Unlawful search and seizure warrants pertaining to activists' computers
Lory is best known for her blogs and direct action -- e.g., demonstrations in front of homes, where children, taken from their biological parents are housed prior to assignment to surrogates or adoptive parents.
In June 2014, two search warrant were issued against Lory, targeting her computers.
Figures 3: June 13, 2014 Judge Dana Amir sham /simulated search warrant against Lori Shem Tov. The search w arrant form was left incomplete: It has no court file number, and Judge Amir never marked, whether she granted or denied the police request for the search warrant... Her professional career includes service as a senior staff member in the Tax Authority Legal Counsel office, during the peak years of the Tax Authority corruption scandal. Former Attorney General, current Supreme Court Justice Menahem Mazuz, described the scandal as the closest to organized crime in high government offices...

Figures 4: June 18, 2014 Judge Shmuel Melamed sham /simulated search warrant against Lori Shem Tov. Also this search warrant form was left incomplete: It has no court file number, and the Judge never marked, whether she granted or denied the police request for a search warrant... Conduct of Judge Melamed was identical to that of Judge Amir. One should notice Melamed's professional career: He served in a senior position in the Israel Police Prosecution. In Israel, police prosecutes -- an anomaly in itself. Police Prosecution is a key agency in retaliation against social protest activists.

In response to Lory's complaint, pertaining to the use of invalid, sham search warrant, which was filed with Ombudsman of the Judiciary, Judge Amir claimed that the omission of court file number was an atypical error, or oversight. Ombudsman of the Judiciary decision (329/14) regarding Judge Amir's perverted search warrant found Lory's complaint "justified". [iii] An identical case, involving another search warrant against Lory, issued a few days later by Judge Shmuel Melamed, show s that Judge Amir's conduct was not an unusual error, or oversight.
In Judge Melamed's case, Ombudsman of the Judiciary refused to review Lory's complaint, calling it "cantankerous". The reason: Lory described the episode in her blog, and labeled the judge "negligent". [iv] The Ombudsman's decision in Judge Melamed's case only highlights the role of Ombudsman of the Judiciary as a glorified fig leaf. His decisions, whether a complaint a judge is "justified", or "unjustified" have little, if any consequence.
Figure 5 : Moshe HaLevy v State of Israel (Israel Police, Administration of Courts, and State Prosecution) (13113-11-08) in the Haifa Small Claims Court -- a. March 31, 2009 Public Service Employee 's Certificate (comparable to an affidavit ), file by the Tel-Aviv Magistrate Court Criminal Division Senior Coordinator Rachel Shiran. Ms Shiran's Certificate document s that search warrant requests are conducted with no court files at all, and are not entered in the Court's case management system. b. Sample of a sham/simulated index, used by police and the Tel-Aviv Magistrate Court for search warrant requests, which was filed as evidence with Ms Shiran's Certificate. It is a page from a sloppy, hand-written, barely legible, invalid notebook.

Moshe HaLevy, another activist, is best known for his computer pranks, ridiculing the fraudulent IT system of the Israeli courts and incompetent conduct of the offices of the clerks. For example, in a recent prank, he electronically filed a criminal indictment against himself. [v] Another recent prank (not by Moshe), which went viral -- a man filed a petition for a restraining order against god. [vi]
In what appears as retaliatory actions, police seized and searched Moshe's computers. Also in this case, the search warrant records were invalid.
