I know you were only being devils advocate but to be fair I think that there are a lot magistrates that are exactly as you described
Nosey? Actually knowing what goes on in your own community is a real eye opener. I know where my car is likely to get broken into, which houses have search warrants issued against them, who is beating their wife/kids, etc, but more often than not I can feel quite relieved that no matter how bad things can be at least my life is better organised than some of the poor fuckers out there. Alas, there isn't the opportunity to 'rig' things for friends and family, there is a stumbling block called perverting the course of justice ;o) It is a little unfair to compare them to the local councillors and MPs though as the MPs get a very healthy salary and other perks to distill the views of their community to the commons, similarly the local councillors get a nice allowance and better than average expenses to allow them to attend meetings. I on the other hand get mileage allowance (6 mile round trip) and £7.45 for my lunch and nothing for giving my time (but I don't think it should change) I doubt many MPs would have such a sense of public duty if the remuneration package was cut in half.
