AFTERNOON STORMS RETURNING

All eyes are on the tropics as Tropical Storm Ernesto gains strength.

It continues to move due west at a quick 21 MPH. It has sustained winds of 50 MPH, and winds gusts have been clocked at over 60. As of now all models keep Ernesto in the Caribbean, making landfall Wednesday around Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula as a CAT 1 Hurricane.

It will not have a direct impact on southwest Florida

There's another tropical wave that we're watching just south of the Cape Verde Islands. The National Hurricane Center is giving the area a good chance of developing into our next tropical system within the next 48 hours. The environment it's about to enter is very ripe for strengthening.

Yes, the tropics are beginning to fire… Right on time!

COLLIER INSURANCE FRAUD-LIVE

COLLIER INSURANCE FRAUD-PKG

Cars in canals.

Not something you see everyday.

But Friday morning someone spotted the trunk of this Volkswagen In the waters near Goodland.

Their first response.call 911

01:13 911 call

I happened to be going down and I see something sticking out of the water and I turned around and. And back and it looks like a Volswagon.

Turns out the person on this 911 call was right.

it was a Volswagon.

Fully submerged in the water.

Dive teams scrambling to make sure no one was inside.

59:08 Lt. Chad Parker CCSO

Law enforcement first response is the believe maybe they swerved to hit an animal or something or just fell asleep at the wheel and the car dove off into the canal.

Thankfully this car was empty.

But now deputies are trying to figure out how just this stolen car from Miami ended up here.

01:00:21 Parker

We'll be looking at indicators to see if there were indications this car was insurance fraud.

Lieutenant Chad Parker with the collier county sheriffs office says cars in canals are usually tied to some form of criminal activity.

57:42 Parker

Some are just because they steal it for a joy ride and then they dump it. Or it's stolen to commit another crime and they need to get rid of the vehicle and the last one which is the most popular one is insurance fraud.

And those fraud investigations usually start up once the water in these canals starts to recede.

57:15 Parker

Once a year we start to the water levels drop due to the dry season. That's when we start to see submerged vehicles in the canals by way of our helicopter flying over seeing the tips or if it's upside down the bottoms close to the surface.

And once they make their way to the surface deputies have a sure fire way to make sure the owner of the car isn't trying to pull a fast one.

CAPE TEN COMMANDMENTS-2 SHOT

SIGNED AND DELIVERED --

DICK KALFUS HAS BEEN ON A MORAL MISSION, TRYING TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS POSTED INSIDE CAPE CORAL CITY HALL.

"THESE PEOPLE" INCLUDE NEARLY 150 SOUTH FLORIDIANS. SUPPORTERS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS CAUSE, SIGNING THIS PETITION, ASKING CAPE COUNCIL TO HEAR THEM OUT.

-Kalfus-"If we can't trust the council to at least bring an issue of morality to a head then we can't trust them with anything."

BUT COUNCIL ISN'T THE ONLY GROUP THAT NEEDS CONVINCING. IN ADDITION TO THE VOCAL ATHIESTS WHO HAVE PROTESTED THE PETITION IN THE PAST. THE FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION IS ALSO SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE CONTROVERSIAL PLAN.

-Annie Laurie Gaylor/FFRF-"The 10 Commandments are biblical and first commandment alone is reason enough why it cannot be displayed in Cape Council. It isn't the business of Cape Council whether a citizen has a God, which God or how many God's. That's totally beyond the pervue of government."

COLLIER DEPORTATION-PKG

SEXUAL PREDATORS, GANG MEMBERS AND CAREER CRIMINALS IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY-

COLLIER COUNTY DEPUTIES TRAINED TO TAKE THEM DOWN.

THESE LOCAL DEPUTIES ARE FEDERALLY AUTHORIZED IMMIGRATION AGENTS WHO WORK WITH IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT TO IDENTIFY, DETAIN AND DEPORT DANGEROUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

22:38:05 these criminals that have already preyed on residents of collier county 16

IT'S ALL PART OF A DEPORTATION PROGRAM DUBBED 287 -

SINCE THE PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN COLLIER IN 2006--- 3,800 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DETAINED, 3,300 WERE DEPORTED.

A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO MAKING COLLIER COUNTY SAFER ACCORDING TO SHERIFF KEVIN RAMBOSK.

22:40:30 for our community it has been very successful

THAT SUCCESS HASN'T BEEN SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JANET NAPOLITANO SAYS THE UNPRODUCTIVE 287G TASK FORCES HAVE FAILED.

