The police enforces civil law just as same as criminal law. For example, most traffic infractions are civil and don't go "through actual Courts". 'Traffic' court is not an Article 3 court. The funny thing is that a short while ago the same people that demand criminal process for illegal aliens now could not stop themselves from mentioning that immigration infractions are civil, same as traffic violations. So it's not some obscure knowledge for the left...
- _DeadFred_ 8mo agoDo police arrests/detainments go through traffic court? Ice's day to day, reason for existing role goes through the equivalent of traffic court, not actual court with real judges putting them more on the level of meter maid than Police.
- pandaman 8mo ago>Do police arrests/detainments go through traffic court? I assume you meant "arrest warrants" because most arrests don't go through any court, the police employs sworn officers (same as ICE and other feds) who have a power to arrest upon a reasonable suspicion. And the police can and does serve administrative arrest warrants. I suppose those are rare from traffic courts but common from parole boards, for example.
- _DeadFred_ 8mo agoNo, I meant are police arresting and holding people on purely traffic court violations?
- pandaman 8mo agoI think I figured what your problem is. You have the whole process backwards. It's not the judge who orders the police around to catch criminals. The police catches criminals and gives them to the DA, who may bring them to court and ask a judge for a conviction. The police does not interact with courts other than testifying or serving warrants, its day-to-day business does not involve courts.
