Richard Fine: Fraud Alleged in Operation of Booking Terminals by the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department

Los Angeles, March 13 - Addendum [1] to Service Complaint SC#2262473 was filed with the Sheriff's
Department by Los Angeles resident, Dr Joseph Zernik, who alleged fraud in operation of Booking
Terminals in the County of Los Angeles, as demonstrated in the case of Attorney Richard Fine and
numerous other inmates in Los Angeles County. Moreover, the Addendum alleged that in denying
access to the San Pedro Booking Record of Attorney Richard Fine, the Sheriff's Department was
concealing the name of an individual Sheriff's Deputy who affected the false booking on March 4, 2009.

Attorney Fine was arrested, as reported by media, in the Central District Courthouse, in downtown City
of Los Angeles. However, the Sheriff's Department insisted on publishing online false records that
purported that Attorney Fine was arrested and booked by the non-existent Municipal Court of the City

of San Pedro. At the same time, the Sheriff's Department refused to allow access to the arrest and
booking records of Attorney Fine, in disregard of California Public Records Act.

In his Addendum, Dr Zernik alleged that the most plausible explanation for the facts in the matter of the
arrest and booking of Attorney Richard Fine was as follows:

• The Sheriff's Department used a dedicated network of high security Booking Terminals to
affect booking in the County of Los Angeles. Such network also created the database, which
was the Inmate List (Index of All Inmates). Such were high security terminals. They were
operated through login, which was based on the fingerprints of the Sheriff's Deputy or Police
Officer, who was authorized for a given terminal. The name of the authorized person, who
affected the booking, together with his/her fingerprints appeared on the Los Angeles Booking
Record, as did the name that the specific Booking Terminal.

• The Municipal Court of San Pedro ceased to exist almost a decade ago.

• At the same location today in operation was the Los Angeles Superior Court, San Pedro
Annex.

• According to the Sheriff's Unit at the Los Angeles Superior Court, San Pedro Annex, it had no
Booking Terminal registered under its authority. The Deputy Sheriff there denied that Richard
Fine or anybody else was booked there.

• It is alleged that upon investigation it would be discovered that the Sheriff's Department of the
County of Los Angeles, California, kept operating illegitimate Booking Terminals falsely
registered to this date under the authority of the former Municipal Courts, including, but not
limited to the Municipal Court of the City of San Pedro.

• It is alleged that upon investigation it would be discovered that such Booking Terminals were
used to affect false bookings and imprisonments, including, but not limited the false booking of
Attorney Richard Fine.

• Therefore, the Sheriff's Department insisted on keeping publishing false records online - that
Richard Fine was arrested and booked by authority of the Municipal Court of San Pedro, at the
City of San Pedro, even after the falsity of such records was repeatedly brought to its attention.

• It was alleged that the Sheriff's Department never deemed such Booking Records, issued
under the Municipal Courts, as honest, valid, and effectual booking records.

• Since the Sheriff's Department held such false Booking Records as invalid, the Sheriff's
Department refused to allow access to the Booking Record of Richard Fine, in disregard of
California Public Records Act.

• The false San Pedro Municipal Court Booking Record of Attorney Richard Fine would also
discover the identity of an individual Sheriff Deputy who should be held accountable for the
alleged fraud and abuse in such booking. Instead, the Sheriff's Department repeatedly
provided copies of the false records published online, which were unverified, and which did not
disclose the name of any individual involved. [2] (p5-8)

• Since the Sheriff's Department held the false Booking Records as invalid, the Sheriff's
Department provided the following response to Supervisor Antonovich: [2]
"The Public Record Act does not require that a public entity create a record in order to respond to a
request for information. The Act only requires that certain records, already in existence be made
available..." (p3)
Conditions relative to the Booking Terminals of the Sheriff's Department and the online Inmate
Information Center provide clear demonstration of the urgent need for publicly accountable validation
(certified, functional logic verification) of such systems that are a hazard for Liberty itself.
