Seriously. I don't get it. Officials should face criminal charges when they violate our rights. It shouldn't be "Oh, well, just stop violating people's rights and you can keep your job after a slap on the wrist."
A judge abuses his powers, presumably for his whole career, and squashes the rights of those under him, and his only punishment is getting to retire a year early. What an absolute mockery the justice system is.
You are absolutely right! All judges are dirty state DA's attorney's elevated into a judge position. Our judicial system is complete garbage based on feelings not the real rule of law.
The justice system is desperate to hold on to judges. There are too many laws, too many punishments incentivized by making money over making justice. Too many police to enforce too many laws. So the result is to keep bad judges and bad cops in because it keeps that bad system going and no one decent wants to do it anymore.
I can relate to how you feel. However, It doesn't seem fair for you to say or assume that the "judge abuses his powers, presumably for his whole career." As I hers the story the cases were from 2019 to 2021 and judge had been on the bench since 1995. I am guessing the judge's frustration increased over time. Removing the judge from the bench seems like the right move. I am wondering that with the "2021 the Ohio Supreme Court's disciplinary Council accused," why the judge was on the bench in 2024. That is a problem from my point of view.
@@YesssszAnd he has zero excuses. The judge abused his power. Plain and simple. Imagine all the other judges who got away with this before the internet and social media existed and we would've never even found out about it or what consequences they faced. Hoover got a slap on the wrist, IMO.
No one is immune, the people just need to establish their own Grand Juries and their own courts. Just like the corporate courts have done. Never vote for judges, it’s a trap. The people literally voted for the corporate business courts that now rule over them.
I would assume he has been doing this for a very long time. Why would they wait until he is at the end of his career to remove him for his abuse of power.
It's so they can make it look like they "actually" did something worthwhile. However, the fact that this decision was based on "it burdens people of a lower socio-economic status" and not simply because "it's illegal," tells you all you need to know.
I have never understood that logic. I don’t have the money to pay so your fix is to keep me from working for a week? Well now I really don’t have the money to pay and you have put me in danger of being homeless.🙄
@@JoBo-ug6tf this happens all the time with probation and child support. My husband caught a charge when we were homeless for shoplifting 20 bucks of Food. He got probation but we couldn’t keep up with the fees for that and the cost whenever they ordered a drug test (and they do that whenever they want. Sometimes every visit at 150-600 a pop depending on the type) I also knew someone who got divorced but couldn’t get food stamps without the state going after her ex. He already gave her what he could but having to pay a certain amount through the state would just get him put in jail where he couldn’t pay anything, leaving her without someone to help watch the kid and pay for diapers and stuff. Both her and him were in a certificate program to get better jobs and her words were ‘ my success is my daughter’s success. His success is my daughter’s success. The better off both of us can be the better off she grows up’. Aggressively going for child support from deadbeats is one thing but so many situations just don’t fit that mold. These two were still good friends, he just had a lot of mental health issues like schizophrenia and ptsd and had to get himself straight. PTSD turns people into completely different humans during triggers. It’s heartbreaking and it has a place in my marriage as well. Thankfully my husband got help before we divorced. Anyway jailing people over not paying fines keeps you from being able to pay them.
So, when a Judge violates the law, they get removed from the bench, but they do not face any other penalties? What about the damages to the people he falsely arrested?
Joe certainly shouldn't have run to be president. He wasn't mentally capable. Too bad, I had hoped that he would have fulfilled his promise to bring us together. Instead he divided us more! We all need to work together to make our country better. Just wished we had better candidates for upcoming election. Ug
Judicial immunity. Plus every judge does something wrong at some point in their career. Most of them are trying to do "the right thing" but know it is illegal. They don't want to go to jail, so they pay it forward by not sending other judges to jail. They all collectively let themselves off the hook.
So the judge only gets taken off the bench but no other penalties for illegally throwing people in jail? How about paying back those court fees at least?
The court costs were due, though. The people were guilty of something and had to pay the costs. They weren't paying, so the judge was throwing them in jail, but not following the process.
What happened to his victims? Have they at all been compensated for the illegal actions taken against them? This sounds like another slap on the wrist with no real consequence for the Judge, which just makes me so frustrated.
This is VERY close to me. Stow built themselves a brand new municipal courthouse. So now people who pay "court costs" for their ticket, as part of "$50 plus court costs" kinds of judgements or agreement, find themselves with $350+ just for court costs.
That's the ones we know about. How many other judges are sitting there sending people away to jail. And the crappy thing is we give judges the benefit of the doubt.
The only issue at his sentencing should be how many lifetimes he serve for his crimes... yet he hasn't been charged with one. That he hasn't been charged is the greatest injustice.
I've seen some judges that seem very nice and reasonable. One judge im thinking of let people do community service instead of paying fines. Either pay the fine or do a few hours a week community service.
@@timb7775I suggest you take a trip to your local traffic court, you will see a certain demographic being forced to be sign such illegal agreements. ⚠️
This country needs a review panel for public complaints against judges , chaired by only one judge . A panel / agency with power to immediately remove and jail out of control judges.
This Doofus reminds me of that other judge, who went by the name "Pinky", who created bench warrants for everyone who didn't show up to court during Covid, despite being instructed not to show up to court due to Covid. When reminded of this fact by the attorneys, she said something inane like, "If I can come in, they can."
I know we live in, or at least are supposed to be living, a just society BUT is removal from the bench the extent of the punishment?? I’m not saying “take ‘em out back and let his brain have some fresh air” but how many people were negatively affected by his erroneous decisions and were his actions willfully evil? This sounds like some mafia/cartel stuff from other countries.
Right... but what remedy for restitution do those wrongfully jailed have to expect??? I'll bet... nothing. Because judges insulated themselves. Immunity is only used by despots. Everyone else is heard.
He served on a local City Council and worked for the prosecutor's office before his time as judge. He's got 40 years of public work under his belt. His pension isn't going anywhere.
I alway appreciate your take on explaining these situations. The way you explain the actions of people, whether a citizen, criminal or authority figure, how those actions impact the community in a positive or negative way, and why. So many life lessons here. 😊
"Have you learned your lesson for being a deadbeat". To a guy who just lost his house and son? Fucking hell, that sounds like case of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.... and if it isn't then the legal system is broken.
This needs to end! We need real judicial review and reform. It cannot wait. Is there a national reform and accountability movement? I am in New Hampshire and I welcome further scrutiny of administrative judges.
Now in the name of Justice that judge should have been subjected to the same treatment, jailed at least the time they were jailed, fined at least what they were fined and humiliated in public as they were. Given a sign and made to stand on the corner each day, stating he is a poor excuse for a judge.
So he really received no punishment since he'll be retired before his suspension ends. Retirement aside, if he is suspended for 18 months and could have six months of that suspended if he doesn't get into any more trouble, how does one do something wrong if he is suspended? No real consequences. Im shocked
I would posit that most of these "dead beats" were already living paycheck to paycheck without much margin and as a result of being jailed, missed work (and pay, maybe even gotten fired) for the period of the incarceration.
Lived that way for a long time and buried a child during that time. If he had called me that I would have sat in that jail til I died before I paid them a dime.
The fact the judge isn't in jail is the real shame here.
Exactly. Have the judge sit out some of the sentences he very wrongly gave out.
Seriously. I don't get it.
Officials should face criminal charges when they violate our rights. It shouldn't be "Oh, well, just stop violating people's rights and you can keep your job after a slap on the wrist."
They are above the law.
" Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Not in this case.
it's sad, yes. this is just another example of the two-tier justice system.
Sounds like 48 charges of felony kidnapping and misdemeanor false imprisonment
Only if was you or I.
Judicial immunity is real.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!
Imagine setting out to ruin people’s lives as a career. People like this are gross.
You forgot cohorsion, extortion.
A judge abuses his powers, presumably for his whole career, and squashes the rights of those under him, and his only punishment is getting to retire a year early. What an absolute mockery the justice system is.
That's why they call it the "Just Us" system, because it's just these disgusting filth.

