Florida judges suck just as much as the Florida cops
While Florida cops are busy creating revenue under the guise of being cute helper-elves, Florida judges are frying bigger fish. Or at least, Judge John Sloop was. Said bigger fish being, in this instance, 11 violent criminals whom Sloop sent to the big house.
Only, they weren’t actually violent criminals. They were folks who showed up late to traffic court, where they were set to face charges for things like having illegal tags or driving with a suspended license. But Sloop didn’t care. They were late, and so to the clink they go! And that they got to have strip searches? Well that’s just a freebie!
The complaints made by these 11 ungrateful citizens (seriously, who doesn’t want a free strip search), were apparently the latest of many conduct complaints against Sloop, who has now been ruled unfit to remain on the bench by the state Supreme Court.
The 57-year-old judge admits that his actions were wrong, but then tries to cop out by blaming it on a previously undiagnosed attention deficit disorder. Because, you know, ADD apparently makes you stupid.
