09-10-29 DAILY NEWS OF RICHARD FINE - ARREST AND BOOKING INFORMATION ARE NEWLY UNKNOWN....

Background

Attorney Richard Fine is held for over half a year, since March 4, 2009, by the Sheriff of Los Angeles in solitary Confinement. As was the case everyday in over two weeks, I called the office of the Sheriff, to ask to access to inspect and to copy the Arrest and Booking papers, as is my right by law.

The News for Today

1) The Sheriff's office is no longer claiming that they arrested and booked Att Richard Fine in San Pedro, as was previously claimed, and as was listed online in the Sheriff's Inmate information, which was false and misleading.

2) What was the foundation for the confinement?

The Sheriff was holding Att Richard Fine by REMAND.

3) Where and when he was arrested and booked?

There was no answer on that.

4) Requesting to access arrest and booking records?

The Sheriff's office stated that they practice full transparency. If I wanted to see the arrest and booking papers, I would have to get a court order for that.

Subject: Request for a note formally stating your position regarding arrest and booking of Richard Fine.

Dear Sheriff Baca:

I am grateful for your office staff help. Commander Liang told me today by phone, that your office is practicing a policy of transparency.
I therefore requested a clear statement as to:

1) Which agency arrested Richard Fine, where, and when?

2) Which agency booked Richard Fine, where and when?

3) What is the legal basis for his confinement by the Sheriff?

The information provided online as Inmate Information, is false and misleading. Today, Commander Liang claimed that the Sheriff holds and confines RICHARD FINE by REMAND, but he could not explain where, when, by whom he was arrested, and where, when, and by whom he was booked.

I request a clear written statement on the three questions above, which can be one sentence such as:

RICHARD FINE was arrested by____, on the date of ____ at the time of ____ in location _____, and was booked by____, on the date of ____ at the time of ____ in location _____, and his confinement by the sheriff is founded on ______.
