Judge was shifting around because they know this 15 minute affair just became a 3 hour shit show 🤣

Everything here is "baby's first SovCit script" this is all basic scripting that I've seen hundreds of times in videos.

The reason the judge probably physically reacted is because they've seen it too, and are pre-emptively frustrated.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-103 So, they're claiming commercial rights as an individual. I'm not sure any judge would want to deal with someone who doesn't understand the difference between individual and commercial. All of these I've seen deal with fighting their ability to drive a vehicle or child-support, so if it's related to that the judge wasn't getting puckered. He was getting ready to beat you with a mallet.

If they have commercial rights that means they were engaged in commerce while traveling. Guess they need plates.

Was that written on one of the tablets they give you in jail that you have to pay a fortune for?

Shitty ones. If you want to pay for them.

Incidentally, a lot of prisons give prisoners free tablets now. But people in jail often haven't gone to trial yet, so I guess fuck them?

Its really shitty indeed, It's so shitty I don't think it can even run 720p videos locally without stuttering, let alone YouTube/Netflix,etc., but it's only 50 bucks. (125H of work with the inmate wage of 0.40$/H 🤯 )

I thought that since it's for inmates, they gonna try to rake up the price and sell it for like 300$ or more. Of course, they still can make big money on their back by making anything and everything a subscription. Want to watch a movie or play a game? It's 20$ an hour.

Edit : https://theappeal.org/prison-tablets-ipads-jpay-securus-gtl/

Both JPay and GTL charge prisoners at every step of the communication process: In New York, each email sent or received requires a “stamp,” which costs $0.25—twice that if the message exceeds 6,000 characters, or if it includes a picture or card. For four stamps, friends and family can also send 30-second “video-grams” to loved ones inside.

Music, movies, e-books, and games can also be downloaded on JPay tablets for exorbitant fees. Songs are listed for as much as $2.50 each, and a single album can cost up to $46, according to state records. Renting a movie costs between $2 and $25. Until November 2019, when the company backed down in the face of public pressure, JPay was selling incarcerated individuals in a handful of states e-books sourced from Project Gutenberg, a database of free books

Lol.

Those costs may seem ridiculous and petty, but also remember that prisoners do not have to be paid minimum wage. They often make only a few dollars an hour.

So that 20 dollar rental for the tablet may be an entire days work. Every email exchange a half hours work.

The people doing this belong in jail.

Oh, I know those costs aren't nothing. I live in a country with a minimum wage of 150$/month.