@@luck484 Yes, yes, the judge illegally locked people in cages and so making him retire a year early is totally an appropriate punishment. /s
Who compensates the wrongful jailed victims? The removed judge? This judge should be prosecuted and stay in prison the sum of jail-sentences he gave.
No entity pays. Supposedly there are programs to pay back people but I found in reality they do not work and exist only on paper.
I thought the county or entity that sends the person wrongfully to jail/prison. Which of course gets its money from taxpayers.
Chances are he got some in his pockets.
And be made to pay at least treble damages to his victims, plus interest.
Exactly my thoughts
The judge showed no mercy and therefore deserves no mercy. Send HIM to jail.
Jail is pretty merciful when we're talking about false imprisonment. You are being too kind.
He broke the LAW

If I wrongly imprison someone, I get locked away. This judge gets a vacation? WTH?
"position"
It's actually typical
This again .. shows how broken our for profit "justice" system is :(
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. ...unless you're making decisions about someone else's life as a government employee.
Getting kicked off the bench should be the least of his concerns. He should be sitting in a prison cell.
I don't trust anyone who has immunity.
Accountability keeps everyone in line.

Being a judge to make money. So much corruption.
REMOVE qualified immunity! Remove asset forfeiture. THEN hold them responsible for ALL of their mistakes.

Suspended? He should never be allowed inside a courtroom again except as a defendant.
Oh man, this won't affect his pension will it?
Not at all. He will be NETTING more a month then 99% of society takes home a month working
Of course not. Government officials protect each other, not the common citizen.

Another failure, he got away with this once and he didn't go to jail. I wonder why people don't trust our legal system...
Waist of time he'll retire on the taxpayers dime after decades of violating people's rights.
They all retire NETing more a month then when they were working.

The judge should be facing charges besides being removed from the bench. These people he did this to should each be getting a big check too.
Civil suit? Sue the judge! His money.
The penalty is far from sufficient..... criminal charges should follow!
That judge needs to be sent to jail himself, and his (probably many) victims need to get just compensation for their wrongful imprisonment.
Exactly why we need to stop allowing old people to perform critical tasks in our government.
How many other judges have we seen ignore the law's and constitution?

I thought debters prison was unlawfully in the US
Not when you have a DL. ITS A CONTRACT. You signed your Constitutional rights away to get it
