I like when government fights itself.

I just wish I didn't have to pay for it.

This proves that cops can disobey a judges order, but they will only disobey orders for other cops that happen to steal files from a defense attorney.

I think I'm coming to the point where I don't care.

I support people ignoring the diktats of judges. I abhor the police mentality of being special.

I think I just don't care when they come into conflict.

The bigger picture is that he is not being charged with violating attorney / client privileged . I also wonder how the judge who watched it happen gets away with such obvious malfeasance . Things like this remind me of quote about watering the tree of liberty . 

I have done some research into this and it seems several attorneys have been caught acting as messengers between the convicts and the out side world  , so they are taking steps to curtail that .. but the funny thing is that the sheriff's deputies have been much more active helping the prison gangs with outside communications .. wonder what they are doing to police themselves.

  The citizens really love that joe guy .. I guess they will end up getting what they deserve . I know Arizona is not a place I feel the need to visit .

I think I'm coming to the point where I don't care.

I need to learn to not care , maybe I would sleep better at night .

KEVIN, I am so grateful you have arrived to where we live:

I see this individual who is working towards a kind of grace, that is redemption. It is very rare for an individual to call his peers a majority to be so wrong, all by himself. At the least they will put him in a margin and call him insane. Take this man up and give him a hand, I'm sure he needs it.
Now we must revolt about the expansion of war, tonight 30,000 deployed by Obama with the support of Shaheen using our resources. I am not sure how to do revolt. I am not even sure I can pay my own way and revolt. But let us GO!!!!!!!

This proves that cops can disobey a judges order, but they will only disobey orders for other cops that happen to steal files from a defense attorney.

Under the doctrine of separation of powers, police are supposed to ignore illegal orders from judges.

Judges are supposed to ignore unconstitutional laws.

Legislatures are supposed to shut down judges and police who don't understand this.

And voters are supposed to fire all of the above when they get out of hand.

The reality is, it doesn't work that way. Corruption is a more powerful force than law or ballots.

When you're being chased by both King Kong and a tyrannosaurus, the trick is to get them to fight each other, giving you time to get away . . .

Document-Swiping Deputy Drama Continues

When last we left the standoff in Maricopa County, Arizona, Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe had given Dep. Adam Stoddard a deadline by which to apologize for swiping documents from a defense attorney's file in open court last month. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio vowed that Stoddard would not apologize. Stoddard then called a press conference Monday night in which he essentially thumbed his nose at Donahoe and continued to defend his breech of attorney-client privilege.

And since then? Yes, it's gotten even crazier.

    * The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office announced on Tuesday that Stoddard would surrender to jail ahead of his midnight deadline to aplogize. But when Stoddard showed up, the jail refused to book him, citing a "clerical error." Stoddard insisted on spending the night in jail anyway.
    * Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced he has filed a federal lawsuit against the county and its judges, alleging a "widespread conspiracy" against Arpaio and his officers. Arpaio remarkably and apparently with no self-awareness whatsoever called the county a "good ole boys network," and commented that he had "never seen these kinds of things occur in the justice system." Arpaio also called Donahoe's contempt finding against Stoddard a "vendetta," and said, "For political reasons, [Stoddard's] been thrown to the wolves."
    * Yesterday, the day after Stoddard spent a night in jail, 19 sheriff's deputies scheduled to work security at the courthouse called in sick, throwing the day's court proceedings into disarray. The building also had to be evacuated after a phone-in bomb threat.
    * As crowds returned after the bomb threat was cleared, the law enforcement unions commenced with a conveniently-timed rally in front of the courthouse, calling Stoddard a "victim" and demanding that he be released from jail.

Once again, here's video of the "victimized" deputy's actions that caused all of this:

MORE: Stoddard's fellow officers will be holding nightly candlelight vigils for their comrade—who, by the way, is being paid while he's in jail. Actually, as the linked New Times article explains, it's not even a certainty that Stoddard is actually in jail. No one is saying where he's being held, and there's apparently no record of him being booked

Some of the things the cops did as a result..

I think they've got a hold of the Free Stater Guide To Peaceful Disobedience.

And one of them made a bomb threat. Cops...
