These appointed arseholes think they have free reign to inpose their personal pet peeves on the public. If his wife had given him a bj the night before, this probably would have never happened. Liberal judges run amok. This is something that is out of control; there needs to be something put into our system of checks and balances about rogue judges,]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[twilkins007]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2008 9:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judge Slaps $200 Fines On Men Whose Cell Phones Rang In Court]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[twilkins...you are an idiot.<br><br>  You sound like you may have been one of the two jerks who didn't turn their cell phone to vibrate when they entered the courtroom and got caught.<br><br>The fines should have been double what they were.  <br><br>You go, judge!!<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chrismid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 1:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judge Slaps $200 Fines On Men Whose Cell Phones Rang In Court]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[WOW! what a tough judge....you get- em judge..hope you act that fast on killers and rapists..go get-em buddy..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Coquillard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 6:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judge Slaps $200 Fines On Men Whose Cell Phones Rang In Court]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone with brains would know that you have to shut a cellphone off in court.  can we say....ignorant?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Debbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 9:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judge Slaps $200 Fines On Men Whose Cell Phones Rang In Court]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/judge-slaps-200-fines-on-men-whose-cell-phones-rang-in-court/</guid><description><![CDATA[The sad thing is a large percentage of people would sit there and have a conversation after it rang if they could get away with it.

You need to do a little research on what "contempt of court" is.  In my circuit there are signs posted everywhere about not having cell phones in the courtroom.  People just dont want to go back down 3 flights of stairs to put them in their cars.  Then, before the judge even starts with the docket, he makes announcements that if a cellphone goes off he will fine the person 500$ and confiscate their phone.   This is pretty much the practice of every judge I have ever come across in central Florida.  So, 200$ is nothing....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LEO]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 3:31PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
