I can’t find the article but there was a man who had some minor trial over his unkempt lawn or something of that nature. He either smiled or chuckled during court and the judge got pissed and gave him a harsher sentence. I think it was during zoom too.

Apologies: I may be remembering wrong. I think there were two different incidents: the one above, and there was one of a 70 year old cancer patient who wasn’t able to mow the lawn, and the judge scolded him and threatened to put him in jail if it was an option. He was Bangladeshi and the judge was white. The guy who chuckled was black IIRC and the judge was also white

Everyone's who's been in court when the judge throws a tantrum knows the lack of recourse you have for their vitriolic punishment very well
