    Are you defending the botched legal process and suggesting that it deserves more respect than the man who is in fact in the right? That we should continue to obey even when it’s wrong?

    The man also knew that his license was not in fact suspended in any legitimate way. If I was the victim of failed bureaucracy for months I would ignore it too.

      Ignore it sure, but maybe not as you zoom into a court appearance

      It is the easiest thing in the world to not actively be driving while video calling in to a court hearing, regardless of what the hearing is for. He could even physically be in the car sitting in the passenger seat with it parked and be fine, but why take the risk? Especially when the consequence is jail.

      He was videocalling while driving. It’s a shit and dangerous behaviour on its own.

        Might help if you try to understand where people are coming from. This guy was stupid for video calling while driving, period. That said, if my license was supposed to be reinstated two years prior, I think I’d be driving too (while being very careful about avoiding any complications with law enforcement). Comparing that to sovcit stuff isn’t reasonable.
