Judges Crack Down on Fashion Crimes

Tuesday, 17 August 2010 | by Pat's Picks

Judges are getting serious about policing fashion crimes says USA Today. A spate of new dress codes around the country have some wondering whether they’ve entered a courtroom or a Catholic school. In Delaware, skirts that fall four inches above the knee are prohibited. A traffic court in California has banned flip flops. And a Michigan man missed his hearing after he was sent home for wearing black jeans. Judges say the new rules are there to remind people that “courts are a place where serious business is conducted.”
