Violation of Fourth Amendment Rights? And more

By normal clothes you mean a suit correct? I'm going to show up to court in a suit and conduct myself politely.

as long as you are clean and neat. they dont want to see feet, sholders, stomachs, or knees. no suit required.

polite is easy... yes sir and no sir.

Suit might be a little overkill. Collared shirt and dockers will get you noticed. Add a tie and the judge may die of shock. Try not to wear a "F- the Police" t-shirt.

You take all the fun out of watching open court. Watching some know-it-all pot head get chewed out for showing such disrespect is the best part.

It is also important go to in to court prepared and knowing what must be done. Being dressed and not knowing what you are in court for and how to conduct the business of the day can be worse than wearing an F-the-Po-po shirt.

I sat through a court session not long ago where two pro per defendants blathered for the first few moments and the judge shut each of them down. On the second one he groused to the assembled courtroom that "This is an example of what happens when you try to defend yourself," and then got so ticked when the defendant rambled on some more that he had to call a recess for 20 minutes to get a breather.

Both defendants were given a continuance in order to find legal counsel or come in actually prepared.

Some days you just want to bring popcorn!

I would have loved to see it. I think the judge was very forgiving. Likely didn't have to be.

This was a judge who retired about 2 months later. He was already a grumpy Gus and was usually interesting.

Am I likely to get an ACOD?
