    At no point did the article dispute that the man knew his license was suspended and that he therefore knew he was driving on a suspended license. Hell, his case was about him having done this before.

    Don’t video call into your driving on a suspended license court case while driving on a suspended license.

      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

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

    Update from today. He never had a valid driver’s license. My wife just played me the whole session from today. Some interesting items:

    • His suspension wasn’t lifted, not because of a clerical error, but because he didn’t pay it.
    • The suspension was irrelevant anyway because he never had a driver’s license. With the suspension, if he had gone in and taken the test to get a license, it would have immediately been suspended and he couldn’t drive, but that’s moot because he didn’t have a license.
    • When the cops pulled him over, they asked if he had a license and he said no.
    • It turns out that he has a warrant out for his arrest for a driving violation in another county, so they took him to jail.

    All the crap he said about being innocent was just lies.
