Man Joins Court Zoom While Driving on Suspended License, Stuns Judge
In Ann Arbor, Michigan, a district judge was taken aback when Corey Harris, a man with a suspended driver's license, joined a court Zoom call while driving his car. The incident occurred during a pre-trial hearing related to Harris's charge for driving with a suspended license. Harris claimed he was pulling into his doctor's office, but Judge Cedric Simpson noticed he was wearing a seatbelt and appeared to be driving.
Judge Simpson, expressing disbelief at Harris's actions, revoked his bond and ordered him to turn himself into the local county jail by 6 p.m. that evening. The unusual event, which was caught on the court's video feed, quickly went viral after being posted online. Harris was originally charged in October 2023, and the court hearing took place on May 15, 2023. The incident underscores the complexities introduced by modern technology in legal proceedings and the necessity of adhering to legal restrictions.
