By FRED SHUSTER and JOSE HERRERA |Former City Councilman and Police Chief Bernard Parks was hit with an ethics complaint this week alleging he illegally used the seal of the City of Los Angeles and an image of his Los Angeles Police Department badge on a letter he wrote to the judge in the Mark Ridley-Thomas public corruption case.
Parks’ letter to U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer uses images of the city seal and his LAPD chief’s badge at the top of the page. In the letter addressed to Fischer, filed with the court on Aug. 17, Parks wrote that the prosecution’s recommendation of a six-year prison sentence “is too lenient.” The clerk’s communication to Parks states that in his letter to the judge, “the City Seal was used in a manner that does not meet a City purpose, per the LAMC. The City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Police Department reserve all of their rights with regard to their trademarks and trade dress.”
