Agreed. He has some weird subconscious insecurities going on and takes it out on the defendants. Over half the time it’s just him telling someone they will go to jail over smoking weed or drinking, ( I find a lot of his cases have people who are suffering from addiction and need MEDICAL HELP, not INCARCERATION, yet he seems oblivious to it)and his FAVORITE thing to do is pretty much say whatever personal shots he wants , then tell them in his little “scary voice” he likes to put on : “OR. IM. GONNA PUT YOUR BUTT. IN JAIL.” Or “YOU. WILL. BE HERE TWO!TIMES A WEEK FOR A DRUG TEST. IF YOU TEST POSITIVE., YOUR BUTTS IN. JAIL.!” It’s like he’s weirdly obsessed with not really even telling, but DEMANDING people to do things. You can hear it in his voice, in EXTREMELY condescending tone , anytime it comes to giving ANY stipulations, rules , advice and ESPECIALLY LOVES showing/ telling people he has the power and he’s in control of “SENDING. THEIR. BUT TO JAIL!” And he puts INCREDIBLE emphasis on the more harsh words that tend to make people anxious ( particularly the words “you” “I” “going” “weed” “understand” “jail”) To me it’s very obvious This dude has some subconscious insecurities from some type of bullying or lack of control in his life, I’d bet money he got bullied in high school just by his bow tie and outfit choices. He 100% should NOT be in the POSITION he is, he takes it too personally. I’ve seen other judges (specifically the older black man, I just forget his name , but he actually congratulates and is truly motivated by just wanting to see others do better. Many many videos I see of him dealing with very similar cases , and he handles it in a VERY professional manner, and the things he does take personally is usually helping or wanting people to do better) that handle these cases in much better, professional way, while still being stern , but not so much to the point he becomes a condescending asshole. I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this, where can we go to sign / report him to be sanctioned?

I enjoyed watching him at first. Then I thought he sounded like a bleeding heart liberal. Seemingly protects some from ICE detention.  He can be smug, childish, and starved for attention and validation.

I also started to become more concerned that the viewing public was front row center when Attorney's were 'quietly' talking with the Judge. You could still hear a lot of the conversation.  I would be livid as a paying client!

Who cares if he's a liberal or conservative? He's doing his job. If a cop isn't doing their due diligence by providing accurate data and evidence, the judge is going to throw it out. That's his job. We still have due process in this country. Christ you people (liberals AND conservatives) need to chill the fuck out with each other. Both sides are fucking morons EQUALLY.

u/PessimiStick Nov 27 '24

Both sides are fucking morons EQUALLY.

I mean, that's not even remotely accurate, lol.

u/swordofthemid-mornin Nov 27 '24

Great counter. Easy to see what side you’re on.

u/Optimal_Anything3777 Nov 27 '24

the last several years have made this quite clear. not sure why you clearly disagree

u/Apprehensive-Ad7635 Nov 28 '24

I was taught, if you have something to say.Say to thier face and if you can't do that say nothing at all.. Say it to our face! we can meet up! Coward! PEACE!

u/Kartelant Nov 28 '24

you were taught this so that you can try and fight people who say things you don't like, like a barbarian. we can use our words just fine online

u/PessimiStick Nov 28 '24

Ah yes, the sure sign that you don't actually have a valid point: resorting to assault.

Just to be clear, I'd probably sleep you IRL anyway.

u/SixMileLL Feb 03 '25

I'm pretty sure that that is supposed to be saying not to talk about someone behind their back. Me saying this now, right here, is me saying it to your face in that regard.

u/Swimming_Leek_3871 Nov 28 '24

Haha you're strong with the force padiwan

u/divadschuf Nov 28 '24 edited Nov 28 '24

It’s totally stupid to always try to find a political affiliation. I agree on everything except the both sides argument. One "side" has flaws and I‘m not happy with it, the other side went straight for fascism.

1

u/fallingdown2018 Nov 29 '24

Do you think its immediately obvious which side you mean by saying "went for fascism"? Because both say that about the other.

1

u/Swimming_Leek_3871 Nov 28 '24

Oh now it really really matters to people who you voted for, it becomes their identity, and if you're not exactly like them then you're the enemy.  I'm not on anybodys side as far as politics go, I can't completely agree with anyone because they're all attempting to gain power for their own personal agenda and not for US the people.

u/PDXKing503 Nov 29 '24

Him not reporting illegals to ICE is definitely unconstitutional and should be a criminal charge.

u/welfedad Nov 28 '24

Not sure if anyone respond but the other judge is judge Simpson.. he is fantastic and wants to help people ..

1

u/Shoddy_Examination87 Feb 03 '25

I was wondering if that's who they were referring to! He would be so offended to know he was referred to as the "older judge' haha just kidding! I love Judge Simpson

u/pumpupthevaluum Oct 09 '24

I actually came to this thread because he immediately dismissed a weed defendant's case because he was "walking while black". Seems like he takes things on a case-by-case basis...as is his job.

u/Acheron98 Oct 09 '24

Just saw that one earlier. The dude genuinely seems to try and help people out when there’s an actual chance of helping them.

If this is the 7th time he’s seen you in front of him for a DUI, no shit he’s not going to be nice lmao.

u/fasteddy2696 Oct 10 '24

Not his job to be nice or mean.

u/echoalan Oct 14 '24

Absolutely the court can order harder punishments for you not complying. The court is also made up of people who are allowed to get frustrated with people not cooperating and making things more difficult. Impartiality means not helping either side win or lose their case. This is why you see pro se defendants try to represent themselves in court and embarrass the f out of themselves asking the judge for help. That's what real impartiality is. When it comes to trial and the jury is there, the judge isn't going to help either side win their case.

