Unbelievable, me thinks!

[Groanup]

Sounds like Justice Leask still thinks too much like a defense lawyer, eh? < Canadian accent here

Works out well for the sleepy guy I guess... At least his foot didn't slip off the brake...

[Hermes]

you are right on both counts

Well, he did have his foot on the brake and he didn't run the red light.

This type of "justice" is what leads to a lack of trust in the judicial system.

Is this judge appointed or elected?

 

Someone needs to push this arrogance up the chain to where the judge in question is shown the door.

Is this judge appointed or elected?

 

All judges in Canada are appointed.

Is this judge appointed or elected?

 

All judges in Canada are appointed.

 

In the words of my son: "Yeah those F$%$#%rs are appointed"
