Hazel Reed fills her gas tank at the Midway Shell station. After weeks of watching prices fall, she noticed painful change in prices Monday.

"It's ridiculous," said Reed. "I just don't know what it is doing."

What it's doing is going up. Prices went up 8 cents since Friday, with a San Diego average on April 20 of $3.18.

And Reed knows what happens when prices go up.

"You can't go out of town. You can't even take trips or out to dinner," said Reed.

"It used to bother me but not anymore," said Marilyn Love who was stopping to fill up her Lexus. "Because it happens all the time, so why get upset by that?"

Alex Hernandez follows the price of gas. A year ago gas prices in San Diego were up more than a dollar a gallon.

"Well you just know it's being manipulated and I don't like that," said Hernandez.

When it comes to paying more at the pump, drivers realize prices go up and down, but when do they think it's gotten out of hand?

Reed said it's bad above $2.95. But Hernandez told NBC 7, "I'm happier at $3 versus $4."

There are 5,000 miles of sidewalks in the city of San Diego, and all too many can be unsafe for strollers, joggers, cyclists and skateboarders.

Who should pay for upkeep and repairs – not to mention medical bills, if someone's hurt?

Other California cities target property owners.

Right now, under San Diego City Council policy 200-12, homeowners and landlords share the cost of fixing "trip hazards" with the city.

But it's not a formal law, and a council committee is looking at potential new options.

In San Jose and Sacramento, city governments disclaim any legal responsibility.

NBC 7 took the issue to street level Monday in the Stockton district, where – at the intersection of 30th and K Streets -- we quickly found stretches of sidewalk that seem anything but user-friendly.

"I come through here every morning sometimes 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, and that can be a hazard, a safety hazard,” said longtime, nearby homeowner Ricardo Donaldson, staring down at a broken stretch of asphalt on the southwest corner.

“So I don't know, between the owner and the city,” Donaldson added hopefully, “I would like to see it fixed.”

Just across the street was a sidewalk upheaved in two places by tree roots from a large, leafy side-yard tree behind the wooden fence of a house to the east -- just waiting to snag the wheels of a baby buggy, maybe a skateboard, or the feet of some schoolkids in a big hurry leaving the King-Chavez Academies.

For law-making purposes, we heard this suggestion from James Wright, who lives near the intersection of 31st and J Streets: “I think it should be 75-25 (percent) … 75 from the city and 25 from the homeowner. My property is damaged. I'm willing to pay for it and get it fixed.”

Wright, a resident of the neighborhood since 1948, lamented the prospect of a future doctor, lawyer or president being paralyzed or brain-damaged by a serious fall on a substandard sidewalk.

”The thing about people now, it's all about suing somebody,” he told NBC 7. “But if you fix it, you can't sue anybody."

Any other ideas that City Hall might put on the table?

"There's one that's been advocated by a professor at UCLA for a long time,” offered Voice of San Diego staff writer Liam Dillon, who’s extensively covered city infrastructure issues, “that as a part of selling your house, there's a point of sale where fixing your sidewalk is a condition of selling your house. So if you do that, you will insure that sidewalks ultimately get fixed. But obviously, that's something that the realtors aren't going to like."

There may, however, be other acceptable options without provoking realtors or lawyers.

Long Beach subsidizes fixing the "worst" sidewalks and curbs in all council districts.

Would voters approve San Diego doing the same, as part of next year's planned “mega-bond” ballot measure?

Council discussion begins Thursday afternoon at City Hall, when the Infrastructure Committee takes up the issue -- and the results of a $1 million, first-ever assessment of city sidewalk conditions.

The Chula Vista Elementary School District quietly approved the negotiation of a project labor agreement for future uses of $90 million in voter-approved bond money, as well as mello-roos funds, last Wednesday.

A project labor agreement (PLA) is a pre-negotiated, collective bargaining contract that sets uniform rules about pay and health care, typically for a specific project. It often requires construction contractors to sign union agreements as a condition of work.

