Allison Ornato.
Good morning, Allison.
You have two overnight parking tickets.
Yeah, so I live on Pembroke, and they just redid
Speak into the mic.
They just redid all of the streets around me,
so I have a picture to, sorry.
They have a picture, too, of all of my driveway,
because it's completely blocked off.
Let me see it, let me see it.
You have to speak into the mic.
Where the cones are, my entire driveway is blocked off,
so I parked on the street during Halloween weekend.
And my roommate got the same ticket.
Well, I see construction, and I see all these cones
and barrels and everything else.
I mean, you couldn't drive over those?
No, unfortunately not.
I think that might've hurt my car a little bit.
Oh, are you a student?
I am.
Where?
Johnson and Wales.
Uh-huh, what are you studying?
Biology.
Biology?
Yeah.
What are you gonna do with that?
I wanna be a teacher, and also work with animals.
Oh, that's great.
Good for you, what year are you in?
I'm a senior, and I just finished
my second to last trimester yesterday.
Oh, you're going back to Connecticut after you graduate?
No, I'm actually applying to the master's program here.
You're gonna stay in Rhode Island?
Mm-hmm.
Wow, good for you.
Thank you.
Well, I don't know, I don't know why
you couldn't drive over these barrels.
Yeah, me neither.
There's like a two-foot drop.
I'm not sure why you couldn't go down that two-foot drop.
All right, I'm gonna dismiss that ticket.
Okay.
All right, well, you have another one.
Yeah, so as I said, I finished yesterday,
and my friends and I were celebrating
at one of my friends' house on Grove Street,
and I got drunk and parked overnight,
because I couldn't move my car.
What were you celebrating?
Finishing my try-off with all As.
You were celebrating finishing exams?
Yeah.
I know, when I used to take exams, I never celebrated.
Why?
Because I never thought I did well, of course.
Oh.
Somehow or other, I got through.
I'm not sure how, but I never thought I did well,
and then I would do well, so.
Yeah, see, it works out.
But I remember euphoria when I got the results.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
And then I did a couple of things to celebrate,
which we won't discuss here.
Right, Inspector Quinn?
I celebrated just to avoid Mom and Dad,
because they were gonna get the results.
Well, this is a tough case, and I can't make a decision,
so I have to defer to,
I'm gonna set up a three-man court.
Okay, we have Administrator Butler,
we have Prosecutor Inspector Carrigan,
and Inspector Quinn.
All right, so the defense is, she received her remarks,
little celebration, not a loud party,
this was four o'clock in the morning,
she was parked on Grove Street.
And they gave her a ticket for parking overnight.
Okay, I'm gonna start, Administrator Butler.
I'm gonna defer to.
No, no, you're not deferring to anybody.
Well, Your Honor, I think the fact that she admitted
that she had a little too much to drink.
She didn't say that.
I did, I did.
Trying to help you.
Oh, but I'm 21, it's legal, and I wasn't.
All right, so she was drunk.
So what do you think about, you can relate to that?
I can, Your Honor.
You can relate, all right.
The fact that she didn't get behind the wheel.
So you made a friend already, see this?
Yeah, we're best friends now.
Inspector Carrigan?
Your Honor, $20 is a great choice.
It's better than driving in somebody, so I think it's fine.
So now he's the tiebreaker, right?
Inspector Carrigan wants the 20 bucks.
Oh, he does?
Yeah.
Oh.
$20, you get drunk, you're celebrating,
it's a great time.
I've just had internship, I don't have money to pay that,
that's why I'm here.
All right, the court administrator,
who's not a prosecutor, he says,
I know what it is to have a few drinks,
so I think we should let her go.
Now here we are, in the balance.
I'm not sure if Inspector Quinns understands
what it is to have a few, too many drinks.
I don't understand too many.
Inspector Quinn.
Judge, I don't understand the too many part.
There's no such thing as too many.
You're fooling me on that, on the too many part.
No, Your Honor, based on the testimony of the motorist,
anyone who could get an A in biology
definitely deserves a break.
Well, it's a two to one decision.
Yay!
So you win.
Thank you.
All right, don't go out and celebrate again now.
Oh, I know, never.
Go park the car, then celebrate.
All right, good luck to you.
