State Cop Wants To Arrest Judge For Refusing To Sign His Warrant

[mrjarrell]

Yep. The judge apparently refused to grant the officer his desired warrant for a suspect in a bar fight (unless he also arrested the other guy). So the cop gets bent out of shape and now wants to arrest the judge. This will be unlikely to turn out the way the cop wants, methinks.

State police want to arrest judge who refused to sign arrest warrant

I think the trooper needs to cut his losses and move on.

Yeah, the trooper has a chip on his shoulder, but there must be something missing from the story. Something that makes the judge feel that the arrest of the "victim" is warranted. I can't imagine (at least I hope) she doesn't feel that simply being party to an assault is sufficient grounds for arrest.

But then she is female, and females more than males think zero tolerance is a good thing. And her stipulation that the "victim" be arrested is not unlike the school policy that demands the victim of the school bully be suspended as well.

 

[dross]

Let's just hope that when they come for her she doesn't resist.

But what if the guy that got his ass kicked started the fight?

 

[CarmelHP]

What's that about "a few bad apples?"




(Sorry, had to say it.)

 

[Bunnykid68]

I hate bad apples they are all soft and mushy

 

[eldirector]

So, why can't the officer/DA simply apply for a warrant through another court/judge?

And why does this judge think she can do more than approve/deny a warrant request? Can a judge really force a cop to go arrest someone?

Something is fishy here....

No, but they can refuse a warrant. In this case she judge wasn't going to approve a warrant for one person in a fight unless the other person got arrested to. Makes sense to me.

State cops are funny! Just think of all the speeding tickets this guy is missing out on writing because he has a bee in his bonnet over some silly judge.

They do however...make good apple sauce.

Jeez, I never knew you needed a "warrant" to arrest somebody!

This probably won't end well.

HELLO PROFESSOR FALKIN WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?

 

[public servant]

*Obviously, this is all based on the limited information we have so far. If it turns out that the judge refused to sign the warrant for reasons that are less than kosher, then we have a different story on our hands.

I think all news stories should have a disclaimer like this one has.

He should try for a writ of mandamus.

That's what I would do. If I was him.

I've never thought of going to the court house to look for them! Damn, I thought I knew all the angles.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

It's sort of like a writ of mandamus but you command . . . oh, never mind.
