N.Y. Judge Censured for Helping Arrest Motorist

November 30, 2009

A New York judge has been censured for following a motorist for more than a mile, pulling the man over by flashing his high beams and using a badge to persuade the driver to turn himself in to police to face two traffic citations. The state Commission on Judicial Conduct announced Wednesday that it was censuring Hudson Falls Village Justice Michael Feeder. Feeder told the commission that he saw the driver fail to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
