Prisoners’ Log - Marin County, California – Glaring Deficiencies in Validity and Integrity

June 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, June 13 – Human Rights Alert (NGO) released a survey of the Marin County, California, Sheriff’s Department online Booking Log. [1]  The data provided in the Marin County online Booking Log was found far from meeting basic standards of integrity. Over half the records in a sample of prisoners were found lacking any reference to court records as the foundation for their imprisonment.  Moreover, reference was made in such cases to “Confidential Court Cases”.  None of the case lacking reference to court records were found to belong to minors.  Furthermore, no correlation was found between Jail IDs and Original Booking Dates of the prisoners.  Upon review of the court cases, in case which included such reference, all were found belonging to existing cases of the Marin County Superior Court.  However, the online index of the Marin County Superior Court, like the respective index of the Los Angeles Superior Court, included a disclaimer stating that it was not an “official court record”.   Such indices of the Superior Courts in California are alleged as invalid and cause for alarm regarding fraud in the courts, as documented in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Regardless, the Marin County Booking Log, while lacking in integrity and validity, must be deemed by far superior to the system of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, where previous surveys documented large number of false and deliberately misleading records, referring to non existent “Municipal Courts” as the authority for the imprisonments. [2]  
The total number of prisoners listed in the Marin County Booking Log was under 500.  If the Marin County log is indeed comprehensive, it is alleged that discrepancies in prisoners’ numbers held by the Marine and Los Angeles Counties Sheriffs are unlikely to be explained by the differences in the total population of the two counties.  The numbers in Los Angeles County are likely to be found extreme.
The Sheriff Departments inmate registration systems must be deemed vital for the safeguard of liberty. Such systems should be subjected to publicly accountable validation (certified, functional logic verification).
Validity of the Marin County system is dubious at best.  The Los Angeles County system is alleged as fraud, which enables large-scale false imprisonments in Los Angeles County, California.
The April 2010 Human Rights Alert’s submission for the first ever review by the United Nations of Human Rights in the United States alleged widespread corruption of the courts in Los Angeles County, California, the hallmarks of which are large-scale false imprisonments and real estate fraud under the guise of court actions.
