Answers:
That will only help the thugs disguise themselves,as they are baggies they do not run as surely because they are too concerned with holding up the pants.Looks stupid too which further ID's the riff-raff amongst us.Leave them be,it's easier to spot the morons.
yes
Dude, that's called an ordenance and not a law. Plenty of these are in play all over the country. Did you know Mass. has one where women are not allowed to mow the lawn topless?
every place has thought of doing this at one time. It never happens. It's just a good story for the newspaper.
It's impossible to inforce, and also would be overturned in the supreme court if someone ever fought it.
They could probably get it passed initially. However if it was taken in front of the Supreme Court there is no way that it could stand because it is unconstitutional.
C'mon man.I be werin what I want to.....Kno what I'm sayin
Atlanta has the right to pass the ordinance. However, the better question is whether or not it will stand up in court. I think when we start to legislate details we will ultimately fail. The better course of action would be to pass a generic indecency ordinance and then let the courts decide what that means. Heaven help the old lady who bends over to pick up a penny and splits her pants.
Well since they're not the 1st city to pass this type of law I don't think there will be any relevant legal challenges. A similar law was passed a few years ago in Louisiana near New Orleans because people got tired of seeing these idiots and hoodlums with their pants hanging down below their bottoms. I can only hope every major city in the USA passes some version of this law.
They vote it in,they have the right.
Answer: I may be wrong, but I have heard that the drooping pants thing goes back to yet another filthy criminal prison thing, where belts were removed/denied to bad violent individuals as to keep them from a weapon.
Soon! Every "punk in the yard" lost their belt, dropped their draws in an effort to look "bad".
Bottom line...Punks imitating punks! Criminal mindset at it's best!
Yes, unless the state constitution or federal constitution prohibits it, generally speaking.
I don't see a constitutional attack on this law as being successful.
But if enough people disagree with the law it will be repealed.
And here I was thinking that when undergarments are displayed, it was useful in identifying idiots to avoid.
Just the other day, I saw some Asian kid with his "whitey-tighty" jockey shorts in full display. It was hilarious. I burst out laughing so hard.
But I don't see an ordinance being effective or holding up in court.
Governments don't have the right to regulate your clothing, as long as there's no indecent exposure.
i think all the states should ban them . it is so disgusting to see boys walking around with their butts hanging out of their pants. and those pants they wear .are so sloppy.looking.not only are they disgusting to see.drugs and weapons can be hidden in them.and the girls should be wearing tops that fit them instead of wearing things that reveal their navals or breasts.this is usually why the kids are being raped today. they are showing off too much of their bodies.thats my opinion.
