But one Michigan man took Zoom mishaps to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Judge Dumbfounded When Man with Suspended License Attends Court While Driving\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xiB7u8-qRXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In May 2024, Corey Harris logged into his <a href=\"https:\/\/seniortechcafe.com\/ro\/how-to-use-zoom-its-like-the-brady-bunch-opening-but-with-your-actual-family\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2084\">Zoom<\/a> court hearing for driving on a suspended license. But where was he calling from? You guessed it\u2014his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best (worst?) part? He wasn\u2019t even legally allowed to drive in the first place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge could barely contain his shock, and after confirming Harris had never had a valid license, ordered him to jail\u2014talk about adding insult to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge\u2019s reaction was priceless (and probably deserved). With a straight face, he ordered Harris to turn himself in to jail after the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of those moments that perfectly captures how tech can work against you if you\u2019re not careful. We\u2019ve all come to rely on Zoom for convenience, but calling into court while actively doing the thing you\u2019re <em>not supposed to do<\/em>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not smart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tech Tip:<\/strong> Always ensure you\u2019re using tech in a responsible setting. If you\u2019re in a situation where your surroundings matter\u2014like, say, a court hearing\u2014double-check that you\u2019re not breaking any rules (or laws!) in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, keep your camera off when privacy is important, and only <a href=\"https:\/\/seniortechcafe.com\/ro\/split-view-on-ipad-the-magic-of-multitasking-without-the-headaches\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2252\">multitask<\/a> in situations where it\u2019s appropriate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And a general tip:<\/strong> It\u2019s always smart to check <a href=\"https:\/\/seniortechcafe.com\/ro\/wipe-your-location-from-photos-a-seniors-guide-to-digital-privacy\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1570\">your camera<\/a> and microphone settings before logging in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now sit back for a moment and have a laugh over poor Corey Harris&#8217; really awful Zoom meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video
