It
would
be
irresponsible
for
me
to
use
my
platform
to
tell
people
to
lie
to
judges
in
court.
But
if
you
are
going
to
lie
directly
to
a
judge,
could
you
at
least
not
be
caught
red
handed
on
Zoom
as
you’re
doing
it?
We’ve
covered
a
guy
attending
traffic
court
over
a
suspended
license
charge
while
he
was
driving
his
damned
car
—
this
new
story
isn’t
much
better.
Detroit
News
has
coverage:
Kimberly
Carroll
made
a
late
appearance
via
Zoom
in
33rd
District
Court
in
Woodhaven
on
Monday,
where
she
was
the
defendant
in
a
case
involving
allegedly
defaulting
on
consumer
debt.
LVNV
Funding
LLC,
a
debt
buyer
for
charged
off
consumer
debt,
brought
the
case,
claiming
damages
of
$1,788.08.The
case
started
without
her
and
the
judge
had
already
declared
that
she
had
defaulted,
giving
LVNV
attorney
Brian
L.
Groen
what
he
came
for:
a
judgment
for
the
debt
plus
filing
and
service
fees.
But
then
they
got
a
call.
The
rest
is
comedy:
The
journey
from
the
adamant
“I’m
not
driving,
I’m
a
passenger
in
a
car”
to
the
judge’s
“Which
side
of
the
car
are
you
on?”
and
“Show
us
the
driver,
then”
is
some
of
the
best
impromptu
oral
argument
I’ve
seen
in
a
while.
The
real
question
is
how
she
made
it
through
all
that
lying
without
being
held
in
contempt
of
court!
Children
have
been
handcuffed
for
far
less
after
all.
