Agreed. There is an assumption that all the Sheriffs and judges are good, while in the south, and Pennsylvania, this was shown not to be the case. In the south, it was a sheriff who was jailing kids, and in Pennsylvania it was a judge who put kids in jail for a kickback.

In Southern California a family law judge was actually censured for putting deceased people's real property on his name. He retired with full pension.

I would like to cite this, but my cell phone search engine and small screen prevent it.
