A judge in the US state of Michigan was surprised when a defendant appeared for his remote court hearing while behind the wheel. Corey Harris, who is charged with driving on a suspended licence, joined the call from a moving car. "I don't even know why he would do that," the judge said to the defendant's lawyer.

    It is fucked. I've heard other people's driving cases in local court when I've been, where the judge sort of tacitly acknowledges unlicensed driving but is oh so powerless if one gets pulled over (idk there probably is actually mandatory sentencing in PA for that stuff). This guy really fucked up though, it's almost Onion worthy.
