Suspended driver joins US court hearing while driving

 

A Michigan man has been sent to jail after he was caught driving while dialling into his court appearance about driving on a suspended licence. 

Footage from Washtenaw County Judge Cedric Simpson's YouTube page shows Corey Harris dialling into his online court hearing after allegedly being caught driving without a licence last year. 

Looking confused, Judge Simpson asked Harris if he was driving. 

"Actually, I'm pulling into my doctor's office," he told the court casually.

"So just give me a second, I am parking now."

Then, Mr Harris's lawyer asked for an adjournment of two-to-four weeks. 

"OK, so maybe I don't understand something," Judge Simpson replied. 

"This is a driving while suspended [case] and he was just driving, he didn't have a licence."

After a period of silence, Judge Simpson shrugged and put his hands up and said "I don't even know why he would do that."

"Defendants' bond is revoked in this matter and the defendant is to turn himself into the Washtenaw County Jail by 6pm today," he said. 

"Failure to turn himself in will result in a bench warrant with no bond."

Mr Harris was seen throwing his head back and whispering "Oh my God". 

His lawyer told him she would call him before the Zoom cut out.

Later news reports showed he didn't even have a valid license before hand

What?  a Republican? with an AR-15? and no Licence? Shooting people?

What is the world coming to?

 

Related: I saw the director of the secret service get "questioned" / abused by a bipartisan group of members of congress, the lack of civility from the Republicans is astounding.

It wouldn't surprise me if the outcome of this fracas, is a declination  by the secret service, to provide security for ex-presidents, who want their own Nuremberg rallies.

Here's your rule book Mr/Mrs Ex President:

1/. no atomic bombs/top secret stuff/cutlery or furniture smuggled into your private residence

2/. no secret service security at events you organise, of more than 40 people. These agents are not taxpayer funded goons.

3/. you are not a President any more, you may call yourself Mr/Mrs Ex President.

4/. if you have committed and are convicted of, crimes, you will be required to comply with any sentence, given for them.

etc...

Coss, I felt afraid of opening this thread because I suspected you were talking about myself. The bigger my joy it was somebody else.
