An officer appearing for a court hearing via Zoom surprised a Michigan judge when he turned his camera on and appeared without pants.

In the hearing, which was recorded, Judge Sean Perkins is heard asking Officer Matthew Jackson from the Detroit Police Department to "put your appearance on the record."

Jackson then turns his camera on and provides his information to the judge. In the video, he is wearing his uniform top, but appears to be in shorts or boxers.

"You got some pants on, officer?" Perkins asks.

Jackson then appears on screen again but with his camera no longer showing his bottom half.

"No sir," he replies.

Perkins then continues with the hearing without addressing the matter further.
