Fashion Police: Flint Cracks Down on Sagging
Posted by dundee on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Some people call it a fad. But for the city of Flint, Mich., that urban style known as ’sagging’ is now a criminal offense.
What are your thoughts? Im 100% behind the Flint police department.

Can you post the link again? It was pointing to the wrong place…
I recall this being an old story though. Is it possible that this was talked about some time ago, but now official? If so, I support it as well.

From Michigan to Illinois…
[b]It’s the law: No sagging pants in Chicago suburb[/b]
LYNWOOD, Ill. - Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three inches or more of their underwear in public

If there are going to be these sorts of laws, they should apply to women whose thongs are visible above their jeans as well as men’s boxers.
Incidentally, my Dad’s name is Flint and I misinterpreted the title of the article the first time I read it.
