HOLIDAY TRAVEL. IN THE CASCADES, EVEN MT. HOOD
WE'RE GETTING SNOW NOW.
THIS IS GOVERNMENT CAMP.
THE ROADS ARE SNOW COVERED.
THAT KEEPS COMING.
AT SANTIAM PASS, THE SNOW HAS
COME THROUGH.
COME THROUGH. EVEN IN NORTHERN OREGON WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO MISS THE BULK OF
THIS STORM, THE CASCADES WON'T.
IT'S GOING TO BE SNOWY OVER
GOVERNMENT CAMP.
GOVERNMENT CAMP. PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND TOMORROW
WILL BE THE WORST OF IT.
IT'S THE SOUTHERN OREGON
SITUATION BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
BE A SITUATION DOWN THERE.
SNOW AND WIND INCREASING
TOMORROW MORNING.
TOMORROW MORNING. ROUGH TRAVEL, DANGEROUS TRAVEL
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
WINDS 30 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR.

THAT IS COULD LEAD TO THAT.
AS FAR AS PORTLAND GOES, WE

RAIN, SNOW SHOWERS LATE
TONIGHT, TOMORROW MORNING.
BUT NOTHING STICKING IN THE
VALLEY.
VALLEY.
VALLEY. WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS
UNSCATHED.

