I've stood before a Justice of the Peace

and a county judge

but never a magistrate


I like an upstanding person.

In naval tradition, a mast is a non-judicial disciplinary hearing in which a commanding officer studies and disposes of cases involving those in his or her command. In most instances, it is referred to as a captain's mast. If an admiral is overseeing the mast, it is then referred to as an admiral's mast or a flag mast.

A captain's mast is a procedure whereby the commanding officer may:

* Make inquiry into the facts surrounding minor offenses allegedly committed by a member of his command;
* Afford the accused a hearing as to such offenses; and
* Dispose of such charges by dismissing the charges, imposing punishment under the provisions of military law or referring the case to a court martial.

My one job, I was there every other month. I asked one of the court officals if I could do a Lenny Bruce and get of picture of me surrounded by cops in front of the judge, with my trousers down and he asked me to leave. Some people have no sense of humour.

Yes - I was a police officer for 8 years and often went before the magistrate for court purposes.
