What started as a simple parking ticket spiraled completely out of control in court — all because the defendant just couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Footage shows the man constantly interrupting the judge, raising his voice, and refusing to follow courtroom rules. After multiple warnings, the judge finally snapped — ordering deputies to put tape over his mouth so the hearing could continue.

What should have been a minor fine quickly escalated, with the judge stacking on contempt charges that could lead to a much harsher sentence.

The jaw-dropping moment has gone viral, with viewers divided: some say the man got what he deserved for his attitude, while others argue the punishment went too far.

What do you think — did the judge cross the line, or was the tape the only way to keep order?
