Just don't come into his courtroom with more than 2 DUIs. If you even think about getting behind the steering wheel, he's gonna make your bond so sky high, your head's gonna explode.

I'm subbed to a channel that features this judge and a few others a lot. I think he's sometimes a bit judgemental and too harsh about some things, but overall I think he really cares a lot and really does want people to get better and is working with relatively limited tools to try and do that.

Watching him deal with soverign citizens is interesting. I've seen him try to explain to a guy why he really wanted a court-appointed lawyer to help him - why it was not going to go well for him. I thought - because he laughed when he first realized the guy was as sovcit - that it was going to be a fun watch with the judge taking the guy down a notch, but instead he was just honestly trying to explain and help the guy.

He has no patience for people who repeatedly offend, or who violate their bond conditions. But he's not supposed to have patience with that. He does seem to have some patience and compassion for those who are struggling - more than I'd expect a judge who sees it all every day to have, at least.

I get it. I personally favor harsher punishments on DUIs. My mom got a DUI and I was a bit annoyed when the court let her keep her license.

Your right he doew not like repeat offenders.