1:03:09 the program is expensive and it doesn't work the way congress intended

NOW THE DEPARTMENT IS PLANNING TO PHASE OUT PART OF PROGRAM AND REPLACE IT WITH THE 'SECURE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM'--

FOCUSING ON FINDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AFTER THEY'VE BEEN ARRESTED.

1:02:15 one of the things we have done to replace those ineffective 287g task forces is the great expansion of secure communities in the jails themselves, the program where we refer fingerprints both to the criminal database and the immigration database."

SHERIFF RAMBOSK SAYS GETTING RID OF THE TASK FORCES IS A MISTAKE.

22:39:12 the secure communities would only consider them once they're arrested for another crime and we'd rather be proactive than wait for them to commit another crime 22."

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

AFTERNOON STORMS RETURNING

All eyes are on the tropics as Tropical Storm Ernesto gains strength.

It continues to move due west at a quick 21 MPH. It has sustained winds of 50 MPH, and winds gusts have been clocked at over 60. As of now all models keep Ernesto in the Caribbean, making landfall Wednesday around Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula as a CAT 1 Hurricane.

Yes, the tropics are beginning to fire… Right on time!

Of course keep it locked to NBC2 for all your tropical updates this hurricane season.

When it comes to our local weather… Expect the usual to return.

Partly sunny skies will be back in the forecast this weekend with afternoon storms setting up each afternoon along the sea breeze. The more robust sea breeze will come through on Sunday which could spark some strong storms.

This type of weather continues through midweek, but next weekend draws closer we'll see more sunshine than rain.

Highs will be in the lower to mid 90s, and it will very muggy!

FOR A CRIME. HE DIDN'T COMMIT.

JAMES BAIN WAS CLEARED OF RAPING A YOUNG BOY IN 2009--

D-N-A FROM THE *CRIME WAS ON FILE-AND IT DIDN'T MATCH HIS.

Sheriff Bill Cameron 8:37 if it doesn't get funded, that's a great science to have, but if it doesn't get funded, then that defendant will not have the opportunity to be exonerated potentially with DNA evidence. :47

CHARLOTTE COUNTY SHERIFF BILL CAMERON IS ONE OF 25 CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS WHO SPENT TWO YEARS ON FLORIDA'S INNOCENCE COMMISSION--

PUT IN PLACE THE YEAR AFTER BAIN WAS RELEASED.

Sheriff Bill Cameron:49 to provide for fewer wrongful convictions.:52

THE COMMISSION DISBANDED AT THE END OF JUNE--

DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING BY THE STATE.

CAMERON SAYS-- *THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE OF THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM--

Sheriff Bill Cameron 3:25 improper funding leads more to wrongful convictions than any other part, any other one thing we could point to in the justice system. :33

FROM POLICE CARS TO COURT PROCEDURES--

THE COMMISSION FOUND EACH PART OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN FLORIDA IS UNDERFUNDED.

THE COMMISSION FOUND SALARIES FOR LAB TECHNICIANS AREN'T COMPETITIVE--

AND EQUIPMENT TO TEST D-N-A IS EXPENSIVE.

Sheriff Bill Cameron 9:25 this is an uphill battle. this isn't anything that we can say, oh the legislature will fund this next year. :30

THE COMMISSION LEFT A LIST OF FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LAWMAKERS--

INCLUDING CHANGES TO THE WAY EVIDENCE IS HANDLED AND HOW PUBLIC DEFENDERS ARE PAID--

AND SINCE MOST REQUIRE MORE MONEY. CAMERON WORRIES THE COMMISSION'S WORK MAY BE OVERLOOKED.

Sheriff Bill Cameron 8:55 to be quite candid, I don't think it will fall on deaf ears, I think they'll fall on deaf budget ears. :01

Pam Seay- Professor 20:37 will it be put to good use? I would hope so. :39

ATTORNEY *AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSOR PAMELLA SEAY SAYS THE RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE PUT TO USE *FIRST--

IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Pam Seay- Professor 17:15 their report is a good one, but we need to incorporate that into what law schools teach and to add that to the continuing legal education programs. :27

THOUGH THE COMMISSION CAN'T TURN BACK TIME FOR EXONEREES LIKE BAIN--

*BOTH HOPE THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL *EVENTUALLY PREVENT OTHERS FROM WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS.

Sheriff Bill Cameron 10:03 it may be 2018 when we end up having those discussions. :06
