A Judge is not a God
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luciana Tamburini case refers to the episode in which the traffic officer Luciana Silva Tamburini was convicted of contempt of court for stating that the judge João Carlos de Souza Correa was a judge but not God, when approaching him at a traffic blitz of the "Lei Seca" operation on February 12, 2011.

The judge was driving without a valid driver's license in an unregistered and undocumented automobile and was fined by Tamburini. After a discussion, Correa arrested the officer.[1][2] Correa's behavior was the subject of a disciplinary process and was judged by the Special Body of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice, which deemed the magistrate's conduct appropriate.[3] The episode sparked outrage and expressions of support for the traffic officer and demands for justice against Correa, both in the media and on social networks.[1][4][5][6]
