In a surprising incident, a man appearing in court for having a suspended driving license joined the court session through an online meeting while driving his car. Judge J. Cedric Simpson was astonished when he saw Corey Harris, 44, attending the meeting while behind the wheel. The hearing was held in Michigan via a Zoom meeting. As Harris logged in, Judge Simpson asked: “Are you driving?”
“Wait. What are we doing?” Simpson shot back.
The defendant requested for an adjournment of the case, which was denied by the court. Simpson has revoked Harris’ bond in the matter and ordered him to turn himself into the Washington County Jail.
A video of the incident shows Simpson saying, “ No I’m looking at his record, he doesn’t have a license. He’s suspended and he’s just driving.”
“Funniest court video of the year”
Harris’s actions have left netizens laughing, with many sharing humorous reactions. “Did he drive himself to jail too? You can’t make this up,” commented one X user on Collin Rugg’s post.
Another wrote, “Funniest court video of the year. Unbelievable. Will surely be on ‘World’s Dumbest Criminals.'” One user said, “This is hilarious. He told the judge to hold on while he finished driving on a suspended license,” while another wrote, “You can’t fix stupid. That’s as bad as the lady who called the cops because the person she was selling drugs to ran off without paying her.”
One X user commented, “The poor public defender lol,” while another wrote, “It’s amazing how some people can navigate through life with this level of thinking.” Another user wrote, “Is this the same guy who claims to be studying criminal justice at Central Michigan University? I guess he wanted to learn the justice system from the inside.”
“Driving without a license and simultaneously participating in a court hearing Teams meeting. Who says men can’t multitask?” wrote another user.
