    Lol, I just mentioned this in another thread.

    Like, I know missing court is bad, and he was probably on his way there when he gave up to call in…

    But man, you’re trying to get out of jail for driving without a license. Driving to court is bad enough, don’t facetime the judge while driving.

      I had never been in court, but would assume that when you are called to appear into court, you are not given zoom link just in case. Right?

        Everything has changed since the pandemic. Some courts still allow remote appearances from my understanding

        Minor offenses can be quicker doing it this way. I wonder if it has an affect on the case result though?
