Judge Destroys Defendant’s AI DUI Argument in Court

Original video:    • REPEAT Drunk Driver Tries to Argue BAC Wit...  

In this courtroom breakdown, a Wisconsin defendant tries something increasingly common — and spectacularly misguided.

Benjamin Lamprecht appears before Judge Melissa Mogen for a plea and sentencing hearing on his third OWI offense. Instead of focusing on accountability, Lamprecht insists he isn’t legally intoxicated — based on an argument he pulled from an AI chatbot.

His claim?
That a blood alcohol concentration of 0.221 shouldn’t count, because it’s expressed in thousandths while Wisconsin law uses hundredths.

The problem is simple:
0.221 isn’t smaller than 0.08.
It’s nearly three times higher.

What follows is a tense exchange where the court repeatedly explains basic decimal math, statutory limits, and why “the chatbot said so” is not a legal defense. The judge also lays out what comes next if this pattern continues — including the reality that a fourth OWI in Wisconsin becomes a felony, not a traffic offense.

And the story doesn’t stop at sentencing.

Court records show that just weeks later, Lamprecht was charged again — twice — for driving while his license was revoked, leading to warrants, missed hearings, and a final resolution more than a year later.

This case is a clear example of what happens when confidence replaces competence, and when technology is used as a substitute for judgment rather than a tool.
