This Louisiana Village Brought in $1 Million Through a Court Where the Mayor Is the Judge 

Then a Federal Court needs to bankrupt Fenton, Louisiana by ordering refunds and punitive damages against the town. In the meantime, the locals need to spread the word and completely avoid the city so that they don’t have anyone to pull over. This is a pipsqueak little nothing town that the people around them could deal with 100% legally all on their own.

This is historically how the south is run. Corrupt little villages robbing passerbys

I'd like to see the budget for this town, specifically the salaries of the town officials.

I have two counter-options. Look to our forefathers at Athens, Tenn., or #MakeTarAndFeathersGreatAgain! Get these damned carpet-baggers out and put The People in. Y'all neee to run for office and change them out!

Throw the Mayor Judge in prison. He has already broken the law.

Highway men robbing Americans at gun point on the roads in this town but its police officers. Just what has our country become?

And how much is going I to his bank account? Probably fraud!!

Straight up raping folks of money😮

wtf!! 226 people!!

I know right. Sounds like people better start following the law when they go through that town. Apparently, breaking the law isn't working out too well for all of those criminals.

When political candidates campaign on their intent to abuse and over-reach power, it's kinda hard to complain about the corruption of over-reaching abusive power after they are elected to do exactly that.

I have a case.

what justice system ?? we have a legal system no comparison if we had justice trump and his jan 6th tards would all be waiting for the gallows

I love stories like this. I'm sorry you got robbed. Just think of how many people were robbed

Yes filing federal complaints is how you end this. That is how we stopped it in small Arkansas towns.

Surprise any corrupt federal agency did anything considering the politics involved now

yet scoundrels are still out there doing BS

These violations should be presented to the Louisiana Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court. They are violating a Supreme Court Order. The Supreme Court can have U.S. Marshall's pick up this Mayor and shut this down immediately. Anyone who has been given a ticket or paid a ticket can file with the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for a referral to the FBI for criminal and or Federal Civil Rights deprivation of rights. The Governor of LA. Should immediately suspend or remove the Mayor from Office. Just telling it like it is. The Mayor has a vested interest in each case which is a ethical violation and makes each have a fundamental flaw by the vested interest and influence of such. Criminal Mayor... come on man

Why would they....where do you think the town gets the monies for payroll?

Feds are the only ones who will stop it. File a complaint with the FBI they actually do love going after small town governments like this. File a complaint.

They're mafia in Clark Co IN and Nassau Co NY.

The voters of the town should be ashamed.

This happens all over the USA.

😆 🤣 And you kept paying. No wonder these towns do this.

@@user-zu5do6ri6r Great idea! Just refuse to pay tickets. I'm sure that would have worked out great. I bet you don't even pull over when the blue lights are behind you. You're my hero.

All tickets are theft.

The way they win is it’s easier to pay $400 than to hire a lawyer

exactly how the hell do the law of the united states allow this. this asshole is not qulified to be a judge..

Last I checked a mayor or judge is not a prosecutor. Your analogy is incorrect

@@1stchoice128Louisiana law allows it. It’s been that way for years and years.

@@courtneesdad your claiming Louisiana allows the mayor to be a prosecutor and judge? Ohio has mayors courts and the same rules apply. And no where does it allow you to be the judge and prosecutor. The video even says the same thing that they can’t

$350 for what offense? The cop pulling her over had a cracked windshield! The court might want to go for $450!

Yeah, so? It's the literal business model. All prisons in Louisiana are > Privately < owned.

There is a better way to beat Any traffic ticket WITHOUT going to court. Within 72 hrs of getting ticket, send the ticket to the “Court clerk” with a “Notice” letter that says this. Dear Clerk of Court (or Whomever is the designated Receiver) I am returning this ticket Receipt. There has been a Mistake. I was not given the original wet-ink signature copy by the patrolman and have nothing to base payment on as a result. Please remit the wet-ink signature copy at your earliest convenience. Sincerely , __________________ Do NOT fill out the ticket Or write anything on the ticket copy. 95% of the time you will not hear back from the court. The reason is the Town monetized the ticket and made a bond from it. They don’t have the original. And by law ( Fair Debt Act ) you must have the original in order to pay. So what usually happens is you go to court a few weeks later and then the judge fines you guilty and you pay the fine. So the Town is double dipping. Now if you do hear back from the town asking you to come into court than send another letter like this. 2ND NOTICE Notice to Agent is Notice to Principal , Notice to Principal is Notice to Agent Town Court 123 ( Street name ) city , state , zip Dear Clerk of Court (or Whomever is the designated Receiver) I am returning this ticket Receipt. There has been a mistake. I was not given the original wet-ink signature copy by the patrolman and have nothing to base payment on as a result. Please remit the original wet ink signature copy at your earliest convenience. I DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY PROCEEDINGS. I did NOT make ANY Pleadings by mail. I have NO contract with the court. Please follow due process of the law. The court clerk can be held accountable for Failure to do their Fiduciary Duty. Research “The Fair Debt Act “. Please remit the original wet - Ink signature copy at your earliest convenience. Send it to me by certified mail ,return receipt requested. Sincerely , ______________ I did this with 4 tickets from the same town. 2 tickets in 2020 and 2 in 2022 I got pulled over by the same cop and he remembered me. The first 2 tickets were no insurance and switched plates. This was during covid and DMV was not open and could not get tags. The 2022 tickets were no valid inspection and false inspection sticker. I was taking the car to the junk yard. But anyways I do not condone breaking traffic laws like speeding , running redlights , stopped signs ect…. I learned this info from a Female Judge in Alaska . This is how to fight back Share this info with everyone. How to beat any traffic ticket WITHOUT going to court. I have done this myself with 4 tickets. If Everyone did this then the towns and courts would loose a lot of money and go out of business. This is one way to take back America from the corrupt police and towns and court system that is rigged against the citizen. Dont let them extort money from you ever again.

