Saggy Pants Law Passed in Riviera Beach, FL
Now it will be interesting to see how the Police will enforce it.

Run up and give the idiots a good wedgie... Wearing pants like that make you look so low class. Right homies?

Most of this kids don't know where this style started. SAGGIN*** read it backwards. This hanging the pants started in THE PRISON SYSTEM When a guy was available that night for ****** they sagged their prison bottoms as a signal. So when you see this so called fashion statement. That is where the hanging your butt out came from.

Wait, I'm sure they are REQUIRING them to wear saggy pants to keep up with the Riviera image, right? Gotta maintain that hood rep.
No, I'm just kidding. But I have mixed feelings about the law. As trashy as it's considered to be, it's an infringement on personal freedom...

Public ridicule will do much more to end this silly trend than passing some ordinance, which is only going to encourage them to do it more.
The best argument against it is that it makes peopke look effin' stupid.

Yeah, that "Saggin" thing, not racist at all, thanks.
But um, I see two sides to this, seeing that I see it everyday while going to school.
One: I think this "style" is pretty stupid, I mean everywhere you look, skaters wearing them low, gothics, and the 'gangsters'. I really don't see the point to why people wear them like that, it doesn't really make them look cool at all. No advantage points to it either, really..
Two: Freedom of expression. What ever happened to that, eh? "If we want to wear our pants down, let us do it." Why do we care so much to what they're wearing? And why they're wearing it that way? Are we really judging eachother that much, that we make a law stating they can't wear them that low anymore? I mean, can you say waste of a law? Jesus.

I think the baggy pants thing looks stupid, it seems REALLY uncomfortable and yes, I knew where it originated from. But what Im wondering is- if this was such an issue in that community, and so many adults were offended by it- just what in the world were they doing to change this situation before it became something that law enforcement should handle??
I think its a big fat waste of time/funds/energy to put into something like this. Some communities are already living in a 'police state' and it's almost as if they welcome it. How 'bout banding together and taking care of the issue on your own? I doubt seriously anything that the police will do will have any impact here.
