Thumbs up I think this might be OK!

"The law would amend the "indecent conduct ordinance," prohibiting wearing pants or shorts falling more than three inches below a person's hips and exposing that portion of the person's undergarments, buttocks, pubic area and/or genitals, according to documents."

I saw a guy the other day with his belt almost down to his knees. He had to hold on to his belt with one hand when he walked.

And, it was a white dude.

The dude seemed to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal, if you catch my drift.

He definitely could not run, he could barely walk, more of a waddle.

Maybe it's my Libertarian streak showing but while I wear my pants firmly at the waist, I really could care less where or how others wear theirs unless flesh is showing.

Mandate appearance and dress and who know what others may want to mandate that I may care a little more about. Let society take care of it, ridicule, and seperation will work faster than laws from da man!

Actually the more I think about this issue the more I think there should be no ordinance taken on this. There are some things in life that act as a visual warning that the individual is a dumbass. This is one if them, facial tattoos as well, when I see someone with sagging pants I know very quickly they are a dumbass. Knowing someone is a dumbass alerts me to the fact they may do something stupid some time soon and may do something that may be harmful to me and people with me . So I tend to keep a closer eye on dumbasses in the wild and saggy pants are a neon warning sign. Couple that with the fact that sagging pants lead to stumbling and fumbling while police are chasing said dumbass for commuting a dumbass act and you have great potential for a benefit to society on the whole to allow dumasses to wear saggy pants!

I tend to agree. I hate laws, especially stupid to no point laws. Free the LEOs to police crime not pants. I LIKE dumb ass bill boards of identification, a free unmistakable alert.. Works for me.

I generally agree on Laws. But this one has been a long time coming.
Does anyone here actually know where the wearing pants like that came from?
I do, and I find is disgusting. It DOES help the Cops catch these idiots though!
Hard to run when your pants are around your ankles!
