Sounds like it. I wish more people were like this.
From what I’ve seen, most judges are pretty straightforward with that shit. A couple are annoying about it, but it’s mostly the police force that pulls shit like that, and sometimes the prosecution as well.
Something about the police strikes me as odd. If a judge can stay uncorrupted by power, why cant police? Assuming that this is the reason for their actions.
The problem isn’t straight-out corruption.
It’s wonky incentivation.
Judges that are not measured by how many people they send to jail will always be, on average, less trigger-happy than cops who are.
I can see how this would make it worse on average.
Unfortunately judges can be corrupted too. They can accept bribes to rule favorably and their clerks can charge unsolicited fees to lose files or giving access to judicial decisions before they’re scheduled to release.
Absolute power currupts absolutely.
Although I get that it is possible, I dont think it is as common as police force corruption is.
