Update: According to the news. Judge Gary Helms was reprimanded with a different judge due to his misconduct and some violations. Some of them were failing to comply with the law, failure to promote confidence in the judiciary and failing to avoid abusing the office of judiciary, etc. I was the victim of domestic violence and get charged with the same crime by this judge. I’m glad the court reprimanded this man. I have to live my life with a record because this judge abuse his power and denied to hear my side of the story even when my ex failed to appear in court. She had been charged for domestic violence for beating me up with multiple objects the first time when we lived in Olathe. Since I moved to independence I had ran into this judge twice for different situations and he always look at me differently because I’m Asian. The first time he charge me for some logs behind my own backyard and fine me without giving me time to clean it up and the second time for dv assault when I was the one who called the police for help. I know this review is long but I’m just trying to get this off my chest. I’m just happy that he’s no longer a judge for independence for the sake of the community. I’m still trying to get my case expunge to this day. Hopefully the legislative pass a law to where I can expunge this off my record. God bless America!

The 1st judge I encountered, Judge Helm, was curt, and rude, and accused me of asking for 2 continuances when it was actually the court who imposed them, as he imposed yet another, 3rd, continuance.This court appearance was because a cop accused me of running a stop sign, which was NOT true. When the judge, Susan Watkins, finally heard my case, she wasn't interested in hearng the details of my case or looking at the photos I had. So, without considering the details, especially the photos, to prove my innocence, she found me guilty! But to her credit, she waved the fine, 92.00, and only charged me court cost, 31.50. Still, it's a mark on my driving record.
Judge Helms (Gary) is short , rude , won't give you a chance to explain anything , he's very inconsiderate and needs not to be a judge! ! He doesn't care to find out the truth he's just ready to get outta there and go home !
With all that revenue you're pulling in from ticketing your people you should be able to fix your damn website so we can pay those tickets online.
Got a seatbelt violation after I was rear-ended sitting at a red light... I took my seatbelt off to get out of the car.... How does that mean I was driving without it? *Because you didn't put your vehicle in park before getting out* was the answer I received. Everyday I lose faith in the independence PD and all the people working at this courthouse...
