A courtroom video hearing has gone viral after a man with a suspended license was caught attending his court session via a Zoom call while actively driving his car.
The unusual situation unfolded when Judge Cedric Simpson of Ann Arbor, Michigan, noticed the defendant, Corey Harris, appeared in his vehicle during the virtual court session.
The exchange between Judge Simpson and Harris quickly escalated:
Judge Simpson: “Mr. Harris, are you driving?”
Harris: “Actually, I’m pulling into my doctor’s office, actually. Just give me one second.”
Caught in the act, Harris’s admission led Judge Simpson to take immediate action. The judge revoked Harris’s bond and ordered him surrendering to the local jail. This decision underscored the seriousness of Harris’s disregard for court protocols, particularly given his suspended license status.
The video capturing this exchange has elicited widespread amusement and disbelief, becoming a talking point for its stark illustration of irresponsible behaviour during a legal proceeding.
