I was arrested many years ago and stood there listening to the proceedings at my arraignment then the judge asked if I had any questions. I politely requested my bail be reduced from $10,000 to $9999.99 since that was the threshold at the county jail for more comfortable housing and the one cent difference would make no difference in my ability to be bailed out. The judge asked why I should get the better accommodations and I said it wasn't so much the accommodations as it was that the lower security wing distributed 8 books per month per inmate whereas the higher security wing only distributed 2 books per month and I liked to read. The judge ordered my bail be reduced by one cent over the objections of the prosecuting attorney. Then the judge thanked me for informing him of the disparity of reading material access between the different tiers of cell blocks and said he would make an enquiry. Weeks later I stood before the same judge having just pled guilty and the judge declared his intention to sentence me to 2 years in prison followed by 5 years on probation. He again asked me if I had any questions and I politely asked if he would reconsider and eliminate the probation and I was prepared to do additional time in prison if need be. He said "Since you asked so nicely I will honor your request." He then changed the sentence to 2 years and one day in prison followed by no probation. I was released 9 months later with no further obligation to the state proving that if you present yourself well and are polite and have the right attitude you can improve your situation when speaking in a court.
The fact a judge can ruin you even if you are 100% innocent shows the power they have, and how they need a check on their power. Most Judges are Lawyers on the peak of their career and ego
Why dose everyone forget that major crimes outcome is determined by jury and not the judge? The jury determines guilt ,the judge gives the sentence according to what the law is. Judges don't write the laws. So their power is checked by lawmakers aka the state and federal government. You know that whole checks and balances system our government has is to keep any one entity from having too much power is there for this very reason.
@@joegon6278 The judge can hold a jury prisoner until it delivers a guilty verdict if its a hung Jury. Or swap them out for a more pliable group. Plus, if the jury hands down a guilty verdict, that gives the Judge supreme power to screw you, or to give you a light slap. For example, if I have a judge who is my buddy, he can give me practically no sentence, while a judge who is my enemy can lock me up forever if they so wished. It happens all the time, because the constitution got put through the shredder a long time ago.
@@joegon6278 Most people accused of a crime (around 80-90% if I remember correctly, could totally be wrong on that) end up taking a plea bargain instead of going to trial, which just eliminates the need for a jury and essentially allows the judge to have full say in what they want to do with you (given the min/max punishment ranges for the crime). Sometimes it can be very unreal. A good example is if you got caught with possession of an illegal substance. Let’s say, psychedelic mushrooms, for example. In the state that I live in, it’s a Class D felony to be in possession of that (less than 35 grams). That means that you could be sentenced 1-7 years for just simple possession of shrooms. If the judge wanted to, the dude could sentence you for 7 years over that small possession. Of course you aren’t actually going to serve the full 7, but the fact that it’s still possible to be sentenced that long for a non-violent, small possession crime is insane.
@@jstered 100% agree with you that some of the laws carry some over the top sentence ranges, but remember that those ranges are set by the state and federal government not the judges themselves, in most states though (like where I live) non violent crimes you only serve from 30% to 40% and even then those will often be reduced. If we don't like how laws are written we have to take it up with the lawmakers, that's how many states were able to make marijuana laws more lax because of people pushing to change the laws.

