00:01Mahmut Tuker.
00:03Mürnün, sir.
00:04You were charged with parking overnight.
00:09Yeah, first of all, I am sorry for my English.
00:13I am learning English.
00:18If I say something wrong, I am sorry for this.
00:21You can't say anything wrong here.
00:23Okay.
00:24Where are you from?
00:25Turkey.
00:26How long have you been here?
00:27Ten months here.
00:28You're doing pretty good.
00:29Thank you very much.
00:30Yeah.
00:31What do you do?
00:32Are you a student?
00:33I am a student in Brown University, and I am working in labs.
00:38And today, first time, I parked my car in three o'clock, and after one and a half hour, when
00:50I come near my car, I found a violation parking ticket, and there is no sign about no parking
00:58or no overnight parking.
00:59Okay.
01:00Have you ever been in a court in Turkey?
01:15No.
01:16First time.
01:17First time in court.
01:18First time in my life, and I am excited about it.
01:21Well, we hope we give you a favorable impression of the United States judicial system.
01:26Okay.
01:27All right.
01:28So, let me explain to you what the situation is.
01:31Okay.
01:32All right.
01:33Everything you said is accurate.
01:35Everything.
01:36You said it.
01:37There are no signs that say you cannot park overnight.
01:40All right.
01:41And plus, to complicate matters more, there's a sign saying you can park during certain hours.
01:48And you were not parked during those certain hours.
01:51So, in your mind, I can park here.
01:53No.
01:54Which makes sense to me.
01:55Except that the city has a set of ordinances.
02:05These are the city laws.
02:07And in here it says you cannot park overnight in Providence.
02:11So, before you came from Turkey, you were supposed to read this book.
02:16Read all of them?
02:17Okay.
02:18I have just two months here.
02:21So, it's a very confusing thing.
02:26People in Providence know they can't.
02:28But I don't think it's fair for us to charge you for parking overnight when, number one, you
02:33didn't know, and number two, the sign was very misleading.
02:35So, that's a short version of saying that you won your case.
02:39So, when you get back to Turkey, you can say, I was in the United States, and I received
02:44the summons to go to court, and I fought the system, and I won.
02:48Am I won now?
02:50You won.
02:51Oh, thank you very much.
02:53Thank you.
02:56Good luck to you.
02:57The matter is dismissed.
02:58You did a wonderful job.
03:00Thank you very much.
03:01Thank you again.
03:02Thank you.
03:03Good morning, sir.
03:04Good morning, Judge.
03:05Mr. Colella, you are charged with a school zone violation.
03:21Beg pardon?
03:22You are charged with a school zone violation.
03:26Right.
03:27Which means that you were exceeding the speed limit in a school zone.
03:32I don't drive that fast, Judge.
03:35I'm 96 years old, and I drive slowly, and I only drive when I have to.
03:40I was going to the blood work for my boy.
03:43He's handicapped.
03:45Oh.
03:46Taking your son to the doctor's office?
03:48Yeah.
03:49I take him for blood work.
03:51Mm-hmm.
03:52Every two weeks, because he's got cancer.
03:57You are a good man.
04:00You are a good man.
04:01Here you are in your 90s, and you're still taking care of your family.
04:05That's just a wonderful thing for you.
04:09Well, how old is your son?
04:1463.
04:15Yeah.
04:16And Daddy's still taking care of him, right?
04:21Yeah.
04:22I only drive when I have to.
04:24Yeah.
04:25You see that young man over there?
04:28That's my son.
04:30Now, he's looking at me, saying, you're dead.
04:35When you're in your 90s, you're going to be driving me around.
04:38You're setting a bad example for my kid.
04:42You're putting a lot of pressure on me.
04:47Listen, sir, I wish you all the best.
04:53I wish the best for your son, and I wish you good health, and your case is dismissed.
05:00Good luck to you, and God bless you.
