I don't think this is really comparable to most of the other Judge shows. Most of the famous ones people would think of aren't real active judges in real courtrooms. It's just a staged thing where the participants are basically paid to be on a 1 episode arc of a "reality" show.

This is just extra TV equipment being set up at real traffic court with Caprio as a real judge (up until now). This whole thing started because he's retiring for that and looking for an emeritus status where he's no longer a real judge but he can still come in and preside over cases to film.