Wednesday’s action requires those labor agreements for all future bond money expenditures, including $14 million issued in February for the modernization of three school sites: Ella B. Allen, Hilltop Drive and Vista Square Elementary Schools.

The item, which was originally included in a lengthy consent calendar, passed 4-1 with trustee Marissa Bejarano opposed. It was pulled off the consent calendar after several requests for discussion from the public.

School district spokesman Anthony Millican said the item was modified after considerable public comment on both sides. That modification included the addition of mello-roos funds, which are locally controlled special property taxes, to the mandatory project labor agreement.

The $90 million in general obligation bonds were approved by voters in November 2012 to provide funds to renovate and modernize facilities and improve technology at 31 of the school district’s oldest schools.

The bond measure passed with support of the San Diego County Taxpayer’s Association, an organization that advocates for fiscal responsibility within public agencies, with the caveat that the school district would not employ a mandatory PLA for the awarding of those contracts.

Reached by phone Monday evening, the San Diego County Taxpayer’s Association Mark Leslie called the board’s actions Wednesday “an inappropriate overreach.”

“It’s creating an uneven playing field that does not assure the best value for the dollar,” Leslie said.

According to the agenda item, the board approved the district to negotiate the PLA specifically with the San Diego Building and Construction Trades council and related unions.

Tom Lemmon, business manager of the SD Building and Construction Trades, said he doesn’t understand why the taxpayer group would be upset.

“When you think about it, all a project labor agreement is, is a delivery method for on-time, on-budget projects,” Lemmon said. “And it creates local hire for the community so that the people who are actually paying the bond will get to work on the project.”

In 2010, 56 percent of Chula Vista voters approved a city-wide ban on project labor agreements for public dollars. The Chula Vista Elementary School District is a separate municipality located within the same area.

Gov. Jerry Brown subsequently signed into law a 2011 bill that overturns locally-imposed blanket bans on the union-friendly pacts by cutting state funding for specific projects in municipalities that have imposed bans.
 

U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi paid a visit to Naval Base San Diego Monday as she seeks to get a closer look at the needs of the U.S. Navy.

The San Diego stop wraps up Pelosi’s three-week international trip, which included stops in Japan, Korea and Guam.

The California Congresswoman wants to assess the Navy’s requirements as it rebalances resources in the Pacific, positioning 60 percent of its fleet in the world’s biggest ocean.

“Coming full circle as to how we are repositioning toward Asia, re-balancing toward Asia and our role that the state of California places in that, and of course the role that our military and all the services play,” said Pelosi.

She joined fellow U.S. Representatives Susan Davis and Scott Peters -- both of whom are on the Armed Services Committee -- along with Congressman Juan Vargas, who represents the district where Naval Base San Diego is located.

They met with Vice Admiral Thomas Rowden, the commander of the Naval Surface Forces, as well as representatives of the Fleet and Family Services, which assists Navy families.

The focus was on the needs of the Navy moving forward, the possibility of sequestration toward the end of this year and other budget issues.

"The issue of sequestration is one that everybody was in agreement on," said Pelosi. "We cannot go down that path again. We have to stop. We have to come to some other kind of budget agreement because that is not in furtherance of our national security."

With Fleet and Family Services, the politicians talked about better opportunities for spouses. The military group wants to make it easier for military spouses to qualify for certain jobs through federal requirements that would be valid state to state. Standard teaching credentials would be an example.

“If our sailors out at sea think that there is something wrong at home, they can't perform their jobs,” said Danielle Grayhart, a Navy wife and Ombudsman. “They rely on us and Ombudsman and Fleet and Family Services so they know there is somebody their families can go to to have their backs.”

Following the meetings, Pelosi and the Congressional members toured USS Coronado, one of the Navy's newest combat ships.
 

