. And a lot of other countries, its overthecounter so you can go to the pharmacy and explain why you need Birth Control and they will give it to you. Thats happening in california to and its a really Great Development but basically most women in the us who get Birth Control have to go to the doctor, get a prescription, take that to the pharmacy to get the drugs. The process takes a lot of time. In the doctors visit could often cost you as well. Lets talk about the inspiration for norex. My cofounder, edward, and i were exploring development in telehealth and all the exciting stuff happening there. You can get a video consultation with a doctor but that still takes the same amount of time for the doctor. It still takes the same amount of time for the user and videoconferencing can be really tough. We were talking and eddie was saying every friday night, i have a number of female friends who call me noi, my last pill in the pharmacy closes in 15 minutes. Can you just found in my prescription because i really need this. We started thinking how can we make that experience less stressful . How can we make that better and take all that stress away . So how does norex work . You go on to our website and choose a pill if you know which one you need to ask our doctors to pick one for you and we ask you a set of questions and fill in some health information, take a picture of your id and a picture of your insurance card and youre done. We send all your and shut input one of our doctors. Its a real doctor looking through your information and if you have any questions, they will respond to questions. If you want them to call you, they will call you but most of the time they write the script straightaway we ship it out from a partner pharmacy. What if you dont have insurance . If you dont have insurance, you have to pay for the pills but you dont pay anything more than with the Birth Control costs of the cheapest Birth Control we offer without insurance costs 14 a month. What about the delivery fees . We dont charge that. If you choose usps for shipping, its totally free. You can get it same day through were and we charge what they charge through uber and we charge with a charge for delivery. What you say to those who say you need to see the doctor first . We think this is a better experience. I got an email from a user yesterday that that this is so amazing because i felt that i could ask so many questions of the doctors through norex that i would never have been able to ask facetoface to a doctor. Thats really where we think this is so helpful. A lot of young women are scared when they come into the Doctors Office or their mom is sitting out in the hallway waiting and this gives you that much more comfort and you can choose this while you are in a safe space, be that at home or your friends house or your favorite coffee shop and a lot of these interactions are very stressful when youre sitting facetoface with a stranger and for birthcontrol, its completely safe to deliver it this way. All interactions are based on the cdc guidelines and we collect all the information the cdc says you need to have. You have doctors there as well to provide the prescriptions. , so its norex. Co. Correct. That information is also on ktvu. Com for people who need a link to get to that. The radar has green. Something we havent seen in quite some time. Yesterday it look like waikiki here. This is nice. I like the change. Its a nice change. We have clouds over the south they right now. Not too many showers but that will change over the next few hours between now and to 9 00. Here is the radar perspective. Here is the cold front watching closer to the bay area shoreline. In fact, we will trace that area for you. That area, that front will be the source of some tense rain this evening. The rainfall coverage has been increasing over the past few hours. Here is the north bay near santa rosa and napa. The coverage increasing to petaluma as well. Then, back to the maps to the south, west more and county and moran and output hercules as well, back to the south, not as much coverage except as you can see here come out for the coastal hills. Santa cruz county, parts of the San Mateo County coast as well and that coverage as i mentioned will be expanding over the next few hours. A wind advisory in place until 7 00 tonight. Some gusty conditions out there. Winds out of the south gusting to around 2530 Miles Per Hour across parts of the area. Headsup if you are crossing the bay bridge or san mateo bridge, those winds physically moving across the bridge. Here is that sfo wind gust of up to 35 Miles Per Hour. Speaking of wind, our camera looking toward jack london square. The flag getting a bit of a workout. When still a factor out there. System one moves in this evening and then another friday. Without thursday . We are still going to tracking some showers out there but lots of rakes in the activity. Into the shortterm, definitely going to notice the presence tonight. 5 00, mostly cloudy skies into San Francisco with a chance of scattered rain showers. Ive already noticed some rain showers in San Francisco. Look what happened at 7 00. Rainfall develops and intensifies and we could have a few thunderstorms across parts of the bay area. That wouldnt surprise me at all. 10 pm, showers likely. The main event tonight and then friday we will be talking about that other system moving in. Once this front moves through for tomorrow, we are going to have lots of breaks in the action. A cold pattern that cool air moving in from the pacific with a mixture of sun and clouds and the possibility of some off and on showers throughout the day. This will definitely be a snow producer up in the sierra. Its really warm right now. Isil light rains toward south lake tahoe. But up above, the higher terrain, talking amounts of 10 20 inches of snowfall and snow levels eventually coming down to around 40005000 feet later tomorrow. Here is our forecast model between now and 10 00. The yellow and red is heavy rainfall with the possibility of thunderstorms. Morning commute thursday, still some scattered showers throughout the day thursday morning. 11 00, the coverage may back off later in the day on thursday and then another round of some rain showers for friday. Temperatures for tomorrow, mainly in the upper 50s to low 60s. Most areas right around 600 with the possibility of a few popup showers. Get ready for tonight. The rainfall will pick up and redevelop into friday. It will be dry for the weekend. So for the Chinese New Year parade in San Francisco, no rain threat. I know we have lots of crews spending weeks and even months getting ready. They are always asking me two months out what its going to be like and i was a we will see. Frank somerville live with a look at some of the stories were working on for ktvu at 5 00. A bit of a scare for one man. A different story from north beach.
