Judges Are Special
They must be bullet proof....and immune to logic, physics,etc:
- Getting through a security checkpoint can be a hassle. It's a modern day reality most of us have to deal with. But, some Cook County judges are thumbing their noses at strict new security measures at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse.
It all started earlier this year when Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart tightened up the security procedures for the criminal courts and jail complex at 26th and California.
FOX 32 and the Better Government Association have obtained copies of incident reports, showing a dozen judges are flatly refusing to obey the new rules and displaying behavior that some might call "injudicious."
Pretty much a whole bunch of cases of "Don't you know who I am?" outlined in the entire article. Judges ripping on sheriffs, blowing through checkpoints, refusing to answer basic security questions, fighting with Dart and his people, etc. In other words, childish bullshit typical of Cook County politicos.

Ummm FOP meeting?
Don't tell me you were nervous of those threats from are senior members that they can actually beat someone up!
To much TJ hooker re-runs and not enough studying of the by laws.
Greatly depressed at all involved and those who think they have the right ides for the future.
Oh and Rahm you can still go F@%k
yourself!
It's silly for the judges but just fine for the rest of us.
If these connected arrogant judges wouldn't conform to the rules then he/she should have not been granted access to the court house. Just because they have the clout to get elected to a judgeship does not mean THEY don't have to obey the rules.
I'd bet that the ones who refuse to be checked are the more liberal judicial types.
Yeah, they're special...short bus special.
And the joke is, security checkpoints serve to protect primarily those judges.
I love that 'holier than thou' pompous attitude they have toward us, the little people. RULES don't apply to them; they're so special.
Judges ARE very very special people. They always have been. You can't expect them to have to wait in a security line like the common rabble. They are above that.
Maybe Judge Sacks needs to take another round of anger management classes...
http://www.cookcountycourt.org/MEDIA/ViewPressRelease/tabid/338/ArticleId/544/Associate-Judge-Stanley-J-Sacks.aspx
Another example of Dart having lost his mind and having zero common sense; his dept. is generating "incident reports" cause the judges say screw it to his new rules? WTF??? Maybe a phone call or two to the Chief Judge instead of crying to the BGA could have smoothed things over. But , I forgot, no publicity for Tommy crimefighter. Another waste of time and money by Dart. Judgethew yisANP
Isnt it the whole reason for Chicago/Cook County??? Im special and your not???
This should surprise no one, they like all Dem pols arent held by the same rules as the peasants...
judges are not subordinate to the sheriff. they may not have to abide by his rules.
courtesy might suggest it is better for them to go along with the rules, but as a point of law, I don't know they are required to unless the chief judge says so.
And this surprises you?
Maany judges have supported concealed carry. Just for themselves.
I mean I agree. Judges cars should not be subjected to searches. It would be very embarassing to a judge if their bribe money and envelopes were discovered during those searches. C'mon people.
Easy fix...lock one of them up when they violate the law. Oh, Dart, that's right....can't do that!!!!!
The 911 call placed by Judge Sacks was priceless.
If you haven't heard you are missing some pure comedy.
Some of these people are soft as puppy shit and when you hear the tape you'll know why.
Keep it up, SCC. This is the bullshit that makes it tough (next to impossible last few weeks) for working police to get SWs signed on the weekend. You are not helping things with this post.
Gee arn't judges just politically connected lawyers?
And of course you never trust a lawyer if you are a decent person.
After all, how many times here in Crook County has a lawyer brought in a weapon or other counterband?
I run into that same attitude with a lot of LEOs...just sayin'
And the joke is, security checkpoints serve to protect primarily those judges.

Always has been that way. Look at the pension problem in Illinois. All the suggested solutions exempt the judges
Stanley---what did you do now?
Arrogant fuckers
Sounds like some of those judges have deep seated anger issues.
I don't know what meeting some of you people attended but Shields got his ass handed to him by the membership. Motion for no confiendence, asked to resign, asked not to run again? Cortez grandstanding bringing up Shields on charges. The election is six months away and we will rid ourselves of Shields, King, Dougherty, Aguilar and Donahue.
I'm sorry but those searches of the vehicles on the news looked half assed and more of an inconvienve. And why shouldn't the Jude's feel special and exempt from everyone else they have their own private elevator with operator at 26/cal.

Really? Do you have to show your ID when you are leaving 26th and Cal?
Dart is being a dick because he wants judges to let everyone out of CCDOC.
The Chicago Way is alive and well in our FOP, after that meeting it just proves it. Nuff said!
This is what happens when lawyers are appointed to the bench because of who they golf with and whose campaigns they contribute to.

