A man charged with unlawful use of a weapon is attending his court hearing via zoom, but instead of allowing the hearing to play out, he speaks up a little too soon with some sensitive information.

The defendant, Mr. Romero, was allegedly stopped by the police and seized after they found a firearm on his person. But instead of trusting the system and protecting his double identity, Mr. Romero tells the entire court hearing that he is a federal informant. There is an audible gasp from the courtroom. "Sir, this is going live on YouTube. Don't make comments like that," the judge says.

Since the pandemic, many court rooms have shifted to virtual hearings, and live streamed proceedings for events that need to be open to the public. It's safe to say this guy better watch his back if he choses to return to the streets. Still, if all it took for him to blow his cover was a court hearing, perhaps he wasn't the best informant to begin with.
