But I will guarantee you that I will set this down for
trial and stick to the date, unless there are absolutely compelling conflicts that I can't get out of, to get you to
trial as quickly as possible. ~Judge Howard Matz, 08.22.2002.
The trial was delayedby him for over another year more. Are you baffled, too?
Canon 2:A judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities. ("A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny. A judge must therefore accept restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen and should do so freely and willingly.")
"The behavior that neither resulted in a conviction nor even an arrest but that was facially unlawful, and in any event a very chilling indication of the consideration as to how likely it is that he would commit further crimes is that he undoubtedly and indisputably set up this killercop.com web site; tried to arrest via citizen's arrest a law enforcement officer carrying out his duties in a courthouse; the indication that his wife has made, I'm not making any findings but it's in the record, and it resulted in an issuance of a domestic restraining order in New Hampshire that he was prone to violence or at least she claimed; and the demeanor that she displayed when she testified at the trial I find to be not only consistent with that but probably the result of that.
C. Nondiscriminatory Membership. A judge should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.
Canon 3: A judge should perform the duties of the office impartially and diligently. ("A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances in which the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party ... ")
Canon 5: A judge should regulate extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflict with judicial duties. ("Complete separation of a judge from extrajudicial activities is neither possible nor wise; a judge should not be isolated from the society in which the judge lives. The changing nature of some organizations and of their relationship to the law makes it necessary for a judge regularly to reexamine the activities of each organization with which the judge is affiliated to determine if it is proper for the judge to continue the judge's relationship with it. For example, in many jurisdictions charitable hospitals are now more frequently in court than in the past.")
Any justice, judge or magistrate of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