Fortunately I've never been in front of one of those power tripping, pretentious judges. Never understood how they are afforded so much respect when it isn't earned.
Judges have WAAAAAY too much unchecked power. They can literally take away months of your life because they get slightly offended by something you say or do. That's called cruel and unusual punishment, and the only thing you can do is lodge a complaint since they cannot face civil or criminal charges for what they do while in the capacity of a judge.
i know you nevver been to court cuz you can fight that and have another judge judge or if the law wasnt applied you can take it to a higher court soo its judge on power trip is jerks who are in COURT think they need to be respected
Whats funny is those guys that demand so much respect never give it back. I know a judge and he is probably the most obnoxious person I've ever meet. His wife is an ok person but when they get irritated they believe the ground should open and swallow building because its in their way.
I mean, there's zero reason to have to act so respectful towards a judge except tradition and the historical power and prestige associated with the position. They're regular people, government employees who are typically former lawyers. It doesn't make law more efficient to call them "your honor" like they're a 17th century British noble.
@@KGH3000 I mean you're right but in practical terms that's not how it goes. Plus a lot of federalist society losers got lifetime appointments and they really love the special treatment. It was pretty much the GOP's grand strategy to save themselves from prosecuting anyone in "the family" for decades and so far it's worked extremely well. Ugly fact is we're socially a lot further behind than what we're capable of understanding and engineering. Either get used to that and work with it or get your face stomped in. It sucks dick and that's the way of it. Every chance we had over the last 50 years to prevent regression failed.
It's hilarious how elevated the judges are supposed to be treated. Just a reflection of the corrupt judicial system. In an ideal world a person should be able to sit and speak to a judge without fearing they will be wrongfully jailed for life. This is disgusting
More like improving your chances in a few simple steps. In what part of life do bad manners actually help? Why would courtroom be an exception. Some people werent taught manners as kids so they act surprised when something is expected of them later.
It's really not. It's just being respectful like any other public or private formal setting. You wouldn't be rude to your boss. How is a judge any different. You're there to make a case in your favor, not show attitude.
@@ArnoldSig sitting while talking to someone? That's not considered bad manners in ANY other setting. In fact it's bad manners to expect someone to stand when you're sitting on a raised platform. Sounds like a monarchy
It's not horrific. So everybody can show respect in the courtroom and the courtroom can have some kind of order. These lawsuits can get everybody's underwear in a bunch and in order to make good informed decisions, there has to be peace and calm and logic
Being respectful is just basic decency lol respect them because its the right thing to do, they literally decide what to do with you. besides they usually get there for a reason, and there arent actually many egotistical maniacs around.
Or just get more cases through more quickly resulting in less tax burden for you. Wasting the courts time just costs the tax payer, doesn't cost the judge they get paid either way. Doesn't cost the lawyer, you're paying them... doesn't cost the prosecution, you're paying them. Just costs you and everyone you know. Hate to think what the costs per minute to operate a court are lol but tick tock, more smack you talk, more it costs.
Truth is, the ego of the judge. My friend graduated in the top 10 of his law class at the U of M, he told me you better hope the judge woke up in a good mood.
It's about keeping the judge as a figure of authority. All of those procedures are to keep the judge feel like the superior figure. If these procedures weren't there, a court room would look worse than a high school debate club
I mean I get it that judges are the upholders of the constitution and everything and yes, basic respect should be given- to everyone, but even then I feel they are overly treated like some sort of god and the fact that they can actually hold this grudge against you during the trial makes it worse.
They will not hold any grudge, not to them personally at least. When a judge work, he is not presenting himself anymore but the law. So when you disrespect them, you are disrespecting the law. By then, it's obvious that the law would not cut you any slack because it's clear that you did not take them seriously and will likely commit the crime again (assuming you are the criminal). Which make you deserve a few more year to a lot longer time in prison.
@LlEUCU. BEAU× well the people that elected a judge definitely expect them to do that so good luck, their job is to assert dominance of the law, meaning they have to be respected because they represent the law. So obviously, it's not about ego, it's about responsibilty to make the law to be respected
@@namekiz3199 yeah because a human has no bias and don’t get mad when they aren’t called by a certain title. Yeah the law sure does send people to prison because it doesn’t like them. Stop talking like every judge is a good person.

