Wallkill Town Court

These mutants take bribes. Also the court staff are terrible. Typical ladies who clearly have no personal life outside of work. Very miserable staff.

Idk about everyone else but this talk of taking peoples money is essentially a part of it, but moreso it seems to deter an even more overwhelming amount of money and time from going to state dmvs as result of surcharges, suspensions and such! If someone gets a moving violation like speeding amended into something without any points for a little more money it is a very positive thing for many, and on the other hand those with no points have the option to take their expected hit pay less in the moment and then be given license points which often lead one to the dmv anyway as well as heightened insurance rates! I definitely don’t not support giving more to local Municipal and enforcements as opposed to IMO needlessly and inadvertently giving even more power to the dmvs which have become such a stagnant environment in so many cases that are still in need of much improvement! People Are often hard on themselves and are left feeling awkward accepting a leniency they do not fully understand from a system they may not fully trust, when in fact is also very understandable for many sadly! Most other courts are not as fair or understanding as this one was in my and all others with relatively minor offenses

All the staff, including the District Attorney and the Judge, are courteous and professional. The judge earned my respect when, even though the person pled guilty, he threw out the citation because he felt it was frivolous. While I can appreciate negotiating a plea to a lower charge with the same fine, I feel that the public would be better served if there was a community service option in lieu of the fine. Most people value their time more than their money and that would make community service more of a deterrent than a fine.

Be nice to the court staff they are there to help

The town of Wallkill court is a legalized version of organized crime. The role of governement is to protect its people, not bend them over for every cent they can squeeze out of its people. It is obvious that there is a large amount of corruption in this towns government.