State lawmakers are trying to rework a bill that the San Diego Police Department administration says would prohibit its officers from looking at the video before they write their reports.

The state assembly will be considering Assembly Bill 66 this spring, but SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman told NBC 7 if Assembly Bill 66 passes in its current form, it would discourage the use of cameras.

“We're seeking the truth like everyone else. It's important we use this piece of evidence,” Zimmerman said.

Right now, San Diego police officers are permitted to view the body camera footage before filing their reports on an incident. The chief said it's no different than reviewing their notes for accuracy.

If passed as written now, AB-66 would eliminate that practice.

“If there is any restriction that our officers are denied access to view the video prior to writing the report, yes I would oppose it,” Zimmerman said.

Bill proponents say it's not meant to discourage or encourage; it’s designed to catch bad cops.

Not every detail of an incident is seen in body camera recordings, so defense attorney Gretchen von Helms argues corrupt officers could use that to their advantage.

“You would want them to always be truthful, but if they haven’t seen it and they think they might have been captured on video, they will be truthful about what happened,” Von Helms said.

Von Helms joins other defense attorneys who are arguing for passage of AB-66. She told NBC 7 recalling from memory actually bolsters police credibility.

“You are going to be omitting everything else that could also be important later on because you are only going to write down what the video captured,” von Helms said .

Opposition from law enforcement sent the bill's author Assemblywoman Shirley Weber back to the drawing board.

A spokesperson says the rewrite will permit police to view the recordings before writing reports, except in use of force instances where there is a death or severe injury.

Zimmerman recently reported to the San Diego City Council some startling results after the first six months of body camera use.

Some 300 cameras were deployed in the Southeastern, Central and Mid-City divisions -- areas where police get the most profiling and brutality complaints. In half a year, the number of complaints dropped 40 percent. The number of allegations within each complaint was reduced by 60 percent.

Between November 2014 and January 2015, the police chief said body cameras reduced the number of use of force incidents dramatically.

The number of times officers used their hands, feet and knees during an arrest dropped 47 percent, while the use of chemical mace dropped 31 percent. Zimmerman said those are the top two uses of force department-wide.
 

Pickleball and tennis are facing off before Coronado city leaders and it’s still too soon to say who will win or whether it will be a draw.

Pickleball is growing in popularity among the baby boomer population and locally is gaining steam in Coronado. The problem is the pickleball players are crowding the tennis courts there, causing tension with the tennis players.

Coronado City Council members will address at a meeting this month how to make room for the burgeoning sport.

Pickleball is similar to ping pong in that you play in a court and use wooden paddles. It requires less movement than tennis, making it especially popular among retirees.

Many cities in America have pickleball courts. In fact, the number has doubled since 2010 to nearly 10,000 courts.

In Coronado, which doesn’t have a pickleball court, it means players are flocking to the tennis courts.

“Coronado is really in the same position that other cities are going to find themselves in as the population ages,” Coronado City Councilman Richard Bailey said. “Here in Coronado, we really do have the perfect demographics for both sports, and so I think that’s why Coronado is going to be at the forefront of this issue.”

City officials said they plan to address the pickleball problem sometime in the next month. Whether that means funding a court or building one, it’s still too soon to tell.
 

A part of the Waterfront Park in Downtown San Diego will be closed April 27 to Friday, May 1 for maintenance. 

The popular weekend spot for families will be doing its annual maintenance work on its fountain systems.

During that time, workers will pressure wash and reseal the fountain basins. The jets are scheduled to restart Saturday, May 2 and run daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The rest of the park will stay open to the public.

The man killed while crossing State Route 163 over the weekend was an active duty member of the Army, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.

At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, 30-year-old James Michael Ginas III and another person tried to cross the northbound SR-163 near Friars Road on foot.

However, Ginas was struck by a car and died from blunt force injuries at the scene. His birthday was last week, according to the ME’s office.

The driver, who stayed at the crash site, was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The other pedestrian was not hurt.