>>> WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES
AND THE WIND IN THE FORECAST,
THE CITY OF PORTLAND HAS
STARTED TURNING OFF THE BENSON
BUBBLERS.
BUBBLERS.
BUBBLERS. THEY'RE TRYING TO AVOID SAFETY
HAZARDS FOR PEDESTRIANS ON THE
SIDEWALKS.
SIDEWALKS. THE BUBBLERS AT WEST BURNSIDE
AND SDPIFT ON THE WEST END OF
THE STEEL BRIDGE WILL STAY ON
FOR FOLKS WHO RELY ON THEM FOR
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. THE REST WILL BE TURNED BACK ON
WHEN IT STARTS TO WARM UP.
>>> POLICE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS
THE STATE WILL HAVE TO MAKE
CHANGES NOW AFTER A RULING FROM
THE OREGON SUPREME COURT.
IT LIMITS WHAT OFFICERS CAN ASK
DURING TRAFFIC STOPS.
>> IN 2015, FOR INSTANCE, MAN
WAS PULLED OVER FOR FAILING TO
SIGNAL.
SIGNAL.
SIGNAL. HE ENDED UP BEHIND BARS WHEN
THEY SEARCHED HIS CAR AND FOUND
DRUGS.
DRUGS.
DRUGS. MORGAN ROMERO LIVE AT THE STATE
SUPREME COURT IN OREGON.
MORGAN, DEPARTMENTS JUST
FIGURING OUT WHAT THEY NEED TO
DO WITH NEW TRAINING, THINGS
LIKE THAT.
LIKE THAT. >> Reporter: RIGHT, SO WE
CHECKED WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, FOR
THE MOST PART THEY TELL US
THEY'RE EVALUATING THE RULING
AND SEEING WHAT CHANGES IT
MIGHT REQUIRE.
MIGHT REQUIRE. SO WHAT THIS NEW RULING WOULD
DO IS IT BANS OFFICERS FROM
ASKING QUESTION THAT IS ARE
CONSIDERED UNREASONABLE OR
UNRELATED TO THE REASON THEY
PULLED YOU OVER WHICH IS A
MINOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION.
>> Reporter: UNTIL NOW,
OFFICERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN
A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP INTO A
PROBE.
PROBE.
PROBE. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE STOPPED AND
SEARCHED AT DISPROPORTIONATELY
HIGHER RATES.
HIGHER RATES. JOSHUA KROUTER HAS BEEN TRYING
TO FIGHT THE PRACTICE FOR
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. >>
YEARS. >> IT'S A GROUND BREAKING
OPINION, ONE THAT WE'VE
LITIGATED FOR DECADES AND I
HOPE TO SEE THAT TREND
NATIONWIDE.
NATIONWIDE. >> Reporter: KROUTER
REPRESENTED MARIO, WHO WAS
PULLED OVER BY BEAVERTON POLICE
FOUR YEARS AGO FOR FAILING TO
SIGNAL.
SIGNAL.
SIGNAL. DURING AN UNAVOIDABLE LULL
WHILE HE WAS LOOKING FOR HIS
REGISTRATION, THE OFFICER ASKED
ABOUT WEAPONS OR DRUGS AND
ASKED TO SEARCH HIS CAR.
MARIO SAID OKAY AND THE OFFICER
FOUND METH AND ARRESTED HIM.
BUT KROUTER ARGUED THE OFFICER
VIOLATED HIS CLIENT'S
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. >> UNDER THE OREGON
CONSTITUTION, THOSE SORTS OF
INVESTIGATIONS, CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS, CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, NEED TO BE
JUSTIFIED.
JUSTIFIED. WHICH MEANS IF THE STATE IS
GOING TO INTERFERE WITH YOUR
RIGHTS AND SEIZE YOU, STOP YOU,
WHETHER IT'S FOR A TRAFFIC STOP
OR SOMETHING ELSE, THEY HAVE TO
BE ABLE TO POINT TO FACTS ON
THE RECORD TO SAY HERE'S WHY WE
DID IT.
DID IT.
DID IT. >> Reporter: THE OREGON SUPREME
COURT RULED IN HUSBAND FAVOR,
DECIDING IT'S UNLAWFUL FOR THEM
TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE STOP
AND FISH FOR SOMETHING
CRIMINAL.
CRIMINAL.
CRIMINAL. PORTLAND POLICE IS ONE OF MANY
LOCAL AGENCIES REVIEWING THE
RULING.
RULING.
RULING. >> WE HAVE MADE OUR OFFICERS
AWARE OF THE NEW CASE LAW, BUT
WE'RE UNDERTAKE AN ASSESSMENT
TO SEE IF WE NEED TO MAKE
CHANGES IN OUR TRAINING OR
POLICIES.
POLICIES.
POLICIES. IT IS SUPER EARLY ON.
THE CASE LAW JUST CAME OUT.
SO IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME FOR US TO DO A THOROUGH
ASSESSMENT TO SEE WHAT AREAS WE
MIGHT NEED TO ADJUST.
>> Reporter: HERE'S AN
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE.
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE. WHEN POLICE PULL SOMEONE OVER
AND THEY HAVE REASON TO SUSPECT
SOMETHING CRIMINAL IS GOING ON,
THEY CAN STILL ASK QUESTIONS
ABOUT THAT CRIME.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY PULL
YOU OVER AND THEY SMELL ALCOHOL
ON YOUR BREATH OR YOUR EYES ARE
BLOODSHOT THEY CAN CERTAINLY
ASK IF YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING.
>> GOOD DISTINCTION.
THANK YOU, MORGAN.
APPRECIATE THE REPORT.
>>> SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE
THERE'S BEEN A REAL OLD
FASHIONED JEWEL HEIST TO TELL
YOU ABOUT, BUT THIEVES IN
GERMANY MADE OFF WITH PRICELESS
SXRULS FROM THE GREEN VAULT IN
DRESDEN.
DRESDEN.
DRESDEN. IT TOOK JUST MINUTES.
IT'S DARK, FLASHLIGHTS FLASHING
AROUND THERE.
AROUND THERE. THEY SMASHED INTO A CASE AND
MADE OFF WITH DOZENS OF ITEMS
FROM AT LEAST THREE SETS OF
JEWELRY.
JEWELRY.
JEWELRY. INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING FOR
CLUES RIGHT NOW.
THEY THINK THE THIEVES MAY HAVE
SET A FIRE POSSIBLY TO AN
ELECTRICAL BOX TO AVOID
DETECTION AND THEY ESCAPED WITH
A HELP OF A GETAWAY CALL.
THE HAUL COULD HAVE BEEN WORTH
MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS.
>> WOW.
>> WOW.
>> WOW. >>> A HEALTH ALERT HERE TO TELL
YOU ABOUT.
YOU ABOUT. A SERIOUS STOMACH BUG IS
SPREADING THROUGH THE ALBANY
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IT'S GOTTEN
SO BAD THAT PERIWINKLE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLOSED FOR
THE DAY.
THE DAY.
THE DAY. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS HAVE
GOTTEN SICK AND SOME HAD TO BE
HOSPITALIZED.
HOSPITALIZED. ALL OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE
DISTRICT HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND
THEY'RE OPEN BUT THE DISTRICT
IS ASKING PARENTS TO KEEP SICK
KIDS HOME.
KIDS HOME. THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THE
SYMPTOMS HIT FAST.
THEY INCLUDE A FEVER 100
DEGREES OR HIGHER, BODY ACHES,
CHILLS AND A SORE THROAT.

TEAM IN SOUTHERN OREGON IS
TAKING TEAM WORK TO ANOTHER
LEVEL BOTH ON THE COURT AND
OFF.
OFF.
OFF. THE

BASKETBALL TEAM PARTNERED WITH
A NONPROFIT CALLED TOGETHER WE
RISE AND THEY BUILT BICYCLES
FOR LOCAL KIDS IN FOSTER CARE.
THE TEAM EVEN USED PART OF
THEIR OWN FUNDING TO PAY FOR
THE BIKES.
THE BIKES. THE COACH SAYS IT'S AN
IMPORTANT LESSON TO TEACH HIS
KIDS THE IMPORTANCE OF PAYING
IT FORWARD.
IT FORWARD. >> TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE BACK TO
YOUR COMMUNITY IS A BIG DEAL.
I THINK WE JUST TAKE IT FOR
GRAND.
