I have to agree with this guy's assertion that it is bothersome when magistrates file charges when citizens come in and make accusations without further evidence. Of course, I am suspicious that he has had a number of charges filed (smoke, fire) because he only asserted his right to throw people out of where they are living.
And the assertion that the system is set up so that lawyers can enrich themselves is laughable. I usually see two groups of people filing charges with magistrates. One is store owners who do things so as to invite crime so often that officers have told them they are on their own (one of our local stores would cash a $1,000 check written to Sadam Hussein and signed by Ariel Sharon). The other is people who have claims which the officers don't want to come to court for (such as a fight the officer did not see wherein no one was harmed) so they get sent to the magistrate themselves. Defendants in these cases are almost all court appointed and anyone who knows anything about Virginia's court appointed system knows that it is darn near impossible to get rich getting appointed in these sorts of cases.
