No relief from judge? Tell their wives (or mamas)

Stephen Tepperman: Hmmm, client’s kid was manhandled by a LEO. Our legal team determined it was outside the officer’s legal mandate. We sued him for the full amount of his home. We caused his bank to foreclose. Suddenly client, his legal team and several others were subject to repeated police stops. We obtained names and badge numbers. Someone researched their spouses. The spouses were informed that if their husband persisted we would have no alternative but to seek similar legal remedies as were levied on their husbands’ colleague. One woman called her husband in the middle of his shift. Said if they lose their house, she will tell allllll of his deepest secrets. She will expose every guy in his division. Benevolent association tried to get her to shut up. She told them where to go and how to get there.
