    This might be a dumber move than the guy facing domestic violence charges calling in from the same house as the defendant.

    Yeah, that was a dumb move but it shows how unreasonable driving alternatives are. People have to drive in the US

    I’m sure every attorney has stories about clients where they’ve wondered, “how can you be this fucking stupid?”

    But at what level do you go, “you know what? I’m done practicing law. I didn’t go to law school and pass the bar so I could manage a fucking circus. I’m going to be a sheep farmer because sheep might be dumb but at least they don’t show up virtually to their hearing for driving on a suspended license WHILE DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE!” Angrily swipes everything off the desk

    On one hand, yes this was terribly stupid.

    One the other, I understand why people are forced to drive under desperate circumstances to get to work, doctors appointments, etc. because public transit in most places is so bad it’s worthless.
