A. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. B. Firearms may not be fired solely to disable moving vehicles. C. If feasible and to do so would not increase the danger to the officer or others, a verbal warning to submit to the authority of the officer shall be given prior to the use of deadly force. D. Warning shots are not permitted[ E. Officers will be trained in alternative methods and tactics for handling resisting subjects which must be used when the use of deadly force is not authorized by this policy. This policy is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the United States, its departments, agencies, or other entities, its officers or employees, or any other person. 'Department of Justice Policy Statement Use of Deadly Force (07/01/2004) in pertinent part (Language relating to Custodial Situations has been intentionally omitted pursuant to FBI policy. See, 66F-14Q-1312253, EC from the Directors Office to All Divisions, titled "REVISIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DEADLY FORCE POLICY', dated 07/07/2004). 2Not included in the above description is the policy relating to the use of deadly force to prevent the escape of a prisoner committed to the custody of the Attorney General or the Bureau of Prisons. Because Agents will seldom find themselves in a position to apply the custodial aspect of the policy, the FBI will adhere to the policy decision set forth in the Airtel from the Director to All Field Offices, titled 'Deadly Force Policy Matters,' dated 1/5/95, which states "A policy decision has been made that except in cases of prison unrest which would principally involve HRT and/or SWAT, FBI Agents should adhere to the policy and training principles governing the use of deadly force in non-custodial situations. 1 L_ EFTA00129403 07/29/2004 INSTRUCTIONAL OIM ,INF I.. INTRODUCTION The following general principles shall guide the interpretation and application of this policy: A. This policy shall not be construed to require Agents to assume unreasonable risks to themselves. B. The reasonableness of an Agent's decision to use deadly force must be viewed from the perspective of the Agent on the scene without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. C. Allowance must be made for the fact that Agents are often forced to make split-second decisions in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving. II.. DEFINITIONS A. "DEADLY FORCE": Is force that is reasonably likely to cause death or serious physical injury. B. "REASONABLE BELIEF": Is synonymous with "Probable Cause". It is determined by a totality of the facts and circumstances known to Agents at the time, and the logical inferences that may be drawn from them. C. "NECESSARY": The necessity to use deadly force based on the existence of a reasonable belief that the person against whom such force is used poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the Agent or other persons. D. "IMMINENT DANGER": "Imminent" does not mean "immediate" or "instantaneous", but that an action is pending. Thus, a subject may pose an imminent danger even if he is not at that very moment pointing a weapon at the Agent. For example, imminent danger may exist if Agents have probable cause to believe any of the following: 2 EFTA00129404 1. The subject possess a weapon, or is attempting to gain access to a weapon, under circumstances indicating an intention to use it against the Agents or others; a, 2. The subject is armed and running to gain the tactical advantage of cover; or. 3. A subject with the capability of inflicting death or serious physical injury--or otherwise incapacitating agents--without a deadly weapon, is demonstrating an intention to do so; or, 4. The subject is attempting to escape from the vicinity of a violent confrontation in which the suspect inflicted or attempted the infliction of death or serious physical injury. III APPLICATION OF DEADLY FORCE In assessing the necessity to use deadly force, the following practical considerations are relevant to its proper application: A. Inherent Limitation on Abilities to Assess the Threat and Respond. 1. Limited Time (Action v. Reaction) - there will always be an interval of time between a subject's action and an Agent's ability to perceive that action, to assess its nature, and to formulate and initiate an appropriate response. The inherent disadvantage posed by the action/reaction•factor places a significant constraint on the time frame within which Agents must perceive, assess and react to a threat. 2. Limited Means (Wound Ballistics) - When the decision is made to use deadly force, Agents have no guaranteed means of instantaneously stopping the threat. The human body can sustain grievous - even ultimately fatal - injury and continue to function for a period of time (from several seconds to several minutes) depending on the location, number, and severity of the wounds. The lack of a reliable means of instantaneously stopping the threat, may extend the time that imminent danger can persist. This factor further constrains the time frame within which Agents must respond to a perceived threat. B. Achieving Intended Purpose. 1. Deadly force may only be applied for the intended purpose of bringing an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to a timely halt either through the surrender of the subject or through physiological incapacitation. 3 EFTA00129405 S If the subject does not surrender, the only reliable means of achieving that goal is to cause physiological incapacitation of the subject(s) as quickly as possible. Attempts to do anything else - such as shooting to cause minor injury - are unrealistic and can risk exposing Agents or others to continued danger of death or serious physical injury. 2. When the circumstances justify the use of deadly force, Agents should continue its application until the imminent danger is ended through the surrender or physiological incapacitation of the subject(s). C. Consideration of Risk to Other Parties.