CHP officials said they do not believe drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash, but the incident is still under investigation.
 

Officers pursued a reported stolen vehicle at high speeds through three counties before finally apprehending him near the Nevada border, the California Highway Patrol said. 

The pursuit started in Escondido on Interstate 15, just north of San Diego, where an officer tried to pull over a reportedly stolen black BMW sedan at approximately 1:30 p.m. Monday.

The driver fled, CHP said, and officers pursued him. It appeared that there was only one person in the car. At one point, the driver opened up the sunroof of the car and hung his arm out.

By 2:30 p.m., the driver was on the 15 Freeway north near Ontario in Riverside County, frequently exceeding speeds of 80 mph.

By 3 p.m. the pursuit was entering the Barstow area, in San Bernardino County. CHP began blocking exits so the driver could not leave the freeway, with the assistance of San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The suspect was finally taken into custody around 4 p.m.

The second day of her first 2016 campaign visit to New Hampshire found Hillary Clinton at another roundtable, this one at New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord.

Clinton says community colleges need to reinvent themselves and better market what they offer.

"It's one of the reasons why I really support President Obama's efforts to try to raise the visibility of Community Colleges and make it even more affordable for even more people to go," said Clinton.

Obama's proposal calls for community college to be free.

In contrast, Clinton expressed qualms over the trade deal the Obama administration is negotiating with Pacific nations.

Clinton's campaign previously said she would be closely watching efforts by the administration to complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Her comments Tuesday were her first on the subject on the campaign trail.

"We need to build things, too," she said. "We have to do our part in making sure we have the capabilities and skills to be competitive," while getting back to "a much more focused effort, in my opinion, to try to produce those capacities here at home."

Even so, she stopped short of rejecting the Trans-Pacific Partnership - an agreement opposed by many manufacturing unions.

The next stop for Clinton is the Concord home of 94-year-old Mary Louise Hancock, a New Hampshire Democratic Party stalwart who has hosted dozens of Presidential candidates in her living room over the years.

In keeping with Clinton's no media strategy, reporters were held at bay. And it's not just reporters frustrated by the lack of access.

"She is being insulated to the degree that she should not be as a candidate," said independent voter Brian Blackden. "We don't run campaigns in New Hampshire, never have, with one candidate from the party, and it's wrong."

The Clinton campaign doesn't disclose most of her stops - but Hillary Clinton is not difficult to find. Just look for the crowd of people, motorcade of cars and secret service.

Another stop, not on the public schedule, a visit with Democrats at party headquarters where Clinton is warmly supported - though the progressive wing of the party is listening closely and Clinton is responding.

Political analyst Dean Spiliotes says, "She's sounding much more populist, much more progressive. Wall Street supporters for now seem to be kind of okay with that . They see it as a strategic choice that she has to make."

Besides free community college, Clinton now supports same sex marriage as a constitutional right and she is talking about limiting "unaccountable money" in politics.

San Diego County has voted to implement Laura's Law, a measure that will allow counties to request court-appointed outpatient treatment for people with severe mental illness.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the implementation plan with a 3 to 1 vote. Chairman Bill Horn opposed the measure and Supervisor Ron Roberts was absent.

"It saves lives and that's what we're hoping to do here," said County Supervisor Dianne Jacob.

Laura’s Law would impact those people with severe mental illness that have a history of refusing to accept treatment and who have recent history of psychiatric hospitalizations, incarcerations, or threats or attempts of serious violence toward themselves or others. Those patients would be compelled by court order to take required medications and receive treatment if they pose a danger to themselves or other.

"It will be an immense, and immense improvement. Because they would have someplace to go to get help, and it's the helplessness that is so frustrating," said Harold Wachs, a Laura's Law advocate.

It is similar to a voluntary program currently in place in San Diego County called the In Home Outreach Team, which allows for voluntary treatment for similar individuals.

