Government shouldn't tell you how to dress. A slippery slope. Sounds like something a big government liberal would be for. Certainly not a small government conservative.
right, so we don't draw a line somewhere. next thing, we'll all be walking naked.
It's a very slippery slope; according to "legend" (??) the "condition" originated in the custodial system, where prisoners weren't allowed to retain their belts because they might be used to hang themselves; and a number of prisons (so I am told) use trousers with elastic waists and house-slipper type shoes.
But there is very little doubt in my mind that a portion of the "urban rebel" mindset, resentful in no small part to the situations in which previous bad decisions on their part have confined them, view their sagging wardrobe as telling Gramps, Gran, and the rest of the local Establishment exactly what they can kiss.
It's a petty issue in an extremely petty and polarized culture.

while i don't agree with the idea of the government telling me what to wear, exactly how are we stopping this style? by giving a verbal warning; then a written warning; then putting my name on some list & then a $600 fine? why not START with the $600 fine? nip it in the bud at the beginning.
& how many cops are actually going to be stopping people on the street for this offensive?
A little punk walked up to me just the other day and asked for a cigarette. I said. "I don't give smokes to kids and second I don't talk to people who don't know how to dress" and walked away.
If you want to dress like an idiot it's your call. Just another stupid law.
I like it.
this is the first step forward since that town in Alabama(I think) made it illegal to use a restroom that doesn't match the gender on your birth certificate.
it bad when government have to pass a law and fine you for being stupid, you think stupid could learn it on their own, or at least their mama would remind them
