Three wrongs don't equal a right?

Here is a story out of the Palm Beach Post. A judge possibly driving on a suspended license, a local attorney who is angry at the judge and tries to catch him in the act, the local police shooing the lawyer away. You can't tell who is right and wrong from the Post's account, it could be all three are wrong. The Judge not thinking the law applies to him the attorney thinking he enforces the law and the police who look the other way. I'm guessing someone is wrong, hopefully the police will see the laws are enforced. Our legal system needs to be held to a high degree of integrity. Otherwise all are stained.

WEST PALM BEACH — Lawyer Bill Abramson usually applies brash tactics to get people out of traffic crimes.

But recently he staked out a person hoping to capture him in a crime — a judge, driving with a suspended license.

Abramson took up watch outside the judicial parking garage Friday trying to nab Circuit Judge Martin Colin in the act, according to a sheriff's office report.

Abramson was unsuccessful — patted down by a sheriff's deputy and sent on his way instead.

Colin reportedly got a ride home with another judge that evening.

According to Colin's driving record, his license was suspended for two weeks in late April. Colin declined to comment publicly on the matter, except to say he wasn't aware his license had been suspended.

The judge has a plausible explanation. According to records, Colin received a speeding ticket in Osceola County and failed to return his not-guilty plea and paperwork to the office in time, resulting in an automatic suspension April 18.

In the meantime, paperwork was issued saying everything was cleared up. But it was sent by snail mail and not filed locally until Monday, when his license was restored.

On stakeout day, Colin had dressed down Abramson in open court, telling him he had been far short of professional when trying a DUI case. That's when Abramson beelined for the judge's driving record.

"What can I tell ya? He's a judge. He's not above the law," Abramson said.

Colin normally hears divorce and family law cases. He had volunteered to take over Abramson's DUI trial for another judge.

"No good deed goes unpunished," Colin said.

The judge has averaged a speeding ticket every 18 months since 1994.