Laura’s Law was passed into state law in 2002.

People experiencing mental health challenges can access services by calling the County’s 24-hour, multi-lingual Access and Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240.

San Diego residents can help raise money for local food banks, and not just through monetary donations.

With one in six Americans fighting to put food on the table, Feeding America has started a campaign to raise awareness and give food donations to those in need.

Just in San Diego alone there are more than 435,000 people who live with food insecurity, but there are three easy ways for the community to help feed those in need.

Walmart has agreed to donate $10 for every social media post with the hashtag “We Spark Change,” or #WeSparkChange. Participants need to take a picture that includes six friends and post it to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram along with the hashtag and challenge others to do the same. Walmart will donate up to $1.5 million for this campaign on behalf of its member food bank.

This time of year is when food supplies are often running low. More than 2.3 million children in the country are living with empty stomachs, so with these simple acts of kindness that number can be lowered.

If you would prefer not participate in the social media campaign, there are other ways to help. By purchasing one of 240 food products at Walmart, food suppliers will donate a meal to a local food bank for every item purchased. Walmart customers also have the option to donate at the register at checkout, which will also support a local Feeding America food bank.

The Veteran Museum & Memorial Center in Balboa Park will step back into the 1940s this weekend as a music-filled, classic pin-up show takes the spotlight.

“Pin-Ups on Tour” – a 21+ live show featuring dancing pin-up performers, comedy, variety acts, lounge singers and raffles – is happening Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 p.m. at the Veteran Museum.

Vets and active duty personnel can see the show for free. All others can pay $20 for general admission to the show. Twenty percent of proceeds will go toward benefiting hospitalized veterans and deployed troops.

According to “Pin-Ups on Tour” producer Julia Reed Nichols, the show is a throwback to 1940s glamour girls and military service members.

“Our goal is to recreate the magic of the Hollywood Canteen that operated during the 1940’s as a club offering dancing, drinks and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas,” said Nichols.

The group recently performed in Los Angeles. The “Pin-Ups on Tour” event began in 2014 and since then, the organization has been able to donate more than 500 tickets to shows to vets and active duty service members. Funds raised through the performances have gone to veteran hospitals across the nation.

The show is part of the Pin-Ups for Vets non-profit organization and also made possible by Do Right! Industries.

The Veterans Museum & Memorial Center is located at 2115 Park Blvd. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday for this event. Tickets can be purchased here.
 

The owner of a barbershop who was killed at his Oak Park business last year suffered at least 16 gunshot wounds, including many to his head, a detective testified in court Tuesday.

A preliminary hearing began in San Diego for Peter Johnson, 50, and Ian Guthrie, 39, two men accused in the deadly May 9, 2014, shooting of Lamar Canady, 32, at the Official Cutz barber shop at 54th and Redwood streets. Both were bound over for trial Tuesday.

Canady, who owned the shop, was inside his business when a suspect walked up to him and opened fire. News of the shooting spread quickly in the community, causing an uproar among residents. As police investigated, concerned residents flooded the streets in search of answers.

After the shooting, San Diego police released surveillance photos and a video to the public in hopes of tracking down the suspects.

Johnson and Guthrie were arrested in connection with Canady’s murder in late August 2014. Johnson was arrested in Kansas City, Mo., and later extradited to San Diego. He has been held at the Vista Detention Facility since September on $10 million bail on a first-degree murder charge. Guthrie, also charged with first-degree murder, has been at the South Bay Detention Facility on $5 million bail.

According to the victim’s aunt, Canady was well-known in the community, described as an “ambitious, smart, funny, witty” man. He left behind a wife and four children at the time of his shooting, including a newborn baby girl.

A San Diego Police Department homicide detective was the first witness to take the stand at the suspects’ preliminary hearing. He recalled grisly details of the murder scene and how police found the victim after the shooting in the barber shop.

