http://www.waka.com/home/top-stories/Holmes-Sagging-Pants-Bill-Passes-Alabama-House-59-0-139465303.html
Quote : | "State Rep. Alvin Holmes (D-Montgomery) is one step closer to getting his bill outlawing sagging pants in Montgomery County through the Legislature.
Holmes has said he finds it disrespectful when young people wear their pants sagging below their hips, often showing their underwear.
Called the "saggy pants" bill, the measure applies only to Montgomery County. It passed the House by a 59-0 vote Thursday.
People in Montgomery County could end up paying fines if their pants fall below their waists. The bill calls for a fine up to $100 for juveniles and up to $150 for adults cited for wearing "saggy pants."
Republican Sen. Dick Brewbaker and Quinton Ross, both of Montgomery, said they want to study the issue before committing to voting for it. The bill applies to pants worn in public places." |

Fast forward 2 years in future --
"NC Supreme Court overturns 2012 ruling outlawing saggy pants. State settles suit with black youth for $3.8 million in restitution." 2/17/2012 1:24:22 PM |

I really hate the power conservative law makers think they have or think they should have...
first goes saggy pants... then goes the red white and blue middle finger shirt. 2/17/2012 1:28:14 PM |

Rules about saggy pants should only be made by individual parents. 2/17/2012 1:29:23 PM |

I happen to find it insulting when pants are jacked up so high that your old-man-balls buldge through the crotch. Can I get a law? 2/17/2012 1:55:10 PM |

these laws are dumb. I wonder if they ever tried to pass laws against tight pants in the 60s and 70s.
having said that, I can't believe sagging pants is still a thing. 2/17/2012 2:04:58 PM |

While I disagree with this law and think it just gives cops another bullshit excuse to harass people, I don't mind giving a big middle finger to those who wear their pants low enough to show their crusty ass underwear. 2/17/2012 2:05:24 PM |
