Great questions

I've been really enjoying your videos and its very refreshing to see a judge with an excellent sense of humor and common decency. Generally I do believe you are doing a fantastic job as a judge, however, recently there was a case I did disagree with and I would just like to hear a little of your input provided you have the time. Now, I am fully aware that you don't necessarily put the fines in place in regards to minimum/maximum, but you definitely do hold some power over adjusting the final amount paid, pay length, etc.. Red light violations typically carry a charge of $85 in Providence, running a red is a serious problem which can certainly end up in something disastrous. For the consequences which may come from running a red, I really don't feel the $85 is enough even for first time offenders (if they are flat-out guilty), but that's really just my opinion. My question is in regards to a young man you had on not too long ago who was fined $100 for playing loud music at noon. Why, as a judge that has been very fair and compassionate to his fellow man, did you see a $100 charge for a "crime" which has no victims as fair, but regularly (at least what is shown from the videos) reduce charges on more serious violations that have potential to hurt people? Thanks so much for your time and have a great day Judge Caprio!

Wow! That fine is absolutely monstrous! While its disgusting a violation of that caliber can have such a tremendous repercussion, I am happy to hear that the original fine was 5x more than what he ended up with getting so kudos to you for reducing it at the very least. I would update your description of this video to contain that information as quite a few people are a bit disgruntled over that ruling. I feel if that were in the description at the very least, most people would understand your position in the matter a bit better. Thank you for responding!

Yep, I feel the same way.
