A local judge in Woodhaven, Michigan, lost it this week when a defendant showed up to her court hearing late, on Zoom, and... while driving a car.
Kimberly Carroll was facing a hearing over a few thousand dollars that she allegedly owed and had defaulted on. She was allowed to attend remotely, but when the hearing began, she wasn't yet available on Zoom.
When she finally joined, Judge Michael McNally told her she needed to turn her camera on.
