      He knew he had a lot bigger fish to fry than two kids who stole drugs from their grandmother to get their coworker to stop bothering them about it.

        One of my favourite legal principles I don’t see applied enough “de minimis non curat lex”, “the law does not concern itself with trifles”.

          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.

              Unfortunately judges can be corrupted too. They can accept bribes to rule favorably and their clerks can charge unsolicited fees to lose files or giving access to judicial decisions before they’re scheduled to release.

              Absolute power currupts absolutely.