@@theoryofpersonality1420 not parish jails, which is where most locals end up

File a federal complaint. Doesn't cost money it's just that people aren't taught how and when to do it.

Dude......this level of corruption deserves federal prison time.....the reason we are in this boat is because people don't stand up to it

The people who live in Fenton don’t get tickets, they don’t care.

lol they writing the tickets to the OUTSIDERS !! why would the corrupt relatives of the mayor care ?

The prisons are privately owned. The state has no power over them.

What public official can't give an interview to the people? A total $hitbag!

They've so effectively rigged the voting process that even though you can't find a single individual that's voted many of these individuals into office, they continue to be elected with "landslide victories" at the voting booth.

Mostly because the locals aren't affected....I'm sure they grab as many out of towners as possible

In Louisiana, that's just the way it is, it will never change.

I'm guessing the locals are benefitting from the scheme. The village generates over 1 million from traffic tickets and 13k from other sources. There's plenty of money to pay for police, water, sewer, etc. and the residents don't have to pay for it.

Yea he want to have more money in his pockets

The town elected him to do exactly this. That was his campaign promise, and he's kept it. So.. he IS being held accountable for all of it, and that is why they keep electing him.

Love it just Love it

You believe the fake news talking points. I am unsurprisingly unshocked.

@@ThatOpalGuy because you know me.

@@SonoftheWars as well as you know journalism 👏

​@@ThatOpalGuyHow is this fake news? Sounds like you're the one who should be shocked... Get a life troll...

For what? The town made the law way before he ever became mayor . He isn't breaking the law. But the laws need to be changed immediately

He's Just a Small fry His Boss's have Lots to hide!

Yes he can. I just watched a few videos of the Mayor of Doton,Illinois . She used the town credit card like a stolen one. If you want to see a bad Mayor watch a few videos about her.

So now we should lock up politicians who keep their campaign promises and have the full support of their constituency? Because that's what we are talking about here.

In Ohio you can insist your case be sent to a court of record, which would cause your case to be sent to the county court. The Mayor's court cannot refuse to do so.

File a federal complaint with the FBI.

I agree

​@darkkingastos4369 yea because they are not corrupt either huh?!

@@George-dy3pt it's worth a shot. That's why local elections are more important, for the things we, as individuals and/or families care about, followed by State elections; and we should just scrap Federal elections, since most are career "criminal politicians", who may have gone with the people who sent them in mind, and to help their State, but soon them become addicted to the power, and NOTHING ever gets done, without hidden agendas and special pork paybacks to their big donors. Instead of passing a Bill on a specific issue, they make it several thousand pages of hidden payouts, exceptions, and deals that will make them and their family rich. Even the injustice department, sending the FBI after parents, for speaking out against CRT curriculum, which the head of the injustice department, atty general Garland's son inlaw's publishing company published. They stood to lose a lot of money if schools didn't purchase the curriculum. If they could

Welcome to Louisiana. Language here is… unique.

like may

He’s black so lol

lawyer up

Welcome to America the third world country.

Just in Louisiana...

In other words the U.S. got exactly what they keep electing?

formed or joined a 2a militia yourself? want change, BE the change.

@@autonomouspublishingincorp8241 no the election was rigged from here on out.

Most of the judges in the south don’t have a law degree. It’s been that way for a very long time.

All the appointed magistrates across the country are the same.

​@@MichaelAmmons-nc6vx that's completely false

Well U know what they say about stuff running down hill It always starts a the TOP!

@@MichaelAmmons-nc6vx High time this scam stops then, what has the gouvernor or senator to say about this?

You would rather the innocent pay for crime?

