Notice its not 99% of the school kids getting in trouble for sagging their pants, its the few rebellious ones that know the school rules, yet IGNORE them and do as they please. There are consequences for breaking rules, even if they are extreme and stupid as sending a kid to jail for saggin pants. I dont believe people should be locked up for weed vs getting treatment, but the law is the law and if it is not followed, you will end up in jail.
Yes but the punishment for saggy pants is a fine, not jail time.

Seriously Ruth, there are saggy pants laws/bans in many states, yeah even northern states, so obviously its still a thing in 2015 all over the country. Why you be hating on Tennessee.
what get me is all the people here that are for sagg pants but nobody will say why they like saggy pants, it has nothing to do with right, its all common sense and why even think that way. My generation has let america down.

I dont like saggy pants but I dont believe the government should have the right to jail people for wearing them, or fine them for that matter.

Who said they liked saggy pants? I don't think anyone has said that in this thread.
They just don't engage in binary thought, that "If I don't like it, there ought to be a law against it."
All this is just to criminalize being black in America. I think dressing like that is tacky and low class, but hardly something to throw people in jail for. I mean, where did the term plumbers crack come from? But because plumber are usually white middle class, no laws for them to pull their pants up. This country will leave no stone unturned to criminalize blacks with the hopes of taking away their voting rights among other things. Many times you can't even see these young men's butts, just their underwear.

Good analogy. It is no different than how fighting is accepted in the NHL and the players are considered normal. Yet, when players engage in a rare altercation in the NBA or NFL, the racists start screaming "thugs."
Interesting. They aren't showing any skin... but people are still offended.
What are their laws against cleavage?
I think I know what this odd law is really all about.
If you're going to make it fair and equal bringing in cleavage then we'd have to compare the two.
The pants were not even on the kids butt, they were belted onto his Thighs
This is equating to a woman basically not wearing a shirt, but wearing only a bra.
These are sex crimes. These are people breaking the law to appease their exhibitionism side.
It will probably escalate into truly sexually abusing someone if not addressed. The kid is still young so Jail is not necessarily the best way imho. Maybe wearing an ankle bracelet and community service will do the trick so this doesn't escalate into flashing, or rape.
As someone pointed out, putting a person in jail criminalizes them. When you could've maybe prevent this person from turning into a serious full blown criminal. And they just go about being a normal person in society, getting over this weird exhibitionist phase in the teen years

This makes no sense. No one is criminalizing a specific race with writing those laws, the law is the law.
And plumbers pants fall down partially due to their working, bending over in the line of duty. So we'd expect that kind of exposure, TEMPORARILY. As with any Construction workers who must bend over and be so physical as part of the job.
They don't just walk around exposing their butt crack all day long, walking around town if that is what you are implying.

I wear saggy pants. This isn't about that. It's about kids not even covering up their behind but strappng their pants to their THIGHS. There are no pants, essentially.
This thread title is A LIE. No one was arrested for baggy pants, gimmie a break
