Judge Canned for Ticket Fixing

    A rookie cop who didn't know what "SMA" vanity plates were wrote a ticket to the wife of a judge...The ticket was "fixed" and a big probe is launched. The decision was to remove a judge from office and a pious admonition about how ticket fixing creates two systems of justice.
     That's a revelation ?

 Former Judge Diane Schilling

      SMA stands for State Magistrates Association and motorists are supposed to get some slack within reason. A professional courtesy if you will since police have to regularly appear before justices.
      It's like those PBA stickers that get you out of a ticket. Members of the State Legislature get those as a courtesy.
       I am sorry if I am not shocked to hear tickets are fixed.
