Participant disputes 'no seat belt' ticket at Municipal Court of Providence; remarks about 'insulting a judge'
Summary
A participant identified as Speaker 1 disputed a 'no seat belt' traffic ticket in the Municipal Court of Providence, saying their belt was on and questioning why they were stopped. During the exchange the speaker also suggested charging someone with disorderly conduct for 'insulting a judge.'
A participant identified in the transcript as "Speaker 1" disputed a traffic citation marked "no seat belt" during a brief proceeding at the Municipal Court of Providence. "My seat belt was on when the cop ... I wonder why the cop pulled me over," Speaker 1 said, adding that the ticket itself shows the citation as "no seat belt."
Speaker 1 also asserted, "I always wear my seat belt. That's a must," and later told others in the room to stop laughing, apologizing specifically to a person named Joanna. When the laughter continued, the speaker said, "That's what I wanna charge you with disorderly conduct. Insulting a judge. Calling a judge, funny."
The transcript contains no recorded response from court staff or other participants, and it does not show any formal ruling or disposition of the citation. The excerpt appears to record the participant's dispute about why they were stopped and the wording on the ticket, and a separate remark about charging another person with disorderly conduct for what the speaker described as "insulting a judge."
No statutes, ordinance numbers, motions, or formal actions are recorded in the transcript excerpt provided. The record does not indicate whether the claim about the ticket will be litigated, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved.
