Graham Knight Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Caught With His Pants DownFlorida man nabbed for violating city's new baggy trouser ordinance SEPTEMBER 3--Meet Kenneth Smith. The Florida man, 29, was arrested yesterday for wearing baggy pants. Smith was busted by Riviera Beach cops for violating a city ordinance governing low-slung trousers (or, legally speaking, "exposure of undergarment in public"). According to a Riviera Beach Police Department affidavit, cops were investigating a report of a man selling drugs from a parked Chevy Impala when they spotted Smith standing beside the vehicle. As Officer B. Jackson noted in the report, Smith's brown and white plaid shorts "were so low that it exposed his blue and white boxer shorts approximately two inches below his waist." Smith, who was also charged with disorderly conduct, could be fined up to $150 on the pants charge. In a bid to criminalize a fashion style popularized by urban youth and hip-hop fans, Riviera Beach voters approved the new ordinance earlier this year.While first offenders like Smith only face a monetary hit, if a baggy pants devotee gets nabbed more than once, he/she could face up to 30 days in jail.

Lemonade Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've heard of this law before, I think it's because they are concerned that folks are concealing guns in their baggy trousers. A lot of American schools banned baggy trousers after Columbine and the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
