Judge rebukes woman who denied driving while video-calling from car: ‘Do you think I’m that stupid?’

Kimberly Carroll ‘truly sorry’ after calling in to court hearing via Zoom from behind the wheel of a moving vehicle

A woman who dialed into a court hearing in Detroit while in her car this week was berated by the judge, who asked “Do you think I’m that stupid?” when she appeared on video apparently driving the vehicle.

Fox2 Detroit reported that defendant Kimberly Carroll called late into a hearing relating to a financial matter, and was asked by the judge, Michael K McNally, to turn on her camera.

When she did, the Zoom call revealed Carroll sitting on the left side of the vehicle in the front, and therefore presumably driving, as the vehicle was clearly still moving.

“You cannot be driving, ma’am,” McNally said. “What are you doing?”