The idea that we need to call judges your honor is incredibly toxic and bad for the general public. Ego has the most potential for harm when it is carried by those with power. We desperately need to remove this as a norm.
All the people here blaming the judges… it’s about maintaining discipline in the court. Court is serious business, can affect someone’s life. It cannot be a zoo with informal addresses
Exactly. It’s a test of character. If you aren’t able to contain yourself in front of a judge, it means you shouldn’t be trusted with the general public. They’re trying to determine how much of a danger you are, whether you are fit for release into society. The system allows for this level of power because people who commit crimes have never seen this level of power or have never been held to this level of accountability before. It’s a big slap in the face when entitled people first realize that they don’t have autonomy over themselves. That’s what this is supposed to do.
Sounds like the judges have a problem. They come to deliver justice not to get their arses licked. Even if someone is rude and is innocent its the duty of the judge to be just or else he should leave, as he is incompetent of being just. Such a shameful thing to do.
The judge won't rule you guilty for pissing him off (at most hold you in contempt), but pissing him off isn't going to make your life easier. It's like going to the DMV and being rude to the employees, they'll still do their jobs but don't expect them to make your life any easier than they're required to. That said, not calling the judge "your honor" can be considered "rude". It's like not calling people "Sir/Ma'am" and would be improper in a formal setting.

@@glynnpowell7864and if the person is completely innocent or had a very frivolous case, is it still considered reasonable to give them more time? You're going off the assumption the "criminal" is guaranteed guilty and did something bad enough to deserve more time.

When I was younger I had gotten pulled over and some stuff happened anyways when I got to court I was terribly nervous at 15 and because of that I kept calling the judge ma'am thinking that I was being polite THANKFULLY I must have got a grandma or mother for a judge because every time I called her ma'am she smiled sweetly and reminded me it was your honor I'll never forget her even if I was in trouble
Never understood this justice system. Whoever hires the better lawyer(more expensive) is likely to win the case regardless they were guilty or not. Why do I have to pay a lawyer anyway to get justice? Really beats the whole purpose of a judicial system.
You don’t have to pay a lawyer. At all. Even in lawsuits, oftentimes lawyers don't even charge upfront that just take a percentage of your winnings. And sometimes even the most skilled lawyers choose pro bono work. Don’t diss a system if you don't understand it

When i was in the middle of the worst of my custody battle for my twins, and after two separate attempts by their birth mother to kill them during supervised visits, the judge made a ruling that if my ex could pass a drug test, she would get full custody, i loudly, and angrily, called him a 'hateful, brainless, sorry ass excuse of a human being'. We ended up getting another judge, after that one told me i was unfit for full custody because 'drug addict mothers are still safer than single fathers'. My lawyer was able to use that statement as proof the judge held a bias against me for being a father and not a mother. My outburst was in the end, helpful, by eliciting that response, but this was, int he words of my lawyer 'pure dumb luck'.
Oh my god that's absolutely horrible, im really glad you won that, I'm actually shocked that they help a bias against you, and decided to go with the mother who tried to KILL them, just because your the father, I'm so sorry you had to go through those 7 long years. Drug addict mothers are still safer than single fathers!? Yeah you're right, he really was a hateful brainless sorry ass excuse of a human being.
I would not follow any of these rules. I'm not going to disrespect the judge, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make him feel high and mighty. I'm going to be polite, the way I'm polite to every human being on this earth.
Why? 1 and 2 are courtroom etiquette and not following that can have you landed in contempt of court. 3 is common sense, don't piss off a guy with so much power over your future. 4 is self explanatory because you talking rather than your lawyer will most of the time weaken your case and might have you in contempt. Don't be a rebel in a scenario where, at the very least, you're trying to prove your sincerity and remorse.
@@sremagamers I do agree with number 3, because acting out isn't constructive.

