Just Say “No” to Drawers

“Anyone caught wearing sagging pants who exposes his or her underwear will be subject to a fine of up to $150 plus court costs, or face up to 15 days in jail,” so reports the Shreveport Times of a law set to take effect in Mansfield, Louisiana on September 15. Mansfield is in the state’s De Soto Parish; read about the penalties in the town of Delcambres and the Lafourche Parish: “Louisiana’s Saggy Pants Crackdown”.

    This post seriously made my spirits soar! I find exposed underwear/baggy pants in general are tacky and disrespectful to those who make an effort to look their best when going to school, work, and public places in general. Maybe this law should be in most if not all states.

    While I do agree with this, I think the $150 fee is a little steep. Some children or even their parents may not be able to afford this, and even still, $150 just for pants? At least it would remind me to wear a belt.
