You got some pants on, officer?” the judge asked.

Jackson replied, “No, sir,” before moving the camera up so his underwear was no longer visible. The hearing went on as planned.

 

Detroit police officials plan to remind officer of proper etiquette when appearing in court, whether in person or virtually.

The 36th District Court does enforce a dress code. According to a statement on its website, “Casual business attire is preferred.  Prohibited attire includes shorts (cut-offs), skorts, sleeveless shirts (tank tops), hats/caps (except those worn for cultural or religious purposes) and other clothing which is not suitable in a Court or any other professional environment.”
