Judicial Fail: Georgia judge accused of pre-signing warrants for law enforcement officials

I have always suspected their was a lot of home cooking when judges determined there is probable cause for a warrant. This goes far beyond giving the police the benefit of the doubt...
ATLANTA (AP) - A prosecutor says a judicial watchdog agency is investigating a north Georgia judge for allegedly pre-signing warrants for law enforcement officials.

District Attorney Bert Poston said the Judicial Qualification Commission is investigating Chief Magistrate Bryant Cochran of Murray County over the accusations. Public defender Mike McCarthy said he was aware of the investigation.
