A Michigan man with a suspended driver's license joined a digital court hearing about his case from behind the wheel of a vehicle he was driving. Corey Harris did not physically appear in court for his hearing on May 15, instead, he dialed into the Zoom call — while he was driving, according to video of the hearing posted on Washtenaw County Judge Cedric Simpson’s YouTube page. Simpson asked Harris if he was driving when he joined the hearing.
'This is a driving while license suspended?' Pate confirmed he was looking at a driving without a license case. 'And he was just driving? And he doesn't have a license?' Simpson asked. 'Those are the charges, yes,' Pate said, but Simpson quickly replied, 'No, I'm looking at his record. He doesn't have a license. He's suspended and he's just driving.' Pate, again, confirmed the judge was correct.
