To me, being forced to compel with an order you had no chance to hear justification for, and/or had not chance to defend yourself against, is not "judicial oversight". It's an order signed by a judge alright, that doesn't make it "rule of law"-compliant.

Unfortunately, there's very little serious studies of the corruption of the judicial system in the global north. There's massive scandals, but never wide anti-corruption schemes. You may be interested to read Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish, which is a very serious examination of why "Justice is an independent power" is a gross misrepresentation at best.
