Sagging Pants - Should It Be Against The Law?

sbl_admin · 08-14-2007, 07:27 AM

Shreveport City Council is expected to discuss an ordinance amendment concerning sagging pants when it meets today. The amendment being proposed by Councilman Calvin Lester would make it unlawful for any person to appear in public wearing pants below the waist that expose skin or undergarments.

I saw where Mansfield is working on said motion. First offense fine is $266.
I can see it now.....The ass police kicking into high gear......LOL
But hey, I'm all for keeping your pants on in public. When I see these saggers I have an almost irresistible urge to go yank their pants up

It's a funny thing when laws have to be passed to get people to act right instead of people just wanting to act right on their own. Are laws getting rediculous or are people getting rediculous?

I think they should exclude plumbers from this law..... Occupational Hazard..

I am with Jesse on this one. I too suffer from the urge to either roll my car window down and yell " Pull your darn pants up", or stop and pull their pants up for them and then go a step further by tying them on. I absolutely can't stand the whole sagging bit and seeing anybody's underwear. The only ones I want to see are Mr. Belles. Period.

I too think the fashion look of "sagging" is a dumb look. My concern is having our government try to legislate it. If the law holds up as constitutional; and I think someone will challenge it and win, then what is to stop our government from outlawing sandals... or cowboy boots... or two piece bathing suits, etc..
They have already put a big dent in smoking, and No, I don't care. I don't smoke. But what if they outlaw chewing gum?

What is the old saying? "You can't legislate morality."
