Top 10 Worst Places a Judge Can Be Arrested by the FBI
Let’s face it: nobody looks good getting cuffed by the FBI.
But when you’re a judge—you know, one of those robed titans of “justice” who can ruin your life with a yawn and a gavel drop?—the humiliation hits just a little bit different.
So, in honor of recent events, here’s a rundown of the Top 10 Worst (and Most Spectacularly Embarrassing) Places a Judge Can Be Arrested by the FBI.
You know, for purely hypothetical, non-career-advisory purposes.
#10. While Giving a “Justice for All” Commencement Speech
You’re 12 minutes deep into a passionate speech about ethics, character, and how “the law is blind but not stupid,” when two agents whisper in your ear mid-podium:
“Sir, the law is not blind, but you are now under arrest.”
Applause turns to gasps. Cue the slow clap.
#9. At a Massage Envy, Mid-Back Rub
That awkward moment when your arresting officer has to wait for the masseuse to lift the towel off your lower lumbar before slapping on the cuffs.
Bonus cringe if you requested “extra firm pressure.”
Even more bonus if it wasn’t a licensed masseuse.
#8. During Your Weekly Dungeons & Dragons Campaign
Your character? Lawful neutral.
Your actions? Chaotic evil.
The FBI? Rolling a Nat 20 on “Break and Enter.”
You: “Wait, wait, can I roll for immunity?”
#7. At Home… Wearing Nothing But a Robe
And not your court robe.
The fuzzy pink one.
With the matching bunny slippers.
As you scream “This is unconstitutional!” while your cat silently judges your poor life choices from the windowsill.
#6. In the Judge’s Chamber—During a Bribery Transaction
The irony here is so thick you could spread it on toast.
Nothing screams “clean conscience” like being arrested while accepting a suspicious envelope under your nameplate that literally says “Honorable.”
#5. While Trying to Evade a Jury Summons
Yes, judges can be summoned too.
And no, you can’t fake your own death to avoid it.
Especially not while posting on LinkedIn about how busy and important you are.
Your Honor, meet Karma.
#4. At a Youth “Ethics in Law” Workshop
You were this close to convincing the kids to consider law school.
Now they’re texting:
“Bro, Judge Jenkins just got wrecked by the Feds in front of the vending machine.”
Welcome to Career Day: Bonus Content Edition.
#3. While Yelling “Contempt!” at a Starbucks Barista
You demanded “extra hot” and now you’re threatening to hold the barista in contempt of court.
The FBI holds you in contempt of the Federal Criminal Code.
Also, your oat milk latte is now property of the U.S. Marshals Service.
#2. While Guest Judging a Local Dog Show
There’s something poetic about a judge getting arrested while awarding Best in Show to a Pomeranian named “Justice.”
Especially when the dog looks more qualified to wear a robe than you.
#1. On the Bench. During a Trial.
There’s no topping this one.
The prosecutor stands to make an objection,
The defense rises with a motion,
The bailiff leans in and whispers:
“Sorry Your Honor, you are now the defendant.”
Mic drop. Gavel confiscated.
And in that moment, the courtroom finally sees justice—ironically served.
Final Thoughts
Judges getting arrested is like seeing your high school principal in handcuffs at the mall—it’s awkward, hilarious, and deeply satisfying if you were ever sent to detention for chewing gum.
So, to all the robed rulers out there who thought the rules didn’t apply to you:
They do.
And if you’re gonna go down…
Just pray it’s not in front of a PTA bake sale or while hosting Judge Judy trivia night.
