I dont know if I would do that either but I do think it is an interesting approach
You are showing your kid how their actions have embarrassed you as a parent. i think it only takes one time if the kid has some type of smarts about him.
It will automatically click for the kid: "If I get in trouble I am embarrassing my parents, in turn I end up embarrassing myself." Kid would want no parts of troublemaking but you are exposing him to all types of bullying...which is a whole nother story.

Same for my cousin, when he came over from Trinidad his pops wasn't trying to pay a barber to cut his hair. He got that bowl haircut all through Jr High. He got teased like crazy, but by 9th grade he started saving money and using that to go to the barber. The difference here is you and my cuz didn't have a choice lol this kid does, and according to the father he got back on track.
