"How are we still seeing AI hallucinated cases? It's a tragic reflection of the justice system's tech incompetence! Underrated: Buddy, we're still seeing Zoom fails. Keep your pants on. In this specific case, we mean this literally. Five years on from COVID sending the entire profession into Zoom, giving us everything from " naked appearances" to sex hearings and turned " I'm not a cat" into a celebrity, the courts are still dealing with Zoom fails because professional dignity ends where the camera frame begins."
"Judge Sean B. Perkins, attempting to come to grips with the image on his screen and instantly regretting the lack of imagination in his "no shirt, no shoes, no justice" sign. Note how Judge Perkins makes the bold creative choice to break the fourth wall here - to make eye contact directly with the audience to offer an unspoken plea: tell me this is not happening."
Five years after the pandemic forced legal proceedings online, courts continue to experience embarrassing Zoom mistakes. A Detroit police officer appeared in a virtual hearing wearing his uniform shirt and badge but nothing else, creating a viral spectacle. The incident inspired theatrical descriptions framed as stages of grief, including denial from Judge Sean B. Perkins, who reacted with stunned eye contact and a resigned plea. The scene drew cinematic and pop-culture comparisons while underscoring the collision between professional dignity and the constraining realities of camera frames and technological incompetence in courtrooms.
