    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.

      Something about the police strikes me as odd. If a judge can stay uncorrupted by power, why cant police? Assuming that this is the reason for their actions.

        The problem isn’t straight-out corruption.

        It’s wonky incentivation.

        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.