Wow, whether you're guilty or not, you're supposed to treat a judge like she/he's some kinda God?? Crazy!! We are all humans..imagine the judge don't like your manner, he'll end up bias on the verdict. Judicial system is never fair tbh
Everyone must show respect to the judge in a courtroom. Not just the defendant, but attorneys, prosecutors, witnesses, jurors, and even guests who have nothing to do with the proceeding. The reason is because, over almost a thousand years of common law trials, we know how essential an unbiased moderator is to ensuring fair, just, and expedient outcomes. The judge only has the ability to accomplish that goal so far as they are respected, and they are very sensitive to any breakdown in that because they are otherwise powerless to maintain the appropriate balance in a very adversarial system
@@kpro8908 Everything managed to progress except courtrooms. Really bad if the outcome of the trial is dependant on your behavior, even though it's supposed to be dependant on the evidence, witnesses, etc. The point of court is to find out who is in the wrong and right not about treating the judge like a god. It's not even respect, you are treating them like a deity.
So funny! I'm a practicing lawyer in Italy and here os the contrary. We address to the judge as "judge" and probably if you say "your honor" someone will laugh. And the defendant hat always the right to talk. Always,no metter what (If he remains respectful)
It’s a tradition that comes from when the British crown ruled the colonies. Kind of like saying “your majesty” to a king. The judge is supposed to be honorable in doing their job and that’s why “your honor” is used. When America became a democracy they never stopped referring to the judges as “your honor”.

Yes they should, maybe don’t end up in court next time. Also they put the effort into getting to that position, whereas you’re the bum who ended up in court
Legal proceedings in a courtroom are the most orderly and significant (both symbolically and factually) societal interaction that any of us can experience. In everyday life, we can all do/say almost anything we want…sometimes hurtful things. Politicians and government officials from the first 2 branches of Government are basically free to pursue fame and power…and they do. Judges are meant to have a demonstrated mental ability to separate passion from abject legal fact (we can’t expect political and everyday people to do this). They are typically insulated from pressure and do not become famous…their power starts and ends inside the courtroom. Furthermore, the judge is not the one arguing a case. So long as you haven’t chosen a Bench trial, your fate is up to the jury. The judge is there to maintain order. Our laws come alive In the courtroom. Respecting the judge is respecting our society and your fellow citizen. If you cannot accept this, then there might be a humility problem on your end! We all belong to something much bigger than ourselves…we all live under the law…regardless if you like it or not.
A system based on sucking up to the judge is a failure. How you dress, how you behave and how you talk should be irrelevant to the court. The case should be decided using facts only. It's idiotic to have rules on how to address and deal with the judge. Glorifying people in positions of power is a bad sign.
Its just human nature to judge someone based on their attitude towards you, dont forget judges are humans too. there arent actually that many egotistical judges around more often than not, those who are disrespectful to the judge are more egotistical narcissist who cant take in the fact that someone is higher than them and they deserve all the punishment they can get just to make it a lesson, srsly if you cant even respect someone who literally decides what to do with you, just shows what kind of a person you are: someone who deserves whats coming to them.

The judge asked why I should get the better accommodations and I said it wasn't so much the accommodations as it was that the lower security wing distributed 8 books per month per inmate whereas the higher security wing only distributed 2 books per month and I liked to read. The judge ordered my bail be reduced by one cent over the objections of the prosecuting attorney. Then the judge thanked me for informing him of the disparity of reading material access between the different tiers of cell blocks and said he would make an enquiry.
Weeks later I stood before the same judge having just pled guilty and the judge declared his intention to sentence me to 2 years in prison followed by 5 years on probation. He again asked me if I had any questions and I politely asked if he would reconsider and eliminate the probation and I was prepared to do additional time in prison if need be. He said "Since you asked so nicely I will honor your request." He then changed the sentence to 2 years and one day in prison followed by no probation. I was released 9 months later with no further obligation to the state proving that if you present yourself well and are polite and have the right attitude you can improve your situation when speaking in a court.

