Lawyer Gets Stuck In Cat Filter Mode During Zoom Trial: ‘I’m Not A Cat!’

Top 10 Everyday Objects That People Get Turned On By

A Texas lawyer’s technical snafu during a court hearing conducted on Zoom has led to a lot of catty comments.

That’s because a cat filter covered attorney Rod Ponton’s face during the proceedings, leading to an amusing exchange with Judge Roy B. Ferguson.

“Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in your video settings,” Ferguson perceptively noted.

 “Can you hear me, judge?” Ponton replied.

“I can hear you. I think it’s a filter,” the judge responded.

Ponton agreed and explained the situation: “I don’t know how to remove it. I’ve got my assistant here and she’s trying to remove it but, uh … I’m prepared to go forward with it.”

He then added, “I’m here live. I’m not a cat.”

Ponton later told Vice the mistake happened while using his secretary’s computer, which had the filter on.

“I took it off and replaced it with my face,” Ponton explained. “It was a case involving a man trying to exit the United States with contraband and contraband cash. All it was was a mistake. It was taken off and we had the hearing as normal.”

Normal is a relative term, considering a clip of the exchange is going viral on social media.

Ferguson even tweeted out the video and turned it into a teachable moment.

IMPORTANT ZOOM TIP: If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off. This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th (sound on). #lawtwitter #OhNo @zoom_ushttps://t.co/I0zaj0wu6K

These fun moments are a by-product of the legal profession’s dedication to ensuring that the justice system continues to function in these tough times. Everyone involved handled it with dignity, and the filtered lawyer showed incredible grace. True professionalism all around!

Although the filter foul-up may have temporarily embarrassed Ponton, the end result seems to have united America even on the first day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial.

This made me actually laugh out loud today. https://t.co/EHb55MJOJB

Well this just won Twitter today https://t.co/IMs7XObOHb

Best thing about this vid is the very visible warning that you might be jailed if you record the Zoom session, and whoever recorded this it went “fuck it, people need to see this” https://t.co/9M3wYmknJb

This is the best use of zoom I’ve ever seen https://t.co/Wo1vBZR2Ml

Give this cat, and this lawyer, a TV deal STAT. https://t.co/CIBXgU7zPU

— Mackay Taggart (@mackaytaggart) February 9, 2021

As a result, Ponton may have earned a new nickname.

Can we just agree now to call him the Advocat #advocat https://t.co/FeqyAq9t0I
