It is the same in the Chicago suburbs. I've been in court (traffic, criminal and civil) as a PI and seen my share of disrespectful attire. I even have seen one guy wear a green t-shirt with the McDonald's "M" arch logo with "Marijuana" printed on it. Not to mention (not noted in the article too) that 80 percent needed Spanish speaking interpreters.

Maybe overalls and a wife-beater are their best duds.

Needed or wanted.

I've noticed far to many criminals who speak perfect english and then when they are busted turn around and demand a translator.

I don't know if its a stalling tactic or what it is, but it annoys the living hell out of me and its not fooling anybody.

One notable example was Sammy Sosa at the steriod hearings in congress, he speaks english and does his interviews in his english, but when speaking to congress, somehow forgot the entire language and wanted and needed a translator.