The fact a judge can ruin you even if you are 100% innocent shows the power they have, and how they need a check on their power. Most Judges are Lawyers on the peak of their career and ego
Why dose everyone forget that major crimes outcome is determined by jury and not the judge? The jury determines guilt ,the judge gives the sentence according to what the law is. Judges don't write the laws. So their power is checked by lawmakers aka the state and federal government. You know that whole checks and balances system our government has is to keep any one entity from having too much power is there for this very reason.
@@joegon6278 The judge can hold a jury prisoner until it delivers a guilty verdict if its a hung Jury. Or swap them out for a more pliable group. Plus, if the jury hands down a guilty verdict, that gives the Judge supreme power to screw you, or to give you a light slap. For example, if I have a judge who is my buddy, he can give me practically no sentence, while a judge who is my enemy can lock me up forever if they so wished. It happens all the time, because the constitution got put through the shredder a long time ago.
@@joegon6278 Most people accused of a crime (around 80-90% if I remember correctly, could totally be wrong on that) end up taking a plea bargain instead of going to trial, which just eliminates the need for a jury and essentially allows the judge to have full say in what they want to do with you (given the min/max punishment ranges for the crime). Sometimes it can be very unreal.
A good example is if you got caught with possession of an illegal substance. Let’s say, psychedelic mushrooms, for example.
In the state that I live in, it’s a Class D felony to be in possession of that (less than 35 grams). That means that you could be sentenced 1-7 years for just simple possession of shrooms. If the judge wanted to, the dude could sentence you for 7 years over that small possession. Of course you aren’t actually going to serve the full 7, but the fact that it’s still possible to be sentenced that long for a non-violent, small possession crime is insane.
Tell me you're an entitled 15 year old brat without telling me you're an entitled 15 year old brat
@@jstered 100% agree with you that some of the laws carry some over the top sentence ranges, but remember that those ranges are set by the state and federal government not the judges themselves, in most states though (like where I live) non violent crimes you only serve from 30% to 40% and even then those will often be reduced. If we don't like how laws are written we have to take it up with the lawmakers, that's how many states were able to make marijuana laws more lax because of people pushing to change the laws.

I mean I get it that judges are the upholders of the constitution and everything and yes, basic respect should be given- to everyone, but even then I feel they are overly treated like some sort of god and the fact that they can actually hold this grudge against you during the trial makes it worse.
They will not hold any grudge, not to them personally at least. When a judge work, he is not presenting himself anymore but the law. So when you disrespect them, you are disrespecting the law. By then, it's obvious that the law would not cut you any slack because it's clear that you did not take them seriously and will likely commit the crime again (assuming you are the criminal). Which make you deserve a few more year to a lot longer time in prison.

Exactly. It’s a test of character. If you aren’t able to contain yourself in front of a judge, it means you shouldn’t be trusted with the general public. They’re trying to determine how much of a danger you are, whether you are fit for release into society. The system allows for this level of power because people who commit crimes have never seen this level of power or have never been held to this level of accountability before. It’s a big slap in the face when entitled people first realize that they don’t have autonomy over themselves. That’s what this is supposed to do.

But then how will they steal more money from you??? Why make people's lives easier if you get money and power? Phht
The judge won't rule you guilty for pissing him off (at most hold you in contempt), but pissing him off isn't going to make your life easier. It's like going to the DMV and being rude to the employees, they'll still do their jobs but don't expect them to make your life any easier than they're required to.

Everyone must show respect to the judge in a courtroom. Not just the defendant, but attorneys, prosecutors, witnesses, jurors, and even guests who have nothing to do with the proceeding. The reason is because, over almost a thousand years of common law trials, we know how essential an unbiased moderator is to ensuring fair, just, and expedient outcomes. The judge only has the ability to accomplish that goal so far as they are respected, and they are very sensitive to any breakdown in that because they are otherwise powerless to maintain the appropriate balance in a very adversarial system

