    The court prohibits the wearing of shorts, skorts, sleeveless shirts, hats/caps (excluding ones worn for religious or cultural reasons) and “other clothing not suitable in a Court or any other professional environment.”

    Well, he complied with that rule.

    Not wearing pants on camera is as old as TV itself. Always enjoyed this episode of Mayne Street highlighting this phenomenon and the problems when anchors no longer got to sit behind a desk. Also, rewatching this and realizing it has a couple people who would go into more noticeable roles on Parks and Recreation.

      There was a group at Burning Man that would shoot a pair of trousers out of their ”pants cannon” at shirt-cocking dudes as they walked past. Sounds like it would have come to blows if you’d been there.

    Upon seeing Jackson’s state of dress, Judge Sean Perkins asked, “You got some pants on, officer?”

    Jackson is seen replying, “No, sir,” before changing his camera’s framing so his lower body was no longer visible.

    The rest of the hearing went on as planned.

    At least he was polite about it

    Lawyers and judges saw a lot of dicks during covid when everyone had to learn how to video chat for court.

    Everything from the accused laying in bed, in pajamas, with a bowl of cereal and a blunt, to mirrors betraying whole-moon asses, to a guy being charged with improper storage of a firearm with shotgun leaning against the wall behind him.

    How is the off camera state of dress relevant? Why are they using cameras to begin with?
