“But again, Alfred John Brown, charged with murder...just moments ago being magistrated and sitting behind me here in the Bexar County jail.” --Kristina De Leon, WOAI Today, July 6, 2006
Thank you for coining a new verb Kristina. I'll notify Merriam Webster immediately!

Buttering up...yes...I think so!
It comes from cops that say magistrate as a verb...that bad use has been around a long time.
Cops tend to come up with nonsense words - like 'burglarize'.
The difference is that burglarize is in the Merriam Webster dictionary and Magistrate, the verb, is not.
