Saggy trousers are illegal.
Yes, in the country where you have the right to carry firearms, and the future vice-president might be a creationist, it is against the law to wear saggy pants:
Quote:
In a below-the-belt ruling, a 17-year-old boy spent the night in a Florida jail last week, after he was arrested for the heinous crime of wearing low-slung trousers. The trunks waistband they revealed didn't say anything unspeakable like "I love Sarah Palin" or "Abstinence rocks!"; its mere visibility was enough to land the hapless teenage pant-displayer (who had a past history of dope use, though he was picked up without any) in a cold lonely cell without so much as a change of underwear.
As news wires reported (unfortunately often using the word "crackdown"), a first-time smalls-baring offender in Riviera Beach, southeast Florida, could have trousered an $150 fine or been levied with community service, after a law strictly prohibiting "saggy pants" was passed in March this year.
This is a new fashion amongst young black men. The new "law" is overtly racist, and will be easily challenged as such.
Apparently the "look" originates in prison, where belts are banned, and trousers hang down by the thighs. Stupid fashion, but inoffensive - unless you are a white middle-class American small-town dweller, apparently.

you are a mile away from them…
and you have their shoes.
There would be several arrests in this country if they made it a ruling over here. A lot of the young college kids walk around with low slung trousers.

I think they look simple with their arses hanging out, they might as well walk down the street in their knickers.
It's typical of fashion ...... always something that offends. Mini Skirts, Hot Pants, Nipple Clamps and rings, Ripped Jeans and now this.
