How do you say "coercive and punitive detentions because they refused to comply with a subpoena ad testificandum", "street cred", "street clothes" and "refused to assist a police officer"?

Being an incoprorated Latin phrase subpoena ad testificandum doesn't need to be translated; just as it isn't translated in English (or other) legalese. Though if it were, it would be the considerably clearer: 'court summons' for testifying.

Stratovestoj = street clothes (obviously)
Rifuzis helpi policisto(n). = Refused to help a police officer.

'Street cred' is just nonsense not worth translating.

He was the first person to really bring street cred to white rap.
