        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.

            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.
