VIDEO: GIRL FLIPS THE BIRD, AT JUDGE!

It is clear to me that what that young girl did was disrespectful. What worries me is that a judge can just do that because he felt personally offended. 30 days in jail for flipping a bird. It's just wrong. No matter what she did. I's clear that she was nervous and did not know what to expect. She didn't know how to react. She knows is wrong what she is doing but she can't help it. She will become a true criminal because of that.

Soto couldn't resist laughing when Rodriguez-Chomat asked how much her jewellery was worth - something which the judge took offence to.

The judge then set bond at $5,000. When he said "bye-bye", Soto responded with an "adios".

Rodriguez-Chomat called her back, doubling her bond and punishing her for what he deemed to be disrespecting authority.

"Are you serious?" Soto replied.

"I am serious," said Rodriguez-Chomat. "Adios."

Angered by the further punishment, Soto directed a "f**k you" at the judge while flipping the bird.

Rodriguez-Chomat called her back once more, and when Soto didn't deny that she swore at the judge, he had no hesitation in handing her a 30-day jail sentence for contempt.

One of Soto's neighbours defended the 18-year-old, telling NBC Miami: "Some people, they don't like to say 'good morning' [or] 'good evening'.

"She does. Every day, 'good morning, how are you?' I have nothing bad to say about her."

That gentleman is what happened. Don't flip the bird, I guess. Specially not at a judge.