Agreed. The loon who shot up the Naval Yard this week had CLEARANCE. He was 'special', too. No need to screen HIM, right?
I am guessing some of these judges are just plain arrogant and pompous and some are carrying concealed handguns ??
Sounds like these judges hold law enforcement in contempt. Most people don't treat Andy Frain ushers at the movies like this. It is astounding they treat Sheriff's Police like this.
Let's try to project, if you treat police officers like crap, how do you think P.O.s who are witnesses and ASAs are treated?
The Judges at 26 and Cal are all big babies that think they are better than everybody else!
Well, welcome to the common person world!
Wait until they have to pay to park at 26 and Cal. listen for the wail then!
How about just keeping the gate closed until they comply....and yeah ok judge I need a search warrant, how bout this legal genius, you consented to the search when you agreed to take the free parking spot so your fat ass didn't have to spend any money or walk across the street like the rest of us commoners. I would also point you DUMB ASSES to illinois state statutes, the cook county jail complex is considered a penal institution, therefore, vehicles are subject to search per state law......
So lets see we have Angelo sr., who else is putting in?..
I loved it the other day.
Was waiting in line to get in...I heard in a belligerent tone "Don't you know who I am?" And the response I heard was "Until you put on your Robe...you're a civilian. ID or you don't get in."
Interesting. Up in Lake County, the judges go through the magnometers just like everyone else if they leave the building. They however, are not a bunch of incompetent, egotistical, arrogant, unfriendly political hacks as are their counterparts in Crook County. They do not complain, whine, throw hissyfits or try to push their weight around. They, unlike their counterparts in Crook County, are smart enough to realize that the checkpoints are there to protect them.
Hey judges: welcome to the real world of the common folk.
OK...
Here's a cure...
Since the judges all have their honorable noses out of joint?
Pull the Deputies out and let that parking facility secure and Police itself.
See? The Chicago/Cook County Democratic Cure!
EVERYBODY has the benefit of "equality" now!
Heh...
You first "Yer Honah!"
Wait until they have to pay to park at 26 and Cal. listen for the wail then!
That will never happen. It will be just like juvenile court where there is a special lot for judges that is free and next to the building. So if you are waiting for judges to pay, you better live to ay least a 100
Fuck judges. Put lawn signs up at election time and never remove them after. Just bullshit lawyers-yea anyone can pass the bar exam-take as many times as you want. Sooner or later you will pass. Look at shortshanks and he was CRook County States Attorney. What a fuckin joke. Do something useful in life you fucks. We aint impressed.
Arrest these mostly corrupt, pompous political Hack Assholes.
This is Dart fucking with the judges because he has a beef with Tim Evans. The sheriffs know the judges, they don't need to ask them questions or search their trunks.
Wait until Dart starts fucking with CPD officers. Asking questions at the parking lot. Asking questions at the front door. It'll take an hour just to get inside.
Or, better yet, wait until you have to go through the same security as the defendants and wait in line to check your gun. Then, we will see how "judicious" you are.

EXACTLY!!!! Traffic stop, domestic beef, kid in trouble, at a restaurant trying to get a discount....list goes on, "hey, dont you know who I am?"
Remember when most of these judges? were new ASAs working in BS Misd Ct and were fuckin CLUELESS. Rose Higg in old Br 35 got reamed in open court by Judge Handy for her stupidity. Cant blame old Handy on that. She had no clue. She started crying. Wanted to give her a hug and say its ok but you he's right you aren't too fuckin smart. But with her Eddie Burke hook-up she is now a sitting fool at 26th St. All who U know boys n gals. She still is clueless.

Violating the oath -- the words mean nothing. do the laws mean anything?
[...]... hambrick was staying at his mother’s house. Law enforcement sources told FOX 32 News it’s on a block controlled by a faction of the Black P Stone street gang. While his South Dakota license plates might have drawn attention, Chicago police said they stopped Hambrick on 79th Street because he wasn’t using his truck’s seat belt. That’s when an officer found his loaded, .45 caliber Taurus handgun and two magazines with 10 rounds each.
“‘Whose gun is that in the car?’ I said, ‘It’s mine.’ He said, ‘Well, why do you have a gun?’ I said, ‘For the same reason you have a gun, to protect myself,’” Hambrick says, describing his conversation with the cop.
Hambrick said he showed the police his Illinois Firearm Owner’s ID card, as well as a concealed carry permit valid in South Dakota. Precisely because he’d grown up on the bloody streets of Englewood, he said, he felt he needed a gun to protect himself. Hambrick, who said he once belonged to the National Rifle Association, admits he became belligerent as he then addressed the alleged shortcomings of Chicago’s gun laws.
“He said, ‘Well, Chicago has this ordinance that bans guns and you can’t have a loaded weapon, blah, blah, blah,’” Hambrick recalls. “I said, ‘Officer, did you take an oath to the constitution?’ He said, ‘Yes. We all did.’ ‘So, right now you’re violating your oath and you’re violating my rights.’ They subsequently ignored all that and arrested me for Aggravated UUW.”
It’s that charge, aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon for personal possession, that the State Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional last week. That’s why a spokeswoman said State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez will send assistant prosecutors into courtrooms Tuesday asking to dismiss AUUW charges against about 80 defendants, including 20 or so like Hambrick who couldn’t bond out and are in County Jail.
The 40-year old Hambrick said he wouldn’t plead guilty even to a lesser charge because it would instantly end his career in information technology.
So, isn’t the release of this guy an admission by State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez that people who have a valid FOID card and aren’t committing any other felonies can now carry loaded, concealed guns in Cook County?

