This is up there with the cat filter video for funniest shit I've ever seen. This is some 30 Rock level comedy writing. Holy shit.
The prosecutor was ducking her head, giggling into her hand.
🤣🤣🤣
"I'm pulling up riiiiiight now. Onnnnnnne second. There, I'm parked. Now, why is my license suspended again?"
"I'm a bit nervous with this being my first court case, so I hope you don't mind that I'm a bit drunk"
For real though, why was his license suspended in the first place? Like, I feel way differently about this story if the defendant is a repeat drunk driver vs someone who just didn't pay to register their car or whatever.
There's also the non-zero chance he wasn't informed his license was suspended. Not sure about Michigan laws on that though.
He didn't say anything when he was caught, he knew it was suspended.
Gotta love "silence is an admission of guilt" in a country where you have a right to remain silent.
It doesn't matter why, it's suspended and he shouldn't have been driving regardless of "was it right or wrong". He dug himself deeper in the hole
Not just this be he is answering a zoom video call while driving…which makes me think his license is suspended for good reason lol
I'm really torn about this. He's in jail now for driving without a license. That in itself doesn't harm anyone. It could very well be that he just didn't have the money to renew his driver's license. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing deserving of jail time by itself. As for the driving, in a lot of places it's not possible to keep a job, or go to the doctors office, without a car.
That being said, since he doesn't have a license, his insurance, even if he had any, is void and therefore he is a liability. He clearly isn't going to stop driving when he isn't legally entitled to.
In a society where driving isn't often optional, I feel like the law is more callous than necessary. I don't have a solution though. Maybe drivers licenses could be free so that your license would only be suspended for cause?
The video is absolutely hilarious though. The comedic timing is as good as a sitcom. No marks.
You have given many reasons he might be driving without a license.
You haven't given any for the reason he might be doing it while on a zoom trial with a judge for doing so in the first place. Which is the real reason why he's in jail now.
Many states also have a no use of cell phone while driving law, which he is clearly breaking.
It's in Michigan and you can use a phone while driving afaik just can't hold it, but dash mount is okay
This is a test.
It’s still a distraction. Studies have shown that even having music on is a measurable risk to the driver. But society has accepted that one. Using a phone is much worse.
Interesting. I deleted my comment on the Sync app.
...but you can still see it?
Also, seriously? No fun allowed, I guess
I had typed mine up but was delayed on the post by poor internet, funny outcome
That's hilarious 😅
Your Honor, if I may Devil's Advocate for that other poster;
To be the victim of a callous system designed with apathy at best and cruelty at worst...
and to be a profound fool who never picks up any chance to put two neurons together to a task however many chances are given...
Is not mutually exclusive. 🤣. You might even be acquainted with a few folks miraculously barely navigating the concrete jungle already.
It's always a tragic story from some angle, but empathy doth need a break sometimes, that's why we developed humor to uncomfortably bridge the gap.
Don't Zoom and Drive people, court or not.
Don't do the thing you're being accused of while appearing before a judge is common sense though. It is so incredibly easy to not physically be in a car for this hearing.
I'd think it would be common sense not to be driving when you have a court appearance. I'd put on at least a collared shirt and a tie and take the call from a quiet place where there's nothing else going on.
On one hand you're not wrong. I've been driving with expired plates all year because I can't afford the work needed to pass emissions, and I already used my hardship extension last year. The alternative is losing my job, my ability to get a job, my ability to get to a grocery store in under an hour, etc...
On the other hand, though... I'm not sure what this guy was expecting. Like, the vast majority of the cops in my area do not give a flying fuck about expired plates, but I'm still gonna make a turn I didn't need to if it means avoiding passing a cop. This guy literally livestreamed himself committing the crime he was accused of directly to the judge.
Oh yeah, that was a real stupid moment in this guy's life. No defending that. And having that on video is just awesome! This guy will never live this down lol
Suspension of a license is usually because the state has deemed that the driver is not fit to drive for various reasons, either criminal or medical. Not paying the renewal fee usually just means the license lapses and the penalities are far less.
I feel kind of bad for this guy. He's dumb, but most of us are dumb sometimes, and now he's dumb on the internet which sucks.
Nah dude is a danger to society. Not only did he drive without license but did so while calling on the phone.
I do feel bad for him since there's not a lot of transportation freedom in america if you can't drive a car. Obv he shouldn't ever drive a car again tho
I don't. His dumbass would eventually get someone else dead. My dumbass just perpetually gets ratios wrong in factorio and has a tendency to hyperfixate - my smart-ass realized my ADHD is likely to get myself killed driving, so I have never gotten myself a driver's license.
Are you my mathematician friend?
This is unlikely though being bad at rudimentary math is a dead ringer for a mathematician.
He's the only person I've met that won't drive for his ADHD, I guess there are two!
I highly recommend anyone with ADHD drive standard if they're ever in a position where they have to learn how to drive. It forces you to focus on driving and keeps your hands busy. I used to be the same way, but I had to start driving or become homeless so I've been driving standard ever since.
I uh, would clarify that I by no means consider ADHD a disqualifier from a license, I simply don't personally have confidence in my ability.
I used to feel the exact same way. I avoided driving until I was in my late 20's but it's a lot easier than you think. Drive sober and pay attention to everyone around you and you get used to it really quickly.
Oh right, and also in jail.
Genius Level: -100.
This is why we need more public transport everywhere in the world. Get idiots off the street, but enable them to go to the doctor, school, work, and everything else, so we have less idiots in the future.
