Judge Simons praises police in Aiken Law Day address
Judge Charles E. Simons Jr. told the SERTOMA Club Law Day audience that praise for officers is essential while criticizing those who hinder law enforcement. He called police work delicate and dangerous and faulted liberal interpretations of the Constitution that he says hamstring investigations. He cited Miranda, the Exclusionary Rule, and Section 1983 suits as burdens on officers and taxpayers, but urged broad support for those preserving public safety. He noted the shift toward a more balanced judiciary under Chief Justice Warren Burger and thanked officers for protecting liberty and property.