Do you see where he is from? Who taught him english and who taught them and who taught them... yeah its messed up they're pressing people but they're doing EXACTLY what Coffee County, Texas is doing. They same thing they've been doing since Louisiana's inception. I believe its best if we leave this as a LOUISIANA issue like the CONSTITUTION says.

@ValterHackenstein They are still part of America, and Americans pass through their town. That one lady never intended to be there. She was diverted off the interstate. We all have rights. If they are going to put armed road pirates on their streets, they have to follow the same laws as the rest of the road pirates. Someone could get hurt. When children play adult games, they have to have adult consequences.

Typical southern black. Not racist, just fact.

Yep, all true. I used to pass thru there and the first time, I laughed when I saw giant "SPEED TRAP" warning signs just outside of the towns of Waldo, Starke and Lawtey. But my buddy who was traveling with me, told me it was no joke, and that AAA actually paid for them. Didn't their mayor get arrested for selling Oxycodone? Floriduh...

With exception to that conclusion, you'd basically described every municipality in the U.S.A.

Yes and file a criminal complaint with the FBI. They love doing this stuff but people never file complaints and hire civil lawyers that waste time and get nothing done. Don't hire a lawfirm GO TO THE FBI and file a criminal complaint then they have to look into it.

No dice. While ALL states agreed to the Constitution, and the Constitution does require the government to provide trial by jury; NO state applies this constitutional standard to traffic court, and thus far no court has found the courts in violation of the constitution for denying all people this basic constitutional right. In order to challenge these kangaroo courts, you would need to remove ALL kangaroo courts, which means all traffic courts across the nation. Incidentally; NO judge is required to have legal degrees. Not even the Supreme court of the United States.

DOJ is a joke is they was for real this guy would be in jail for pretending to be a judge here in california this guy would get his ass locked up so fast for being a fake judge.

They are corrupt, too. But you are right. It is their job. I got shot at for edit:-this- these government bullies. It’s wrong.

I’m a cop and I’d be miserable if I lived in a town or even a neighborhood that was only cops. It’d be like that SpongeBob episode where Squidward moves to the town that is only inhabited by other Squidwards. It’s supposed to be like 1 officer per hundred residents at most. Any more and it’s complete overkill.

In one small city in southern Oregon, the municipal court judge is a pro tem, an area attorney on contract to the city. The city also has retainers with many law firms in the area so any law firms with a practice that might go against the city is provided a small retainer to create a conflict. We could not find a firm without a conflict in the southern 2/3 of the state.

ALL judges are ultimately paid out of fines, fees and prison budgets. a judge who normally dismissed the case, or let's the actual law matter, does not remain a judge long.

Only Ohio and Louisiana allow this. That means 48 states have no clue.

I call this smart 😂

There is a little town in TX with a population of 250 ppl. They had 50 cops on the books. All had been fired, suspended, all kinds of issues. The chef had a warrant for a dui in FL. The department was disbanded.

Ohio should bring back the Justice of the Peace system. It worked better than this sham.

Who said that it was?

What town

ROFLMAO. You got busted and now you want to claim its their fault you chose to not wear your seatbelt and got caught. Let me guess? Mississippi? Or Texas? Both fill the highways with bad drivers.

Common practice is that the firms in the state are on contract to create conflicts. In other words, there is no one licensed in the state who can take that case.

4:26 I see in the blurry document a line for $1,163,909 for "General government". That sort of vagueness is troubling, and an invitation for fraud.

The NAACP is not jumping because this colored person is advancing...They are the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The mayor is getting his reparations. 🤑

Knee gas court

Because he blatt.

What does the NAACP have to do with anything? Do you mean the ACLU?😊

@@victorowens9150 He's reaching at straws. They aren't known for their intelligence.

In 2014, same thing happened in Gretna traffic court. I tried to contest a ticket and was shut down by the judge without an opportunity to explain my situation. Mine was for no brake tag after replacing windshield. I had receipts and got the brake tag that day. Judge didn't care. $250 ticket and I was unemployed. I heard Gretna is known for ticket traps and lack of empathy. As a result, ten years later, I avoid Gretna. I spend zero dollars in that city, I drive under the speed limit through it and refuse to spend a penny within Gretna city limits.

Native buckeye here. If I remember correctly that speed trap ensnared several state lawmakers who traveled through there. Only then did it get any attention.

That is correct, however, it was dissolved because the village did not file the correct paperwork to maintain its village status not because of the speed trap.

And how would you file such an action if THAT is the same judge who would have to decide the case?

out of state. expected to just write a check.

Noticed that this is a local news station, which I wouldn’t characterize as main stream media. They are in affiliate, but I feel like local stations aren’t controlled or have an agenda like the national networks are. But I agree with your sentiment, nevertheless.

Trump publicly committed treason and murder and people still don't believe it. The problem is not the media. It's the stupid consumer.
