The charging records allege she made the searches last year, on April 30 and sometime between June 19 and July 2.<\/p>\n<p>Survine has not been arrested. She was given a formal notice of an April 27 court date and remains out of custody, court records show.<\/p>\n<p>A brief statement of probable cause, filed in court by an Oakland police detective to justify the charge, says only that Survine was interviewed about searches for \u201ctwo individuals\u201d and \u201cwas not able to articulate a legitimate right to know or need to know\u201d for them.<\/p>\n<p>The database in question is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2025\/04\/06\/kaiser-permanente-craig-chew-tony-jones\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System<\/a>, or CLETS, and gives police in-depth information about members of the general public.
