00:00Mr. Poynter, according to what I read, the defendant was a friend of yours.
00:04This guy tried to sue his friend after she crashed his car.
00:08But Judge Judy wasn't having it because he had a secret.
00:12And once she found out, the entire case flipped on its head.
00:16Judge Judy.
00:17Mr. Poynter, you let the defendant your friend use your car the night of the 8th of January, right?
00:23Mr. Poynter.
00:25Yes, Your Honor.
00:26She crashed it.
00:27I want her to pay for the damages.
00:30Judge Judy.
00:31But she says she paid you $75 that night to rent the car.
00:36Mr. Poynter.
00:37Yes.
00:39Judge Judy.
00:40So you were running a rental business with your car.
00:44Mr. Poynter.
00:45Well, just this one time.
00:48Judge Judy.
00:49Really?
00:50She says she's paid you before for rides.
00:53Defendant.
00:54I met him through a friend.
00:55He gave us cheap rides instead of taxis.
00:58That night, he offered me the car from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. for $100, but we agreed on $75.
01:07Judge Judy.
01:08So he pitched you the idea of renting his car for the night?
01:12Miss Peterson.
01:12Yes.
01:13He needed money to move down south.
01:16Judge Judy.
01:17And your insurance?
01:19Full coverage?
01:20Mr. Poynter.
01:22No.
01:23Just liability.
01:25Judge Judy.
01:26That's a violation.
01:28You financed the car.
01:29You must have full coverage.
01:31Judge Judy.
01:32What happened during the accident?
01:35Miss Peterson.
01:35I was a designated driver.
01:38The car in front of me slammed the brakes.
01:40I tapped their bumper.
01:42Minor damage.
01:43I drove it back to his house.
01:45Judge Judy.
01:47So, you admit fault.
01:49But it wasn't $5,000 worth of damage?
01:52Miss Peterson.
01:53Exactly.
01:55Judge Judy.com.
01:56But the bigger issue is this.
01:58He was illegally renting out his car, with no proper license or insurance.
02:04Judge Judy explaining.
02:06To sue someone, you must come to court with clean hands.
02:10You can't break two laws and then ask the court for help.
02:13In stirs Mr. Poynter.
02:15But she still caused the accident.
02:18Judge Judy.
02:19And still use RCOM in Enzist.
02:22Doesn't matter.
02:23You didn't have full insurance.
02:25You ran an illegal ride business.
02:26You broke your finance agreement.
02:29You were your own little Uber without Uber, without rules, and without coverage.
02:34Judge Judy.
02:35Now?
02:36By man?
02:38Case dismissed.
02:39You don't get a dime.
02:41Narrator.
02:42Judge Judy doesn't play.
02:44You can't run an illegal side hustle and then cry foul when it backfires.
02:49Lesson learned.
02:50Play by the rules or Judge Judy will school you.
02:53Alejandro.
02:53Hence, you can't cut them off as your iPhone.
02:55I can't do it.
02:56No.
02:56exhale it off.
02:57I can't do it.
02:57No March to kill.
02:58I can't do it.
02:58I can't do it.
02:59But she may not walk you.
03:00I can't do it.
03:00Go on.
03:00So it just comes to my wife.
03:01Do do anything to pass diapers as soon as I said.
03:03Secondly, we don't do business.
03:05Let's do it.
