this weekend, and next. the biggest impact will be on those who ride the fremont and dublin lines going in to san francisco. here is what you need to know. take your normal line, but you have to get off at the 12th street oakland bart station. and then you've got to transfer. that is the most important information you need. 12th street in oakland, transfer. you are looking at a ten-minute delay if you do this. if you miss that connection, you are facing probably a 20-minute delay. they think about 10 to 15,000 people each day will have the suffer through this. which sounds like a lot of people but it's the smallest number of people that they could hit with this, since it's in the overnight hours on holiday weekend and again next weekend. that is underground. above ground, you're not immune to this. you have problems, too. bay bridge. caltrans will shut down some of the eastbound lanes from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. saturday and sunday. caltrans needs to reconfigure its new eastern span in the oakland

police officer. we can expect new video to come out today. terry mcsweeney is live at the hall of justice with the latest, terry? >> the new video is expected to show what the old video allegedly shows. that is, police behaving like criminals. according to the public defenders office. take a look at the video released three weeks ago. that came out of the public defender jeff adachi's office. it is expected to result in 26 drug cases dismissed today at the hall of justice. they could be refiled. keep that in mind. the video allegedly shows officers stealing a laptop and camera bag. jeff adachi saying that there was a perjury involved. excessive force. illegal searches. but the police union president said the district attorney dismissing 26 cases does not mean officers are guilty of anything. >> as a union, we're forced to get them attorneys because there is allegations. the attorneys are obviously going to tell the cops hey you can't comment on the cases. you're under investigation. so of course they're going to throw the cases out. >> our office is now

reviewing over 6,000 cases involving these police officers and other officers who are involved in conducting illegal searches. so this is big. this is huge. >> adachi on the attack, releasing a video at 1:00 this afternoon. we just heard, reviewing thousands of cases look for police breaking the law. the videos coming out today. new accusation of theft and illegal search. and police report that do not match up with the video. the first thing, 9:00 this morning, we're in court. a couple dozen drug suspects expected to be released. then at 1:00 this afternoon, whole new set of videos. live in san francisco, terry mcsweeney, abc7 news. >> all right, thank you. 5:05. san jose's police union is claiming the city failed to ask for all the money it could have from washington to save police jobs. the deadline to apply for funding from the federal government cops program passed on wednesday. san jose applied for funding to pay the salaries of ten

officers. the union believes the city manager could have applied to save 53 jobs. >> so the city manager's office goes ahead and makes a decision without even consulting with the councilmembers. and the last time i checked, i always thought councilmembers were the ones that made the important decisions within a city. >> the problem with these grants is they require local funding. a local match. and we can only afford so many. that is a question of how much money we can come up with to cover the local share. >> mayor chuck reed says the grant from the 53 jobs would have required the city to spend $15 million in matching funds. and reed says the city just doesn't have that money. oakland police are hoping surveillance video they released will help catch the four men that killed a local gardener. look here. torres was working on the front of a home on 34th avenue when the four men approached him. police believe they argued and one of the men shot and killed torres. they may have robbed him as well. some witnesses say torres

was shot in the back. police describe the four men in surveillance video as persons of interest. bart is buying more tasers to equip each officer with his or her own device. they currently have 60 tasers. bart officers say owning a taser would increase familiarity and confidence in the weapon. they say the taser is needed as a less than lethal option. bart has a troubled history with the taser in 2009. former bart police officer johannes mehserle shot and killed unarmed passenger oscar grant at the fruitvale bart station. mehserle testified he mistook the taser for gun and he didn't have proper training. a central california chemistry teacher is in jail on charges of storing explosives in her classroom. 34-year-old jeffia honduras was arrested at her home in merced county town of atwater yesterday. she is held on $500,000 bail. 1100 students were evacuated from livingston high school after the teacher led