These videos just keep getting better.
Saul goodmen talks in the court without being asked to.
Cuz he’s the lawyer not the defendant
Genuine question:
why do you call a judge as 'your honor' i genuinely dont know why that is the thing you call them
Ikr
Respect ig
It’s like rules or smth
the defeated “i knowww” killed me
When I was younger I was made to thank a judge for my sentence- so he wouldn’t make it any worse, justice lol 😂 yeah right
A judge can't go over the maximum sentence. However if you have below the maximum and then be rude or sum then they can raise it to what they see fit. And yea it is justice because what idiot would be rude to the person who can decide their fate
@@blockofice2163 “what idiot would be rude to the person that decides their fate” me but it’s cause I have a mental disability 😭… u see my dog stepped on a bee 😭 😭😭😭😭 scarred me for life
If you got a reduced sentence you should be grateful. What did you do?
@@blockofice2163 Me, to highlight their illegitimacy, but only in the circumstance of a power crazed lunatic. Mind you it's not rudeness, its defiance. I'm going to jail anyway in that situation, might as well make it worth something.
@@ca_maximum385 Judge "I missed the part where that's my problem" *sentence to life in prison.
Some judges have really really fragile ego's, if they can't see past the little mistakes a noob in court might make.
Better call Saul
Bro these judges are entitled af 😂
Wow a what a perfect system, someone with power to decide people's fate, someone who is sureeely always right and you have to talk to them like peasant to a king, "justice" is so very much the priority. What could go wrong?
ok anarchist
@@Private_jin ok
It's honestly fucked that a judge can decide on your case based on your personality, like yeah someone may be an asshole but that doesn't make them guilty. And If you're being accused of something you didn't do of course you're gonna be pissed off, fuck manners 😂
Me attending law school through this channel 😂😂😂
So based on how the judge feels affect the outcome of your freedom. That power goes to there head. Time ,history has shown titles and degrees dont mean shit. Might is always right. Judges will send someone to force you to comply. And ppl obey because of that fear of force.
Its just human nature to judge someone based on their attitude towards you, dont forget judges are humans too.
there arent actually that many egotistical judges around more often than not, those who are disrespectful to the judge are more egotistical narcissist who cant take in the fact that someone is higher than them and they deserve all the punishment they can get just to make it a lesson, srsly if you cant even respect someone who literally decides what to do with you, just shows what kind of a person you are: someone who deserves whats coming to them.
@@roeljude3289 stop spamming I'm not reading that
Justice system is so disgusting. The judge shouldn’t be worshipped
I’ve always wondered why many times everything rides on whether the fucker feels you’ve kissed their feet enough
Yes they should, maybe don’t end up in court next time. Also they put the effort into getting to that position, whereas you’re the bum who ended up in court
No matter how dishonorable the judge is
Legal proceedings in a courtroom are the most orderly and significant (both symbolically and factually) societal interaction that any of us can experience.
In everyday life, we can all do/say almost anything we want…sometimes hurtful things. Politicians and government officials from the first 2 branches of Government are basically free to pursue fame and power…and they do.
Judges are meant to have a demonstrated mental ability to separate passion from abject legal fact (we can’t expect political and everyday people to do this). They are typically insulated from pressure and do not become famous…their power starts and ends inside the courtroom.
Furthermore, the judge is not the one arguing a case. So long as you haven’t chosen a Bench trial, your fate is up to the jury. The judge is there to maintain order.
Our laws come alive In the courtroom. Respecting the judge is respecting our society and your fellow citizen. If you cannot accept this, then there might be a humility problem on your end! We all belong to something much bigger than ourselves…we all live under the law…regardless if you like it or not.
Is your surname seriously “LaCourt”
A system based on sucking up to the judge is a failure. How you dress, how you behave and how you talk should be irrelevant to the court. The case should be decided using facts only. It's idiotic to have rules on how to address and deal with the judge. Glorifying people in positions of power is a bad sign.
Its just human nature to judge someone based on their attitude towards you, dont forget judges are humans too.

