3. Moronic.
This would never pass muster in any decent court. If your naughty bits are covered, you're not breaking any laws.

7. true true
but let me tell you a story. there is a man in my town who is a cross dresser. he mows his lawn in womens lingerie. that is not illegal, he always has his naughty bits covered with a thin thong.
nonetheless, its a small town. he has been shot at, he has been harassed by the city fathers who have used every trick in the book to make what he is doing 'illegal'
he doesnt do it anymore. hes tired of fighting the prejudice. I met the guy, hes really a nice man.

5. What if you're wearing your bathing suit under your pants?
Is that still indecent?

10. Flint MI police views : LINK
"This immoral self expression goes beyond free speech," said Dicks in a statement released Thursday. "It rises to the crime of indecent exposure/disorderly persons."

It's a style that irks many -- a few cities nationwide have banned the rear-revealing pants -- but the order also raises serious questions about how it would be enforced, if it disproportionately targets young black men and if ultra-low riders should be considered Constitutionally protected.

So, is Dicks going too far?

Greg Gibbs, an ACLU attorney in Flint, said how people wear their clothing is a form of expression but cautions that not all of those forms are protected by the Constitution.

His name is David DICKS

I know, I find amusement in small things.

14. So wearing shorts is fine, but showing them under your pants is not?
Edited on Wed May-06-09 09:20 AM by Sabriel
I don't get it.

Edited to add, don't the police in Flint have a few OTHER issues to concern themselves with?

16. Unconstiitutional
"Recently Palm Beach Circuit Judge Paul Moyle ruled a Riviera Beach city law banning sagging pants is unconstitutional in the case of a 17-year-old who was arrested and held overnight in jail for breaking the law."

17. I find it amusing to see it in a restraurant....
Then sit back and watch all other customers look at the person with the 'dressing themselves appropriately' problem. Most people who notice, look at the person like he is a complete idiot, in disgust, and they laugh at the moron. The funny thing is that the people who wear their clothes like this have only made fools out of THEMSELVES, but hey, that's how they want the world to see them.

22. Run, Forrest, Run!
Years ago I heard a cop say on the radio that he was fine with the low-hanging pants street gang fashion since it makes it so much harder for them to run. I guess Flint wants to give them a sporting chance ;)

24. the thing i can never understand...
how do they keep their pants from falling down to their ankles when they wear them like that...?

when my pants get to what is described in the op pics as "warning" level- if i take two steps- down they go...more than once i've had to shuffle into the kitchen with grocery bags in both hands, and my jeans around my ankles. :shrug:
