Narrative:

I got on line briefing. (Note: somehow missed tfr would be in effect later that day). First mistake! Flew VFR to L71. Went up twice in a king air to make skydives. First up to 10000 ft MSL, second up to 14000 ft MSL. From this I could see the WX clear to the shoreline. Therefore, I felt no need to call FSS and get a briefing. Second mistake! Took off from L71 and climbed to 5500 ft MSL. I started a descent between aqua dulce and lake hughes. Switched frequency to sct approach and heard a lot of squawk about lax and filing flight plans and getting a code. This was not normal operations for the area. Should have requested from ATC what was up, but they were so busy with other xmissions, I opted to not talk to them. Third mistake! Next I changed frequency to whp tower and stated, who I was at 3500 ft, over newhall pass, landing. ATC replied, 'do you have a code?' I replied, 'yes, 1200.' then he asked, 'sct did not give you a discrete code?' I replied, 'negative. I was not talking to sct.' at this point, whp asked if I was aware of the tfr. I replied, 'I guess not.' at this point, I knew that tfr incursion had happened. Then, ATC whp cleared me to land. I landed and while putting my plane in the hangar, a man came up to me and said, 'call these numbers,' and handed me a piece of paper. He did not identify himself. I called the numbers and gave them the information they wanted.