Me doing all these things for a prank vid:
Lol someone bouta be in anotha court
“I don’t like your client very much”
“I know”
Fuck the judge
Why do we have to address them as "Your Honor"?
Because logic
It’s pretty simple it’s basically because of
because most judges are arrogant corrupt cunts who have the power to give you more time behind bars for hurting their little feelings
They are a holes
@@hunterbond2925 Not if you’re on the supreme court… the most important one
This man is like Saul Goodman, except he doesn't work with meth cooks
ᴬˢ ᶠᵃʳ ᵃˢ ʷᵉ ᵏⁿᵒʷ
Mr. Lawyer man, thanks for educating us, it's much appreciated.
Thats why Better Call Saul 😂
The judges face at the beginning tho 😭
literally me whenever a surprise test appears
Its like judges are Kings
judges think too highly of themselves.
And you should too considering you’d be speaking to the person who’s job is to judge you. A murder can get a 5 year sentence or a life sentence depending on what the judge and jury decide
Are you supposed to say "you're honor" before you say something or after say something examples
1- it wasn't me your honor or
2-your honor it's wasn't me
When serving the law and being the spear head of justice. Your ego comes last. It shouldn't matter what a "client" says in court
This is why I stick with Saul goodman
Judges have way too much power
Thank you Mike. I have to go to court without an attorney, by choice. Because there is no law against my next-door neighbor touring me on purpose. She has called the cops on me 4 times for no reason 😒. Trying to make me look like an evil person. Thank you for sharing the equiteete, because I know nothing about court. 😊 Again thanks
“Don’t ever do this to a judge”
*Pulls out a bomb vest*
Law by Mike as a judge 🔥🔥
"your honorable dude"
LMFAO. A judge would prolly just let that slide or might ask you to please not.
@@kingace6186 give it a few decades, today's future judges of tomorrow will answer with a "please sit down, bro."
My ass thinking authority is ridiculous and that those type of guys must have serious power trips constantly...
This is a really good tip for being in law school
Most people who work in that corrupted profession....
What are these comments on… OF COURSE YOU CAN’T CALL THE JUDGE “My dude.” They’re not your friends. You’re in court for a reason. It’s a formal occasion. It’s no laughing matter.
It's not about that dum*ass it's the fact you're expected to treat someone like they're royalty when all they did is spend their life memorizing some books and VERY likely don't have any real knowledge outside of their profession.
It's also the fact they hold so much unchecked power over people's lives and so many are corrupt, you can have an alibi made out of the strongest steel but you'll end up in jail over the dude that has solid undisputable evidence against him because someone tipped the judge a grand or 2, or you'll end up in jail for years for a minor speeding ticket with no previous offenses if the judge didn't fancy your tie while the criminal that tore several families apart is currently eating ice-cream in the park. 98% are lawyers with egos more fragile than a card castle and if you try using logic and reasoning their mind goes back to when they were picked last for dodgeball and you're suddenly eating prison food for the next decade
@@quandaledingle3739 criminal "justice" as if that's a thing lately.
I'm not saying treat the judge like a friend, but "your honor" is too much, always has been, never understood why we treat these mfs like they're royalty or some bs while there's people out there that **actually** DESERVE to be treated like kings and queens.
Treat them like you would any stranger, or a job interviewer, or how you treat your best friends or girlfriends/boyfriends dad when you first meet him. But "your honor"? Gtfo with that trash.
@@Catastropheex1 why’re you talking as if I created it calm tf down 💀
And yeah criminal Justice rlly is a thing, there’s Justice in it for the most part, the media just loves to show all the bad stuff out instead. I used to see the world exactly like you until I actually took a course on it and learned all abt the inside work of the law system. It’s flawed and so are humans.
And like I said I agree with the whole your honor thing, I don’t think anyone rlly deserves to be treated like king bc all humans are likely to get corrupted, no matter how much of a saint they may be. But these comments acting like they can call the judge as if they’re your friend at a bar.
If that were true, justice would be held in high regard, instead of ignored completely.
still tho why only "your honor" like might as well require them to say my lord too
Where did «your honor» even come from? Respect is earned, and it goes both ways. I’m not gonna treat you like you have authority over me if you can’t show some respect back. Whatever hard work a judge did to get where he/she is at means nothing to me, because it has nothing to do with me.
