If you are accused of driving with a suspended license, you probably shouldn't show up to a virtual court hearing while driving.

      For real though, why was his license suspended in the first place? Like, I feel way differently about this story if the defendant is a repeat drunk driver vs someone who just didn’t pay to register their car or whatever.

        There’s also the non-zero chance he wasn’t informed his license was suspended. Not sure about Michigan laws on that though.

            Gotta love “silence is an admission of guilt” in a country where you have a right to remain silent.
