Guy Facing Driving Charges Does Zoom Court Appearance While Driving His Car

A guy in Michigan who had a virtual court appearance for driving with a suspended license last week… took the Zoom meeting while DRIVING a car.

In the March 8th Michigan court stream, the defendant was being sentenced after pleading to having no insurance and driving with a suspended license. Judge Middleton got straight to the point, mentioning the man’s long list of unpaid fines. However, he was least impressed with the driver appearing in court from a driver seat, from the stream:

“The one [charge] I’m struggling with is the driving suspended. I believe you drove wherever you are in the vehicle you’re in and you’re dumb enough to go on video with you sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle. [...] Makes me think you haven’t gotten the message.”

He wound up getting a weekend in jail. Maybe that’ll do the trick. Maybe. Image © 2020 Getty Images
