Bad publicity!

[McClef]

Many witnesses, when asked what someone was wearing, can be vague or general in their answers. How many bulletins have you seen that say something like "the suspect was wearing jeans and a T shirt" etc.

But when the suspect is wearing something more out of the usual such as a kilt they get much more definite.

I look forward to the day when they also have to name the tartan that they were wearing in order to narrow the field of suspects down.

I just got this visual in my head of some guy stating "It was a 30 year old male wearing a Dress MacKenzie tartan, Ancient MacKenzie hose flashes, size 9 gillies, an imitation rabbit fur spooran and he was missing a tassel, and he had a cap on but the badge was a MacPhee I believe"

A fully disreputable charachter to be sure.

My spouse is a cop and yesterday they got a look-out for an male between the ages of 15 and 50, probably african american but possibley a darkly tanned hispanic or asian, wearing jeans and a hoodie.

That pretty much eliminates only old white ladies from the line-up! Police descriptions can be a real hoot because they get soo vague sometimes.

I thought that was the point? "The man said a man wearing a kilt he did not know..." Emphasis added Clearly, the witness could not ID the tartan!

I used this one recently on another thread. (Actually, I think I stole it from here years ago.) Substitute police for Customs.
