FORGOT TO ADJUST THE CAMERA — Video of a Detroit police officer attending a virtual court hearing has gone viral after he showed up on camera without pants on.
The officer involved in the video is Officer Matthew Jackson from the Detroit Police Department. He appeared in the 36th District Court via Zoom on Oct. 27, 2025, regarding a reckless driving and public intoxication case.
“Can you put your appearance on the record, please?” Judge Sean Perkins asks the officer.
The camera then shows Jackson who is sitting down with his uniform shirt and badge on but no pants, just boxers.
After Jackson identifies himself the judge looks up at the screen and sees Jackson is missing half his uniform.
“You got some pants on officer?” the judge asks surprised.
The camera once again turns to Jackson
