Flint Michigan Makes Sagging Pants A Crime

sag

Dicks said saggy pants are a crime — a violation of the city’s disorderly conduct ordinance — and exposing the buttocks is indecent exposure. Both crimes are misdemeanors punishable by 93 days to a year in jail and fines of up to $500.

Meanwhile, other cities are covering their behinds as well. Village trustees in the Chicago suburb of Lynwood, Ill., passed an ordinance last week that says people caught exposing 3 inches or more of their underwear will be fined $25.

Full Story

I support this, I am tired of having to see cats wearing jeans near their knees  and think that’s a good look. Now getting jail time for it is OD, just fine the people, with the rate going up if they are a multiple offender. What are your thoughts?

    i see teens sagging, and as they grew up, their pants went up.

    so if you’re over 18/21 then yeah get fined.

    but if you’re underage you should get a warning first.

    its cuz kids buy xxl shirts, therefore they SAG their pants so it looks symmetrical.

    x-large shirts dont look right with pants to the waist, so kids need to learn to buy shirts that fit then the pants will start to fit.

You are going to send someone to jail make it even more crowded than it already is when it comes to the real criminals we’re going to let them go easy because our jails are full of people that like to sag there pants and sell dime bags wowwwww

    I dont agree with them trying to control what people wear, i think jail time is going a little too far. Isnt it only fair that women get a fine also for underwear being exposed? You see plenty of girls with thongs half way up there back and tits hanging out thats indecent exposure rite????

    Saggy pants now a crime? I don’t wear my pants like that but people should have the right to dress how the want when they’re out in public. This is America after all and not some muslim country.
