I see where Atlanta has passed a "no saggy pants" ban. Their school system is also administering this ban. Could we PLEASE have this passed in Mobile and Baldwin counties and our schools. I don't show my you-know-what in public and DO NOT want to see some you-know-what belonging to some hoodlum. Cover your you-know-what, pull your britches up, and get a job so you can buy a belt!!!!

Thank you! And it is not just hoodlums. I was recently in the car pool line of a middle school, and several boys walking home had their pants to their KNEES. I called the office and gave a description of the kids, and have not seen it again(yet). If they would buy them in the right size to begin with...

Maybe if enough people made enough noise to the appropriate beings - City officials, etc. - something around here would get done.

Not sure, but there may be a law on the books about "indecent exposure." Isn't that what all those people were yelling about, about "police brutality" from the kid at Mardi Gras that got arrested for baggy pants. It was on another forum-?Mobile Police Abusing Their Positions-and I think that was the gist of it.

If an arrest is made correctly and follows guidelines, the "sagger" has no grounds. Our society is so wrapped up in protecting those who do wrong, we have lost sight of those who are innocent and follow the laws. Travel back in time a couple of centuries...if we could simplify our judicial system, and get back to the laws that founded this country....we would be much better off. Can someone please print some of this in the paper? Send copies to law enforcement, etc......

While the saggy pants are silly looking (to me) and it irritates me when I see a kid wearing their pants like that, I realize that these are kids and they think it is "cool". I remember my mom, teachers, etc all were irritated with my generation in the 80s because we cut holes all in our jeans. I no longer cut holes all in my jeans. These kids will grow up too. Sagging pants shows less skin than cutting holes in our jeans. They just like to show off their boxers nowadays it seems. And, let's not forget the "daisy dukes" of the early 90s.
On a side note, I have 3 kids (one is a boy) and he does not sag his pants at all (we live in Gulf Shores and it is not very popular here I have noticed, but if it were popular here I am sure I would be getting on to him for sagging his pants).

One HUGE difference....it is not just the kids who are wearing their pants like this!!!! Look around. The ONLY positive thought out of "them" wearing their pants like they do...it will be harder to run from the police when being chased.

Get a job, buy a belt, and hike up your pants!!!!

I think every crook that wants to run from the law ought to wear them myself! Easier to catch them when they are trying to run, and holding their pants up so the can run, at the same time!

This is as bad as the sex toy ban! The government has no right to regulate what I do in the bedroom just as much as they have no right to determine what kind of pants I wear! I understand have indecency laws, no g-strings in public of course, but this law says you wear baggy pants not that you can't let your butt crack hang out.

I havn't read this law, maybe it is worded in such a way that it is simply putting a law against your booty hanging out, but I sure hope people are being careful in how they word this because it is coming very close to infringing on our rights.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. I personally think "saggy pants" show no style. They are sloppy looking and leaves a bad impression. Whenever you see someone dressed in "saggy pants" and having to grab their crotch to hold them up, it's disgusting. It is not attractive. You can tell real men who have class by the way they dress.