"I did notice there was a great deal of blood at the crime scene," Det. James Jones testified. "And it appeared that he had a number of injuries to his head."

The victim’s mother, Lucy Canady, visibly overwhelmed with emotion, walked out of the courtroom in tears.

“I had to leave out of the courtroom because I couldn’t take it anymore. I just kind of broke down,” she told NBC 7 outside.

Lucy said all she wants is justice for her son -- a man she says just wanted to do good in his community.

“He was just trying to be somebody and get somewhere in life,” she said. “His dream was to get the barbershop – do things in life.”

When seeing the suspects face-to-face the mother said she couldn't help but wonder why this all happened to her son.

“It’s something I really can’t explain. It’s just a hurt feeling,” Lucy added.

She said Canady's killing has been really hard on his children.

According to investigators, one of the suspects was at a nearby liquor store just before the shooting. That suspect's DNA was found on a beer car and was later used to link the suspect to the crime.

More than a dozen of Canady's family members attended the Tuesday's court proceedings.

Little Italy will be covered in color and art this weekend as the 31st Annual Mission Federal ArtWalk hits the streets.

The popular, free outdoor arts festival is happening both Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with more than 120,000 people expected to enjoy the art vendors, live music and interactive, art-focused activities.

ArtWalk spokesperson Angie Lasagna said the street fest will span 17 blocks between Ash and Grape streets with more than 350 booths for attendees to peruse. Many of those artist booths will line India Street. A special KidsWalk area will keep the little ones entertained with 13 interactive booths.

Organizers say the ArtWalk activities will help support the mission of ArtReach San Diego, the non-profit organization that takes art workshops into San Diego County schools, offering free programming to schools with no resources for art education.

On both days, the event will boast a lively musical line-up along different stages scattered throughout Little Italy. For the full line-up of performers, click here.

A man who died after being tased by U.S. Border Patrol agents in San Ysidro is being remembered through the creation of a quilt panel.

The family of Francisco Cesena will create a quilt to represent their loved one and 170 others in order to raise awareness about border militarization and accountability.

In December 2014, Cesena was walking through the San Ysidro Port of Entry in south San Diego when agents recognized him as being armed and dangerous.

After detaining and patting him down, authorities allegedly found heroine on Cesena and later discovered he was wanted on a felony warrant.

Following his detainment, Cesena allegedly attacked two officers. To control him, officers used a Taser on him, which led to his death. He became unresponsive and was pronounced dead less than an hour later at Sharp Chula Vista Hospital.

Since Cesena’s death, family and community members have rallied along the San Ysidro Port of Entry to demand justice for him. California Border Patrol officers said in a statement they only had the intent to arrest the suspect, not to kill him.
 

A San Diego resident’s work was on the shortlist to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

UC San Diego music professor and Qualcomm Institute composer in resident Lei Laing was one of three finalists for the 2015 prize with his piece "Xiaoxiang," which was announced Monday.

The concerto for alto saxophone and orchestra, inspired by China’s Hunan Province where the Xiao and Xiang rivers intersect, missed out on the prize. Julia Wolfe won for her folk-classical hybrid oratorio "Anthracite Fields" about coal miners.

Liang wrote the concerto to commemorate a tragic event that happened during the Cultural Revolution in China.

"A woman's husband was killed by a local official," Liang said in a statement. "Without the means to seek justice, she decided to take revenge on the official by wailing like a ghost in the forest behind the official's residence every evening. Months later, both the official and the woman went insane."

The composer used electronically altered sounds to mimic the ghostly wailing. Throughout the concerto, Liang re-synthesizes electronic sounds through an orchestra.

John Xorn’s The Aristos was also a finalist.
 

A University of Central Florida student was shot by officers with a Taser after going on a shirtless rant during an apparently bad LSD trip, an incident caught on police body cameras.

John Cain, 21, had pulled the fire alarm at UCF's library Sunday and ran outside yelling for help when fellow students tried to calm him, WESH reported.

