Initial interest in the case management system of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arose
following the jailing and hospitalization of two senior attorneys, who had filed complaints pertaining to
allegations of corruption of judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court. One of them, Richard Fine, has been
confined under coerced hospitalization for over 10 months. In parallel – Los Angeles Sheriff, Lee Baca,
refused to allow access to California Public Records, which were the arrest and booking papers of the two
attorneys. Instead, his office repeatedly referenced false and deliberately misleading data published on the
online Inmate Information Center.
Previous data surveys demonstrated that about 30% of the entries in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department Inmate information Center had no booking number available. It further showed that about 50%
of the entries had fictitious court and/or case number listed as the legal authority for their jailing. Data surveys
for common latino names such as “Jose Martinez”, “Jose Rodriguez”, versus common “anglo” names such as
John Smith or John Williams, also suggested that latino named inmates were more likely to be missing a
booking number or listed with other false data.
Here, such data were further analyzed by accessing the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department listing of
inmates from two alternative sources: The VINE system, and the Inmate Information Center, and by
comparing the results of the same queries from the two systems.
The differences were of surprisingly large magnitude:

Results of such analysis was claimed to demonstrate that upon investigation it was very likely to be found that
large-scale false arrests and false jailing were prevalent in Los Angeles County, California. The evidence
demonstrated that such practices were patronized by the courts. Additional evidence demonstrated widespread
corruption of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles – relative to real estate and financial
institution fraud. FBI and the US Department of Justice refused to investigate allegations and overwhelming
evidence of widespread corruption of the Los Angeles County justice system. It was therefore proposed that
international observers should attempt to access public records in Los Angeles County, California, and further
explore what appeared as large scale false jailing – direct extension of the Rampart scandal (1998-2000).
Conditions of the justice system in Los Angeles County, California, may also require immediate approach to
International Human Rights courts.
