Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2006Traffic court judge fired for going over the top
Via fark.com: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2708884 "A judge who jailed 11 people because they were late for traffic court after being directed to the wrong courtroom lost his job Thursday, as the state Supreme Court ruled he was unfit to remain on the bench." <...> "Judge Sloop's indifference to the anxiety, humiliation and hardship imposed upon these 11 citizens reflects a callous disregard for others that is among the most egregious examples we have seen of abuse of judicial authority and lack of proper judicial temperament," the high court wrote in an unsigned opinion. The 11 had gone to court on citations ranging from driving with a suspended license to having an illegal tag. Sloop jailed the misdirected motorists although two other judges and a bailiff had told him they were not to blame. Another judge began paperwork to release them while Sloop was running an errand, but the motorists were not freed until they had been strip-searched and spent nine hours behind bars, the high court noted.

I would hope so. One bad judge down, a few thousand to go.

Were they or were they not late to court? In Judge sloop's eyes, they were late. Too bad his staff misdirected his "victims" to the wrong collection, er, court room. Though they were in the right time, they were in the wrong place. He held the "victims" accountable for his staff's incompetence. That's why he's justifiably being removed from the bench, and hopefully due to his incompetence he'll have to take endure a significant loss of pay.

The damnedest deal about this is a lot of judges are not even elected. Damned if ANYONE dare to question a judge's decision (sure, there's an appeals process, but no higher than USSC). The only thing that Congress can do without a SC jackslap risk is spend our money. And we wonder why the ragheads consider us a target. Land of the free...thing of the past.

I would rather deal with the potential of corruption from an elected judge than to deal with the arrogance and ignorance of a judge that can't be voted out. >Damned if ANYONE dare to question a judge's decision (sure, there's an >appeals process, but no higher than USSC).

Not to mention that the judge himself admits he was wrong.

In other words, they were misdirected (probablly on purpose) by the judge's staff and were late. Whassa matter, "george," the hitler youth meeting let out early?
