its not exactly a bad idea. Guys are allowed to walk around without sirts on and showing off their asses and franckly its unhygenic and unapealing. I can't count the number of times i've been walking up the stairs in my school between classes stuck behind a pack of slow moving teenaged boys with their dirty underwear showing. Heck I've been walking up the stairs behind someone wearing underwear with a sh!t stain showing. Plus, it's been proven that people who wear their pants really low (to the extent that they have to alter their walk to keep them up) develope knee problems earlier in their life then people who don't because of the unnatural leg movements while walking required to keep their pants up. Now they are giving the police athority to make these guys pull up their pants and I'm glad its finally happening.
While I do hate sagging pants, the police do not need to act as fashion police because something unappealing. $500 fine and up to 60 days is just too much. This only obstructs freedom and gives police something to selectively enforce.
But its fun to make fun of these idiots... Some places the females are starting to do it. Here we get a lot of lesbian gangsterettes sagging their pants.
Goddammit florida.... Nothing more pressing to worry about Ocala? Really? There is nothing that was more urgent, than sagging pants? Really?
This is a way for the city to extort money out of people for choosing to wear clothing in a way that they personally don't agree with. How is this a good idea? What happens when it's your fashion they don't like? Aside from making you slightly uncomfortable how does it affect you? They must be running out of ways to garner revenue. This is one of the most petty things to criminalize I've ever seen. And I don't think this is the first city to do it. This isn't high school.
You mean they have to pass laws now to force people to respect themeselves and others? Shame parents dont teach their kids respect anymore. Also, FLORIDA.... Not sure if california or florida is americas butthole
Ocala is a shit hole of tightassed right wing bible thumpers...don't even get caught with a joint or an open container, they will extract as much money as possible from you...don't have money? Straight to jail....
I'm not saying this is highschool I'm just saying it's gross. And I highly dought anyone will actually get put in prison for 60 days or fined the whole 500 bucks for showing ass in public because then the police will have to get into a big fight trying to prove that his/her pants were actually 2 inches below their waistline and theres no simple way to do that.The most these guys are going to get is a)told to pull up their pants b ) fined a small amount of money (not the 500 max) or c) taken to the police station and later released with a slap on the wrist. and to answer your question about how this affects me; theres this saying that goes something like "your rights end where someone elses nose begins" meaning that you have the right to do as you wish as long as it is lawfull and doesn't interfer with my rights, I'm Canadian so I don't know if that different in the UK or USA. I'm not saying the system is perfect but it's a step in the right direction.
Nope I can't say thats a real law in Canada but I do believe what I previously stated. Thanks for making sure tho
It's a step in the wrong direction. Fining someone 1 penny for wearing their clothes in a manner that you do not like is in no way, shape, or form a step in the right direction. It doesn't matter the extent of which this will be prosecuted, what matters is that this behavior is now criminalized. I think the saying you're referring to goes, "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins". That's an inaccurate way to describe this situation. It does not interfere with your rights whatsoever. What if I said marijuana should stay illegal because I don't like how it smells?
No thats not what im saying because you don't have the right to smells you enjoy, you have the right to enjoy the smells you enjoy and voice your opinion on the smells you dislike. As I said before "your rights end where someone elses nose begins" meaning that you can enjoy your rights to the extent that they interfer with someone elses rights. For example, I have the right to stand outside an abortion clinic and protest but I don't have the right to stop people from entering the abortion clinic.
Illegal... that's going a little overboard. However, PULL UP YOUR FUCKING PANTS! â— F â—† T â—† W â—
The reason for the loose pants style may have it's roots in bad-fitting prison pants, which they think is cool. These boys are feminized, they have no male role models to tell them that a young man should not be showing his butt-crack in public.
