> they should be required to use legal terms while you should be able to use colloquial terms in court sure. but the cops and their municipal attorney overseers are using 'legal english' or maybe "the king's english". if you have a dl/cdl then they presume you are an expert on the law since you signed the application and hold the state property thingie in your hands and are an expert. same with commercial things like checks or banking you are presumed to be an expert.