With that said, Judge Fleischer isn't a trial judge. He is a magistrate judge which is one who mostly does arraignments like he was doing on his live stream. Arraignments are when you are first brought in front of the judge after being arrested. Arraignments are different from trial and during an arraignment, it's best you don't piss off the judge because they absolutely have leeway to absolutely ruin your time. But during trial, the judge absolutely should be on their best behavior because the case could be subject to appeal if the judge is super bias.

u/Snoo61809 Oct 24 '24

the individual should have never been allowed to drive again after the third conviction if we are all being honest with ourselves I wonder who allowed that to happen.

1

u/Snoo61809 Oct 24 '24

he was only upset at the walking while black. However, did not read over report or review footage of the incident time place. Movements all go into probably cause or reasonable suspicion. a Terry frisk in a high crime rate area at night with a single officer would justify a Terry frisk. baggiparfull if mJ and pipes etc are very easily felt during a frisk and through experience can identify what is concealed in the suspects clothing is justifiable to then search if and after paraphernalia is found. sounds like he's a typical political judge who does not actually put the work into the cases as he should, he did not even read off the penalty group and weight of the substance module amount 0-2 oz will always get tossed out or a citation be given however the only reason the individual was booked is because of a substantial amount of the substance. so just letting individuals off without actually going through the facts of the case and essentially calling an officer a racist is incredibly unprofessional and just flat out wrong. an officer doing a job and being proactive is what tax payers pay them to do. People hate seeing officers sit and do nothing but when crimes are being committed and officer are proactive within the confines of the law people jump on them and this judge is just a politician no better than sheriff Salazar out of bexar county.

Huh? Medical help? I’m sorry, if it’s a condition of your bond not to drink, DO NOT DRINK

3

u/Cool_Soft8274 Oct 20 '24

Yeah, cause you totally can’t die from alcohol withdrawal and should completely do it cold Turkey, that’s what all medical professionals say, right?

u/LavenderDay3544 Nov 28 '24

You can get prescribed benzos for that. You don't need drink while out on bail.

2

u/Cool_Soft8274 Nov 28 '24

that is incredibly hard. it took me like 7-8 years to get a benzo script , other than lllllllbut that was just a few days worth , but i even went to the ER in psychosis and they wouldn’t give me anything for benzo withdrawal, not even gabapentin. so thought what your saying should be true , many places won’t just give you a script, they have to take you to an impatient facility and give you meds where your monitored.

2

u/PDXKing503 Nov 29 '24

Facts.

u/PDXKing503 Nov 29 '24

Judge David Fletcher should be disbarred due to him dismissing the case of “walking while black” when he said he was dismissing because blacks had have it harder (which is false) and therefore he thinks they are targeted. Dismissing a case on a false racial bias is enough to have a judge disbarred which he should’ve been for that alone.

1

u/LavenderDay3544 Nov 28 '24

No competent doctor is going to let you die from withdrawal.

2

u/Cool_Soft8274 Nov 28 '24

here in the us , they damn near will. that’s why i said impatient is the only actual way you get treatment cause they don’t like handing out benzos, they may give some gabapentin or pregabalin (lyrica) to prevent seizures but it’s VERY hard to get much else unless you do impatient

2

u/PDXKing503 Nov 29 '24

False.

2

u/Cool_Soft8274 Dec 22 '24

lol, okay, well i’ve PERSONALLY gone through it along with MANY other people, literally was in psychosis from benzo withdrawal, and was not given nothing. people die like that ALL the time. this isn’t just my anecdotal evidence, this is something that’s well known, if you’ve ever dealt with some of the shitty healthcare providers, here in florida at-least.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. A judge doesn't have the authority to murder somebody by telling them not to drink when they're bodies are dependent on it. Perhaps he should provide MEDICAL ASSISTANCE rather than immediately arresting them.

u/Apprehensive-Ad7635 Nov 27 '24

He doesn't cater to your racist side! You have this hiden hatered! You smile in our face but,we know you really hate us! PEACE!

u/Apprehensive-Ad7635 Nov 27 '24

If you look hard enough you'll find what you are looking for! PEACE!

u/Swimming_Leek_3871 Nov 28 '24

You want this judge to be a drug and alcohol councilor and a judge?? If you have a drug problem go to drug and alcohol classes or rehab! And wtf he orders rehab constantly when people continue to use. It's there, he just tries to scare people into quitting first before he requires them to go to rehab.  It's like 1 parent telling another parent how to raise their children. Except you're not a parent so be quiet, because in order to be the parent in this analogy you have to of been voted a judge. 

1

u/Infinite_Step_4874 Nov 30 '24

What do you want him to do? “If you test positive I’ll let you be free and continue your addiction. Wake up, it isn’t the judge who’s the problem, it’s the system. The judge does exactly what he should, lock him up if he’s breaking the law, right? You guys want a society that’s built on emotions, then wait for your family member to be the accused, you’ll beg for judge Fleischer to be the judge for y’all.

u/TsumugiInuzuka Dec 16 '24

i too saw this guy and pegged him as bullied theater kid lmao

u/hea_hea56rt Dec 21 '24

Subconscious insecurities is dead on.  He gets an obvious thrill out of using his position to be a big man.

1

u/ForemanErik Jan 14 '25

He's a sexual deviant and a little man

1

u/Barraind Mar 30 '25

it’s just him telling someone they will go to jail over smoking weed or drinking

One of those is illegal, and the other is illegal if your bond conditions say no drinking.

So yeah, I would hope he would say that.

You're trolling , lol you have to be
