Unidentified court speaker dismisses red-light ticket, waives parking penalties and orders boot released
An unidentified speaker in the transcript announced the dismissal of a red-light ticket and waived penalties on multiple parking fines for a woman addressed as Alondra, who said she recently had a newborn.

"We're gonna dismiss the red light ticket," the speaker said, also explaining the city's timing tolerance: "The city allows you 2 tenths of a second and you went through the light 4 tenths of a second." The speaker then described the parking fines as having "tripled to $60" and said the boot fee was "$100" and "mandatory."

After asking how much the woman could pay that day and being told she had $60, the speaker said, "I'm gonna release the boot. I'm not gonna take the $60 from you. You got a baby. Take care of the baby first, then worry about the parking tickets." The speaker added that releasing the boot without payment was an exception: "I almost never ever release a boot unless we get a $100. Almost never. In your case, I'm gonna release it with no money."

The exchange includes a personal disclosure that the woman had recently given birth and that her baby, named Grayson, is about two months old. The speaker repeatedly used informal language to reassure the woman and to explain the disposition.

No formal vote or other judicial actors are recorded in the transcript. The action described in the recording consists of the speaker dismissing one citation, waiving penalties on several parking tickets, and ordering the release of the vehicle boot without the usual mandatory payment.

The transcript does not identify the speaker by name or official title, and it does not record entry of a docket number, signed order, or the presence of other court staff. The record also does not contain an explicit reference to the Municipal Court of Providence in the spoken text; that venue name was provided separately as normalization guidance.