well it's 'professional courtesy' the words used to justify ones conscience that it's okay to violate the rules picking and choosing who has to obey them and who does not.
Lots of things to complain about, this isn't one. It is funny to hear coppers complain about double standards and "courtesy" though.
celestial beings...don't have to follow rules.
What contempt for those sheriffs who risk their lives on a daily basis for the glorified attorneys with black robes. Kind of reminds me of the contempt that both democrat U.S. senators Little Dick Durbin and John Kerry had for the men and women serving our nation in uniform when they read their hate- filled shameful diatribes into the record regarding our nation's military.

You forget to mention that there is a viable Republican Party in Lake County and the list Republican officeholders includes several judges.
SCC - Isn't tomorrow Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Way back when a buddy of mine was working a campaign for a now indicted former county commissioner I saw a states attorney there that was in charge of his campaign. Few months later the states attorney was slated for judge.. He's a great pro police judge so I won't tell who he is. But it goes to show what you need to do in order to be a judge.
This lame argument sounds like the one libtards make that they shouldn't be subjected to search prior to getting on an airplane. If you don't want to follow the rules to park in that lot, whether you agree with them or not, then go park somewhere else or just fuck off.
Judges pay to park? Yeah right! Judges have free assigned parking behind the courthouse and will not have to pay. Paying is for the little guy. We pay, they take. that's how it works in crook county.

Agreed. Welcome to socialism and equality across the board.
Read this judge!,,,
In upholding these searches, the appeals court stated that when a Fourth Amendment intrusion "serves special government needs, beyond the normal need for law enforcement," it is necessary to balance the individual's privacy expectations against the government's interests to decide whether it is impractical to require a warrant or some level of individualized suspicion.
Given the special and serious security dangers at a penal institution, the court found, and considering the "relatively minor inconvenience of the searches," the practice of engaging in suspicionless searches of visitors' vehicles "is valid under the special needs doctrine."
In a way I don't blame these judges for getting upset over being screened on entry to the courthouse.
The same judge, going in through the same door, seeing the same person screening every day. What's the point? Is a judge going to take out a few fellow judges? Shoot an obnoxious defense attorney? (Hmmmm)
I think most of the "security precautions" are silly busywork.
Time, money and effort are wasted screening people that present little threat while real threats are passed over.
A few months back an airline pilot was delayed by a TSA screener because he had a pair of nail clippers. If you don't trust the pilot with nail clippers, how and why do you trust him with the airplane?
So fucking what the judges show their ID and walk in. Why throw shit at the judges ? The percent od coppers being total assholes outweigh the judges.
Been in LE over 30 years. Knock the shit off about the Chicago way, any of you copper' get moved to a nice unit or promoted because you had juice !
Leave the judges alone and look into your own prosfession.
The last 10 years really produced quite a few legends in the CPD..LMAO.
judges are not subordinate to the sheriff. they may not have to abide by his rules.
courtesy might suggest it is better for them to go along with the rules, but as a point of law, I don't know they are required to unless the chief judge says so.
Once inside the court room, the judge is absolute, at least in matters of the judiciary. Outside it and in matters of security, they, just like everyone else must abide by the rules of the sheriff's office.

Judges are law students who grade their own papers. Therefore, praytell, how could they ever be wrong?
Simple answer:
No, I do not know who you are.
ID or no entry, next in line!

Because people snap, that's why.

Because you forgot to take your meds.
Because your ex hasn't let you see your kids in fourteen months.
Because, because, because... with no warning, someone 'goes postal' and then the media frenzy second-guesses everything that SHOULD have been done, like walking through a metal detector.

Hey Sarge,
I don't think I know you but have to ask...How many years did you do? 30+ probably....what did you do about the situations you so ignorantly commented on while you were on the job? How do you know so much about how Lake County judges act? You think theres no hacks up there-you are fucking delusional!
Who was your clout, jagoff? Or are you saying there was none here during your tour? And when did you ever go to court or deal with judges?
Glad you're retired and like Lake County so much-do us a favor and stay up there!
