Suspension For Dismissing Own Parking Tickets

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court imposed a one-year suspension on consent of a magistratial district  judge who dimissed three of her own parking tickets.

The tickets were issued for illegal parking in front of her own residence. The tickets were dismissed by the judge going into the computer system.

The conduct led to a misdemeanor conviction for tampering with public records.

There was mitigation, as we reported here in our discussion of the judicial discipline imposed as a result. (Mike Frisch)
