We need to sign him up for buckmasters. He'll think twice about messin with an aldeer member.

So it was a Polo? I dont agree with what was done to you like I said its pretty extreme. I had to go to court a couple months ago and the lack of respect of the majority of people in there was out of bounds. Wearing sweatpants, ass hanging out, talking, phones ringing and half of them slouched over in seats like they're on the couch at home watching tv. I wouldnt make it as a judge

Guys, this is America. If people want to dress like slobs in court, they have that right. Being able to cuff for any reason is beyond stupid. Kick them out, but do not arrest.

What were the charges against you? Miranda? Were you allowed councel? Were you given a citation? Court date set? I just don't understand how he could imprisson you for a shirt tail? Heck, why not tar n feather, the rack...or just a good ol fashioned firing squad???

Just held inn contempt,,, just held in cuffs for that long and released. Guess he was making a point. Who knows.... Never was officially arrested or frisked. Just hed against my will in cuffs with no breaks except for bathroom. And that was in cuffs to. Never spoke a word to the judge. The Baliff did and finally released me.

That's called being convicted and punished without due process the way I see it. I don't see where one individual can take someone's freedom away for 6 hours, intentionally create an arduous condition with handcuffs (you were obviously not a physical threat), and only release when it suits them, without a process in place.

good luck with a lawsuit; judge wilters and his family are outstanding members of the community and are loved by many. his daddy was one of the best lawmen ever in this county. obide by the rules of the court - judges have a great amount of leeway when it comes to "contempt of court". you ain't seen nothing - sit in judge buddy brackin's courtroom.

He's a Methodist!
That explains everything!

He may be, but he sounds like a dick that needs his ego cut back down to normal. My .02

x2..

Wonder how many democraps with there pants hanging around there azz he's done that 2?..I'm guessing 0

He is elected, he can be replaced. If he wronged you, make it your mission to accomplish that end.
I don't know the man but if he is judging people's character by the type of clothing they are wearing, he needs to reevaluate his methodology. I mean really, who tucks in a polo shirt?

If I was in court I would..

Exactly,,,,, I have lived in this community for 48 years myself. I consider myself an upstanding citizen. I have helped many a person an still do. One thing I can honestly sy though, Im not a dick.

So even if he was wrong. Would this make it okay?

And that is good, I would have mine tucked in as well, BUT not tucking in a shirt shouldn't be grounds for being detained by a power hungry dick of a judge.

He could have easily told Jmack he was not following dress code and ask him to leave his court,how can any of you think it's ok for a judge to cuff a man and hold him for 6 hours because of his shirt being untucked?his rules or not that's the most ridiculous abuse of power I've ever heard of

No, from this story, he sounds like an outstanding douche bag.

I may be wrong, and I can see him having his rules, and ejecting folks for not going by them...

But what chapter and verse is it a law book that a judge can arrest people (illegally) detain people based on the self created violation especially without warning? A judge interprets / adjudicates a law, he doesn't MAKE them up...

That is just bullchit