"Sit down and stay calm dude," one student said, in cell phone video taken by one student. "Sit down in the grass and calm down, bro."

"Where am I," Cain responds, before becoming violent with the other students.

As the students waited for campus police to arrive, witnesses were heard on the video saying Cain told them he took LSD and needed help. He also kept removing his clothing.

When officers arrived, body cameras showed them confront a shirtless Cain, who put up a brief fight before he was shot with the Taser and taken into custody.

He was taken to a nearby hospital, and it was unknown if he'll face any charges.

Police officials said Cain told them he took LSD. They said there were no serious injuries.

"The mission of the UCF Police Department is to provide and maintain a safe environment,” said Deputy Chief Brett Meade. "In this case, officers recognized a student in distress and used their training to professionally diffuse the situation with his well-being and the safety of other students in mind."

A California woman whose cellphone was snatched and kicked by a deputy U.S. Marshal while she was recording law enforcement officers detaining several people plans to file a civil rights lawsuit against the officers and the city, her attorney said Monday.

Beatriz Paez said she feared for her life when an armed marshal threw her cellphone and stomped on it and kicked it Sunday while she was out for a walk in South Gate.

She said she saw several officers from various law enforcement agencies pointing their weapons at the heads of several people lying on their stomachs on a lawn with their hands behind their backs.

She said that when the marshal approached her she only had a few seconds to react.

"I thought he was going to beat me up," Paez said. "He yanked it and then he threw it on the ground. He stomped on my phone with his boots several times until he destroyed it."

She managed to salvage the phone's subscriber identification module and is trying to recover the video. The confrontation was caught on a 53-second video taken by someone from across the street and posted on YouTube.

Paez's attorney, Colleen Flynn, said she plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit.

"There was some police activity going on," Flynn said. "My client was in no way interfering with that police activity. As long as you're not interfering, you absolutely have a right to film police in public."

Officials from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are reviewing the video.

The incident took place as officers from multiple agencies responded to a report of a biker gang meeting at a bar in South Gate, sources confirmed to NBC News Investigations.

The Carson City Council on Tuesday cleared the path for a proposed stadium that could become home to the NFL's San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.

The 3-0 vote Tuesday by the council marks a significant step forward for plans to lure the NFL back to the Los Angeles area after a two-decade drought without a team in the nation's second-largest media market.

In the Council Chambers packed with NFL fans, a steady stream of speakers urged the council to move ahead with plans for the stadium, and not bother waiting to put a ballot measure before voters – the same fast-track Inglewood took for its proposed stadium.

Mayor Albert Robles said he hopes NFL owners meeting tomorrow get the message that Carson is ready to go.

The Chargers and Raiders announced in February they were  working on a joint proposal to build a 72,000-seat stadium at Del Amo Boulevard and the San Diego (405) Freeway in Carson. However, this is dependent on them being unable to strike deals for new facilities in their respective cities.

A major step was taken toward getting the NFL stadium built in Carson after a petition was delivered to city hall last month. While 8,041 signatures were needed, the group Carson2gether managed to get almost double that number.

Going through the initiative process allows the project to avoid lengthy and expensive environmental reviews.

In addition to the stadium, the latest project would also include a 350-room hotel, 850,000 square feet of commercial, entertainment and other uses, and a minimum of 10,000 parking spaces.

According to a staff report to the Carson City Council, the Chargers-Raiders stadium proposal would not require any city funds for "construction, overruns, maintenance or capital improvements." The report concluded that the stadium would give the city a "signature project."

The Inglewood City Council has already approved a plan by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke to build a stadium at the former Hollywood Park racetrack site.

Members voted unanimously on Feb. 24 to approve the 80,000-seat stadium. Despite this, the Rams have not announced any plans of moving back to the Los Angeles area.

LA has not had an NFL team since 1994. Officials in Industry and Inglewood also are considering stadium plans.
