PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three deputies were held in civil contempt in a racial profiling case on Friday.
“In short, the court finds that the defendants have engaged in multiple acts of misconduct, dishonesty, and bad faith with respect to the plaintiff class and the protection of its rights,” U.S. District Judge Murray Snow wrote in a 162-page ruling.

thank God for joe!
Is Judge Murray Snow a Clinton or an ObaMao appointee?
How do I donate to his legal fund?
racial profiling is discriminating between potentially good people and probable bad people
it is a great tool for finding bad guys
Contempt is a violation of law. When you’re given a lawful order by the courts, you follow that order or you pay the consequence of violating that law.
It’s kind of a big deal.

Unless you're Obama.
It may get bigger-- the judge says at the end of the order that, after a further hearing, he is going to decide whether to recommend criminal prosecution.
Holy crap, the leftist feds and LA Raza types are bleeding AZ dry - $41 Million spent because these LEOs are doing the job that the feds won’t!
The power to tax or levy fines and fees, is the power to destroy.
The civil contempt finding doesn’t disqualify Arpaio from holding office. It’s unclear whether a criminal contempt finding would prevent Arpaio from serving as sheriff.
A felony contempt conviction would force him from office, but the judge has the option of recommending either a misdemeanor or felony contempt case.
The case has cost Maricopa County millions of dollars.
The county has already shelled out $41 million over the past eight years in the racial profiling case and must keep covering those legal costs until Arpaio’s office is released from the supervision of the case judge.
I figured as much.
Oh you mean like Lois Lerner and Eric Holder, both cited with 'Contempt' by the U.S. Congress?
Riiiigghhht.
Unfortunately Courts have been known to issue unlawful orders (when it's political, rather than Constitutional) at which time the options are follow the unlawful order, or "pay the consequences," or appeal to a higher court and hope sufficient other jurisdictions will join the resistance to judicial abuse as friends of the court)
Legislated law, or judicial law?
The years of prosecutorial and judicial harassment of Sheriff Joe means its time for new prosecutors, new judges, and a bunch of the current batch thrown in prison for life.
This is what happens when you enforce the law in a lawless society. Is there a defense fund?
“Judge” Snow is an enemy of America who belongs in Gitmo
It’s no big deal when RATS do it. They’ve been trying to bring down Sherriff Joe for years. There are even some Joe-haters here on FR. Ex-cons, probably.