CASE NUMBER: 09-8308-LRJ hit if pre and e document on fde arenore, 'strict ' Dion ic I, the undersigned complainant, being duly sworn, state the following is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. From at least as early as January 18, 2007, through on or about November 3, 2009, in Palm Beach County, in the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere, the defendant, ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ, did corruptly conceal a record, document, or other object,.with the intent to impair the object's availability for use in an official proceeding and otherwise corruptly obstructed or impeded an official proceeding, in violation of Title 18 , United States Code, Section 1512(c) . I further state that I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that this Complaint is based on the following facts: Please see Continued on the attached and made a part here Sworn to before me, and subscribed in my prese upon my finding of probable cause. December 2009 Date LINNEA R. JOHNSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUD at West Palm Beach, Florida City and State Signature of Judi cer EFTA00129453 AFFIDAVIT I being duly sworn, do state and attest as follows: 1. I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and have been so employed for three (3) months. I am currently assigned to the Safe Streets Task Force, Miami Field Division, FBI Squad PB-2. Prior to joining the Miami Field Division, I attended the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, for five (5) months where I received training in federal criminal laws and investigation techniques, including the laws related to obstruction of justice. 2. This affidavit is based upon my own personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding the investigation, and information provided to me by other law enforcement officers. This affidavit does not purport to contain all the information known to me about this case but addresses only that information necessary to support a finding of probable cause for the issuance of a criminal complaint charging Alfredo Rodriguez with obstruction of official proceedings, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1512(c). 3. On October 27, 2009, agents of the FBI met with and interviewed a cooperating witness ("CW"). The CW reported that, while conducting discovery in a pending civil case before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, he came into contact with Alfredo Rodriguez ("Rodriguez"), who was a subpoenaed witness in the civil case. 4. Rodriguez had been interviewed by FBI agents on January 18, 2007, in connection with a federal criminal investigation into the sexual exploitation of minors. Prior EFTA00129454 to being interviewed by FBI, Rodriguez had also been contacted and interviewed by local police detectives, and had been asked to produce documents related to the criminal investigation. The civil litigation involving the CW related to civil damages claims made by victims of the criminal activity that formed the basis of the state and federal criminal investigations. 5. The CW explained to agents that Rodriguez had been deposed under oath on two occasions. The first deposition occurred on July 27, 2009, and the second deposition was conducted on August 9, 2009. In connection with those depositions, Rodriguez was served with a subpoena duces tecum that called for the production of several types of documentary evidence. The CW was present for both depositions and Rodriguez testified that he had no documents responsive to the subpoena duces tecum. 6. In August 2009, after the conclusion of the second deposition, the CW received a phone call from Rodriguez. Rodriguez informed the CW that he had additional information that he had not previously disclosed to any law enforcement agency or any of the civil attorneys. Rodriguez described the information as, the Holy Grail or Golden Nugget and explained that he had compiled lists of additional victims in the case and their contact information. Rodriguez explained that the information contained hundreds of additional victims and their phone numbers from diverse geographic locations, including New York, New Mexico, and Paris, France. 7. Rodriguez asked the CW to pay him $50,000.00 and, in return, Rodriguez would turn over the documents relating to the victims. In his initial and subsequent 2 EFTA00129455 communications with Rodriguez, the CW explained to Rodriguez that he was under subpoena to turn over such information and that it would be illegal for Rodriguez to demand money for turning over the information. Rodriguez persisted that he would only turn over the information in his possession in exchange for $50,000.00. 8. On October 28, 2009, in a consensually-monitored phone call, the CW telephoned Rodriguez. Rodriguez again indicated that he would not turn over the information relating to the additional victims without monetary compensation. Rodriguez was told that an associate of the CW would be in touch with him regarding the information and exchange. The associate that the CW referred to was, in fact, an undercover employee (UCE) of the FBI. 9. On October 29, 2009, the FBI UCE contacted Rodriguez via telephone. Rod
