so I'm reading this study about NYC judges with law enforcement backgrounds detaining more people... yeah it seems pretty fishy to me like how can we just assume that these judges are making decisions based on public safety and justice when they've got a history of enforcing the law themselves? shouldn't we be looking at their record and seeing if it's really fair or unbiased? I'm not buying this "increased transparency and professional diversity" thing yet... where's the data to back that up? and what about all these "study authors" talking about how important it is to understand how judges' backgrounds shape decisions? shouldn't they be showing some actual proof rather than just saying it's a thing?
I think this is super concerning, especially with 1 judge being able to influence so much just by who they are. Like what if a cop thinks a person didn't do the crime because of something personal? That would be totally unfair and biased. We need more people in those roles who have experience on the bench, not in the streets. It's like they're trying to serve justice, but also keep the system corrupt.
OMG u guys, this study is like totally mind blown!!! I mean, who knew that judges with law enforcement background were more likely to detain ppl after their first court appearance? Like, what does that even say about the system? It's not fair at all, people are gettin detained just cuz some judge has a badge on his wall, it doesn't matter if they're impartial or not! We need change, like ASAP! And btw, Scrutinize is killin' the game with their research and advocacy
this study is like totally revealing some major stuff about NYC judges with law enforcement background... they're detaining more people after first court appearances and setting higher bail amounts 4 percentage points more likely to order detention than those without a law enforcement background? that's some serious power right there . And if you replace one judge with a law enforcement background, it can save the city $6 million over 10 years and avoid like 17 years of jail time . but what's really going on here? is this just a coincidence or is there something more sinister at play?
I'm not surprised by this study . It's like they're saying "Hey, we've got a problem with judges who used to be cops getting all the power". I think it's fair to say that having ex-law enforcement people on the bench can influence their decisions and lead to more detentions and harsher bail amounts . But at the same time, you gotta wonder what's driving this trend? Is it really about keeping people safe, or is it just about maintaining the status quo? I'm not sure what's gonna come out of this new committee or these reforms . What I do know is that we need to be keeping an eye on how our justice system operates and making sure it's serving everyone fairly, not just those who have power .
Can you believe it? Law enforcement judges are basically giving cops a seat at the table in the courtroom! It's no wonder detention rates are higher & bail amounts are getting crazy - it's like they're still in uniform . I mean, what's next? Judges who are also former politicians making decisions on laws? The whole system is messed up and needs a total overhaul. We need more transparency, accountability, and diversity in those appointments! It's time for some real reform, not just band-aid solutions
