Former judge who fixed 4,000 tickets won't have to do any jail time

A former municipal judge who admitted he changed 4,000 traffic tickets to give municipalities that employed him $500,000 won't be heading to jail.

Instead, at the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office request, Richard Thompson of Middletown will be allowed to enter the state's Pre-Trial Intervention Program, which allows first-time offenders to have their charges removed from their record if they meet the program's requirements.

Thompson's attorney, Charles Uliano of West Long Branch, confirmed that his client was admitted into the program Thursday before Judge David Bauman.

An investigation by the Prosecutor's Office found that between January 2010 and October 2015, Thompson, while working as a municipal court judge in nine towns, converted fines for those 4,000 motor vehicle citations into contempt of court fines.

If you are a judge, policeman or policewoman, an attorney, or a politician your sentence should

be double !!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is your job to know the law, enforce the law, write the law, or adjudicate the law your

sentence should be double !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After you serve your double sentence you should NEVER be employed in any of these positions again !!!!!!!!!

This country is so fucking corrupt and lawless !!!!!!!!
