If I could give you a hundred thumbs up for that statement I would.

[@ug333]

Absolutely!!!

[@DrummerJacob]

The police never claimed to see him using the phone. They only claimed to see him holding it. The statute read @2:51 says "Using a cell phone" means: "holding in a persons hand an electronic device WHILE viewing or transmitting data, playing games, composing, sending messages, etc. The police neither claimed it and the guy they pulled over denied doing it. Not sure how there's a case here. Regardless of the call, the stop likely shouldnt have happened. If the officer saw any usage of the phone, they would have IMMEDIATELY disputed the claim that the phone wasnt being used, but again, they never did, even once. The officer just focused on the judges defensiveness the entire time and never actually addressed the specifics of the stops or acknowledging the defensiveness and dealing with it directly. The officer made it worse by sitting there and repeating the same thing over and over "why are you being like that?" which literally does nothing, isnt specific and always gets you nowhere.

[@hsreG12]

He may have been telling the truth regarding him not using the phone and it just being in his hand, however this is a gross overuse of position and people need to not vote for this guy to be a judge again. I do agree with an investigation as well.

[@rickuyeda4818]

Perhaps not corruption but stupidity. What upsets we more is the stupidity of jurors. I was the Bailiff on a murder case where a husband stabbed his wife with a knife and killed her. The husband went to his daughter's room and told her to call 9-1-1, "I hurt your Mother". The suspect hired Leslie Abramson to defend him. The first day of trial, the entire Jury brought her book and wanted her to autograph them. The Judge admonished the Jury and told them to have no contact until the trial was over. I warned the Judge, "You should dismiss this Jury. There's no way they will find her client guilty because the like her too much". The Judge said, "I think they're smarter than that". The Attorney argued that the victim attacked her client and she fell on the knife. The problem? The victim had defensive wounds and the suspect had none. The victim was struck so hard with the kitchen knife, it went completely through her neck. When the Jury returned "Not Guilty", the Judge was so dumbfounded, he got off the bench and went into the hallway and screamed, "I'VE NEVER SEEN A DUMBER BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE!".

[@CorporateG0th]

@@rickuyeda4818 in this case I would call it corruption, because rather than a case of disinterest swaying in an irrational direciton, we're looking at a case of the proces being subverted in a very much concerted direction, starting with the LT ordering the officer to rescind the ticket. I know it took the officer a lot of guts to object to the extent that he did, but unfortunately that is not enough, but that is not on him. This is indeed a cultural problem if it starts with a judge and immediately trickles down to a PD LT, and he should not have to "risk his career" to do the right thing. Every time a hard line is drawn on this, the sketchy people who dabble in the gray will object, but ultimately they were the ones who would ultimately draw our institution into the black. I find it concerning this judge thought his cellphone ticket (what, $110?) was more important than the judicial integrity he harmed by racketeering like this, which is what it is. Were it in my hands I'd bring the hammer down on everyone in this picture save for the officer, in order to redeem the public standing and systemic reliability lost by their actions, and that officer shouldn't just be commended but cultivated, because we need more people like him in the right places.

Knock it off with the moral high ground. You can't expect a person to be 100% in control the whole time. He wasn't in the court. A judge is still human and is allowed an outburst from time to time as long as it is not within his professional attributes. The lieutenant however is 100% corrupt and is abusing her power to get on the judge's good side.

@@victorunbea8451 no, we do expect more from our judges, thats why they get to judge

[@nassermj7671]

UPDATE: 'Circuit judge suspended six months without pay, censured, fined for conduct following traffic stop'. Perfect ending

[@JD..]

The fact that hes shaking and honestly just look in his eyes he knows he is wrong 5:30 . that man should not be a judge if he handles such kind of situations like that. its a shame

[@bjvu9460]

probably just got done doing a fresh batch of cucaine or whatever else he was on and that power trip kicked in ... the cop could have booked him for driving on a expired license or force him to catch a ride home and tow his vehicle because thats what they do when the regular dumb citizen is caught slipping

[@PapaVanTwee5]

My question would be, what were you doing with your phone that you lost it in the first place? I don’t think he will be as quick with a lie after that.

[@MP-in4or]

How can anyone have an expired driver's license and just drive away? The corruption is unreal.

[@margueritecampese5939]

A regular CITIZEN having an expired license might've gotten their car towed away. I know of someone who was arrested just for their insurance on the vehicle lapsed.

[@spikefivefivefive]

Why should he get it renewed? He's a judge!

[@queenofthedamned5899]

An expired license is not the same as a suspended license. Usually an expired license would only be a fix it ticket. If someone is driving on a suspended THEN they would most likely impound the car

[@willieswolley7311]

@@queenofthedamned5899 ya but a couple months expired is bit much.

[@mikeandrews745]

Not really. Most people who’s license expires have no clue so no a couple months isn’t a “bit much”. if you haven’t been cited for it before the cop just gives you a fix it ticket. You get an updated license, show the cop and they drop it.

[@scottoman]

Officer: You know the law. Judge: So what. And that ladies & gentlemen are6 words which encapsulate our entire legal/judicial system.

[@timtonner946]

The burden is on law enforcement to establish that the judge was ACTIVELY using his cell phone. Without 100% certainty, he shouldn't havevoulled him over...

[@MellowAlchemist]

The JUDGE called the POLICE in real time to call in a favor to INTERFERE with a POLICE INVESTIGATION. DISRESPECTFUL AS WELL. WTF?! THIS MAN IS ALLOWED TO JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES? What a piece of trash in our society! Weed him out. Cancel this type of culture.

[@JamesDavy2009]

I'm surprised they didn't add obstruction of justice to his list of charges.

[@someguy7629]

He got caught shoplifting twice.

[@jerrypolete5258]

This is a clear sign of corruption and should be dealt with each of them being fired period!

[@Sh3r-Bear]

Agreed! The Judge should NOT have been able to drive away, period. He has no valid Drivers License & is driving anyway! In most states that’s an arrest-able offense. He fines people every day for the exact offense he’s committing. Above the law? 😠💯

[@gavinnewscum]

Corrupt kok sucking judge

[@jorgey4]

yea, the second you hear he phones it in with a cop on their off-duty and it works, it's as if this is some sort of cop drama you'd find on TV. textbook corruption.

[@Keepskatin]

@Jerry Polete I agree with the judge,this young punk cop is power tripping and all pigs are always on their phones

[@Khaleel85]

It’s funny how y’all ignore that fact he wasn’t using his phone, grow up

[@MartinAston00]

He actually should’ve been towed, he’s technically unlicensed. Someone with his short fuse and lack of self control should NOT BE JUDGING ANYONE ! ! Absolutely Disgusting this man sits on a bench 😡

[@douglasshortridge4343]

Normally the cops don't write a citation for expired drivers license. Many people just don't look at the date to see when they expire. They can write you a ticket for it, and can tow the vehicle. In this case with his attitude the 👮‍♂️ should have, but his supervisor told him not to write any citations. That's why you should always be cooperative and nice to the officers. Something 👨‍⚖️ Williams ego won't allow him to do.

[@elbolsillo]

I think he’s a starter. I don’t think he sits on the bench…

[@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893]

Yes absolutely. This whole shit show is a terrible boot in the face of fairness and equality. The only positive thing to come from this is the public firing of the judge and his chum bent lieutenant.

[@MartinAston00]

@@douglasshortridge4343 Why I said he should’ve been towed. I worked Patrol/Traffic 9yrs. I’m aware of the procedure. A lot of States, Expired = Unlicensed (especially when significant time has passed)
