*IF* the story the judge told the guy is true, I’ll bet the judge used a bit of his “behind the scenes” pull to ‘explain’ to that cop why he should not do that on a regular basis.
Something not available to those of us outside the judicial system, no?
“behind the scenes” pull to ‘explain’ to that cop...”
I think it was the other way around. Cop knew who he was pulling over. Judge was the one that got the message.
This was a Zoom hearing, I believe everyone hears everything?
That said, the Judge may be telling the story to get it out there?
Don’t know about other places, but the Judges in Chicago seem to be in total control.
Once as I sat in traffic court, the Judge entered and said, ‘everyone with a DUI, move to the left.
Then announced, ‘today is Mayor Daley’s birthday and everyone on the right side, case dismissed’!!!
I was very happy to be on the right.
