I don't think people literally voted for the judge to lock up a single mother of 3 girls for 500 days because of unpaid traffic tickets.
They voted for a judge because they thought he would be "tough on crime", or some other slogan. I am really speculating here. The reason though is a lack of information on the voters part. I am not sure how we solve that problem though.
Judges like this should be put disbarred so that they cant practice law or serve time themselves.

That's just your opinion, and you're in the minority. Probably most people in that jurisdiction are happy with the overall behavior of the judge.
Democracy doesn't care about the needs of the individual, only the wants of the group. The group wants exclusive use of a particular area, thus limits parking. Public streets with reserved parking, the antithesis of a functioning society.
