Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Aldeer General Forum Lost Respect for our court...

Call Alexander shenananaranaranah,that's pretty f'd up,I could see him telling you to leave the room but not holding you in contempt,I'd definitely see what my options were and if I could take some sort of legal action

Backwards ass Alabama bullchit. I'd sue the snot out of the judge. Somebody needs to let him know its not 1945 and needs to come out of the dark ages. How can a judge get away with that silly ass chit? He obviously thinks he us above the law. Wow, total abuse of power.

Exactly, him and Obama must have private conversations cuz both are very confused about their position and responsibility to the people.

I'd be talking to an attorney.

And this situation might be ripe for setting up a sting on the judge and get it on concealed video. No way you could cell phone video it if he got that much sideways over a shirt tail.

Is this the same judge that has people arrested in his courtroom for cell phones ringing?

First I will preface this by saying that I think this is a little extreme, but as to those who say there should have been a warning, the judge would say that there was a warning. It was on the sign posted on the wall.

As to suing the judge, that won't get very far. If I'm not mistaken it would get no where under the doctrine of Judicial Immunity. As Clem said, It's his courtroom and he gets to make the rules of decorum.

Nailed it.

That I wouldn't have a problem with, cell phones etiquette, In my opinion is a major problem in today's society. Put it on vibrate and respect others around you.

Also, didn't Chief Justice Roy Moore of Al, get sued for the 10 commandants hanging on his wall?

I sat in a courteoom a long time ago with a friend. Before court the balif came in and went over the rules with everyone in the room, and cleadly explained the dress code and told people to leave if they didn't meet it, or the judge would find them in contempt when be arrived and saw their attire. About half the room left.

It should be mentioned to every rental firm when we call for reservations this year, BY ALL OF US.
Jmack, if you want me to put the judge's name on here, PM me.

They have no fear when there are few ramifications for them from the citizenry they judge.

I'm sure he was within the law, and a lawsuit would be futile. I would try this asshole in the court of public appeal. Have him on the news, the local FB pages, anything you can do to put the elected officials in the hot seat until this guy is reprimanded or removed from the bench. I agree 100% there has to be a certain decorum in the courtroom, but handcuffing a guy for 6h because he had a shirt untucked is bs and if it was me, I would be starting a revolution.

Sounds like you got caught up in an innocent mistake. It would have been nice if the judge told you to tuck it in.

Being devils advocate though, who would think it would be fine to waltz in a courtroom with out at least tucking your shirt in and looking presentable. I'm sure that judge has seen more than his share of folks coming into court dressed inappropriately and has zero tolerance for any attire he deems unfit.

In the few courtrooms I've been in, I was absolutely stunned at what people wore. I was in the Elmore county courtroom one time to show support for a family member. The folks that were filing in were in all kinds of attire and I remember just shaking my head. I was sitting on the back row with him and all I had on was a casual blue blazer and kahkis and by far the best dressed person there other than the lawyers up front. The judge stopped the proceedings and singled me out and asked if I wanted to come sit up front with the plantiffs or defendants. He thought I was a damn lawyer!!

I'm not saying one should put on the coat and tie but it's not like you're going into the corner gas station and buying a pack of slim jims and a tall boy. It's a courtroom and being neatly dressed and groomed should be mandatory IMO.

I hate that happened to you, man. I really do. I would just chalk it up to one of those life experiences that you can laugh about in due time!

Dr. B

I disagree with your conclusion. Just because its "his" courtroom and he gets to "make rules" to an extent doesn't mean he gets to do whatever he damn well pleases. What if he decides that untucked shirts mean he gets to taze you, anal rape you, beat the hell out of you, or whatever? You still agree it's his rules?

He ought to be able to remove people from the courtroom who can't show respect for the process of taking away someone's freedom/determining someone's innocence. But he doesn't get to just dole out whatever punishment his old redneck ass wants to either. Id like to read where one of these stories ends with a God-complex-judge getting his ass whipped for this type abuse of power.

I would make damn sure if I ever went back into his court room for anything that I would have my dang shirt tail tucked in. You would have 0% chance of winning a frivolous suit against a judge, it's his courtroom.

Typical abuse of power by another government entity... Cuffed for no shirt tucked in is ridiculous.... I don't care if it's a court room or a restaurant...that's pathetic.... Ask the damn man to leave....don't cuff the him... God I hope no one ever sneezes to loud...guess they could end up getting 20 to life for an actual disruption....

Why are you showing up in a court room in a T-shirt??? Getting cuffed for 6 hours may be a little extreme but so is thinking it's ok to go to court in a t-shirt.

I agree I wouldn't wear a tee shirt to a courtroom either but that might have been all the OP or others have to wear. But that's not the issue here. The fact that he was cuffed and place in jail for it is ridiculous.

There's got to be more to the story or this judge is on one big power trip.

Wasnt a regular tshirt like you thinking.... I do not wear button up shirts. this is a colored pull over shirt with a pocket. This is my daily attire, me being a NECK and all. As far as this judge goes, would love to kow what hunting club he was in because I would love to join it. Cause he is still a POS and this was takin it alittle to far. This is exactly whats wrong with our government today.

His name is Judge Wilters and this is the true story. Did not leave anything out cause Im not that way. Did not say anything to him or to ayone else as I was stting by myself. Yes, he is on power trip and anyone that has ever sit in his court will tell you the same. Just your everyday A-Hole......
