Some people call it a fad. But for the city of Flint, Mich., that urban style known as 'sagging' is now a criminal offense.

Hm, I have no problem with this, I don't really like looking at other people's underwear.
What's next, skip the pants altogether and run around in your skid-marked fruit-of-the-looms?? The line must be drawn somewhere.

Hey kids.. any of you baggy panted ones.. Guess what,,.?
I REALLY DO NOT want to know you THAT well.
could you please
hide it? UGH..
As a former sagger myself I can say its a stupid fashion trend. I picked it up when I was young because everyone around me was doing it. Than as I got into skating it just became part of the style. Big pants, below the hips, all that jazz. Where I agree with this law is that it has gone to excess. Call me racist if you will, but I dont ever see white kids sag below their a** cheeks. I only see blacks and hispanics, and even then not many hispanics, that seem to believe their pants being close to their waist is gonna make them less intimidating or something. I would never say this is all blacks, but the blacks I see when I drive through the bad areas of town, the blacks I see trying to be tough, and the ones I know are dealing they seem to want to basically reject pants. Even during my time in the military, some black soldiers did the same thing in uniform. They would have a shirt tucked in but you could tell the pants were at the middle of the a**. I am sorry but this trend needs to go. I wouldnt go as far as saying remove baggy and let everyone wear the tight girl pants that kids are doing now, but come on....noone wants to see your boxers, noone wants to know you wear purple Hanes boxer briefs. Slap on a belt and you wont get stereotyped. Especially for blacks, you want to be stereotyped less? You want people to not look at you like you got drugs, got a gun, or are all around a waste of life? Then start dressing with a little respect for yourself. As for the skaters....most of them have smartened up and wear normal pants with belts, otherwise they are eating asphalt a lot.
I personally think that sagging is one of the dumbest fashion statements one could make, and that is why I don't wear baggy clothes. However to make a law against it is going to far, yes I personally have seen some wearing them so low that they had trouble keeping their own junk inside. I would also like to state also that who ever says that this fashion came from prison is full of ****. I know because as an ex-con myself. When I was inside the CO's made shure that our clothes fit correctly, and the reason behind that was for safety for all. Also no real criminal would be a sagger because there is no way you can run from the police.

This style was brought about by black and hispanic gangs and should be outlawed all over....
so should racism... excuse me you dropped your white sheet,. but don't bend to pick it up because one of those blacks or hispanics that just got out of jail with sagging pants may be standing behind you...2007 grow up or hurry and die so that the rest of us don't pay for your racism.
Are you saying that black and hispanic saggers are gay?
Are we a little racist?
Responding to flonnlagh:
Since you feel it is appropriate to distinguish all urban people as African American I feel that it is necessary to educate you. "Urban" people are named so because of the distinct highly populated areas in cities in which they live. The modern construction of the term urban referring to black or African American popular culture is indeed a fallacy! Furthermore, urban populations: city dwellers include Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics; a wide variation of people. Please do not let YOUR "dreary and intellectually challenged life" manifest as IGNORANCE! Also, for your edification all African Americans are not "urban". Of those who are many of them wear well fitted clothing, and I might add my people look phenomenal! I hope you can now resume your more productive life.
On another note: I am not a supporter of the "saggy pants" trend, however I feel that our society is taking the law too far to label a personal decision as indecent exposure (regardless of how much of boxers is showing). Furthermore, I feel that this is a biased decision and has clear influence by men who make many decisions in this country. For example a woman can wear tight clothing, shirts with V-neck to her belly button, pants that reveal thongs (or no undergarment at all) and gets ogled maybe even rewarded. Is excess cleavage and stripper like clothing not indecent exposure as well....?
I guess that doesn't fall under the banned "urban" segment just yet.
I'm a 40yo hipster and keep up with most of the latest fashions but this is just stupid! I see these idiots walking around takin a step,tugin on their pants,takin a step,tugin on their pants what a pain in the ass and a long way to go for fashion.I laughed at the idiots in the eights wearing those stupid tight ass biker shorts and I laugh at these idiots now pulling their pants up every 2 seconds.Oh, and *** the ACLU I'm gay and socially liberal and they can still bit my ass!
If the only thing from which Urban, African Americans derive their happiness is showing the rest of the population their undergarments then their lives must indeed must lead a dull, dreary, and intellectually challenged life. In which case I say, whine until your heart is content. The rest of can get back to our more productive lives. This town probably grew tired of the urban population promoting a fashion style which glorifies prison atire.
So... This is from the same country that preaches to Islamic cultures that it's wrong to have women wear Burqas (Burkhas) But now, grown people can't wear pants without belts or show there boxers or thongs or what ever...
What's next... You better have your shirt tucked in???
Plumbers and cable guys... you better watch your back! Dick is watching you Butts!

how stupid why are they doing that why cant people wear what they want what next are they going to banned black people from that area too
they should be focused on other things who cares about sagging pants thats like telling someone what color and type of underwear to wear and why are they getting on that maybe because its a urban thing they dont want black people to be happy.they dont have anything better to do
Probably some liberal parents were offended because their children dress like this...So they assume we all should dress as THEY see fit...Liberal parents pay liberal lawyer which caused liberal law...Watch out you could be next!!
Just for what it's worth, regardless of whether or not sagging is a crime, I absolutely and firmly believe that jail time for these kids is going to do a thing to clean up the streets.
People think that if someone gets put in jail they learn to act right and respect American values. But, no. What people really learn in American jail is that violence is okay, because the guards will beat people with willful abandon - and often they learn tricks from the career criminals they're housed with that just send them down a deeper path of criminality. Six months to a year of jail time isn't necessarily "hard time", but in Flint, I bet it's far from easy. My guess is that kids who were just rebellious or part of the hip-hop subculture going *in* to jail are going to assimilate into jail life, with prison gangs and entrenched hate for mainstream society, and come out way more messed up than when they went in.
Someone explain to me how wearing your pants halfway down your butt is a fashion thing. I always thought they were too poor to buy a belt, might I suggest a piece of rope like Jethro wore. By the way, don't some men in prison wear their pants low in order to show that they are someone's girfriend. What does that say for all of these people that do that in the street.
I think people that were sagging pants basically look retarded, but that doesn't change the fact that there not breaking any laws. Police should have more important things to worry about than being fashion police.
I UNDERSTAND THAT PANTS SAGGIN GETS OUT OF HAND BUT YALL WORRIED ABOUT THE WRONG THING. ITS PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO POSE A THREAT AND THEY COME TO WORK EVERYDAY WEARING A SUIT AND TIE. YOU SEE IM FROM ATLANTA AND SAGGIN IS A COMMON TRAIT THAT EVERYBODY HAS BECAUSE HOW THINGS WERE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. TRUST ME MY MOM TRIED TO PUT ME IN SOME NICE CLOTHES BUT KIDS AT SCHOOL WOULD ACT SIMPLE AND MAKE YOU FEEL WORTHLESS. WEARING NICE CLOTHES IS GREAT DONT GET ME WRONG BUT WHEN SOMETHING SMALL LIKE THAT COULD HAVE A OUTCOME SUCH AS A HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING IS IN EFFECT YOU DONT WANT TO BE LOOKED AS THE OUTSIDER. IF YOU LOOKED DIFFERENT THEN YOU WERE POSED AS A THREAT. I STARTED TO DRESS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AS SOON AS I ENTERED HIGH SCHOOL. PEOPLE LIKE THAT NEED TO STOP CRITICIZING SO MUCH AND TAKE A WALK THROUGH A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS TO FEEL WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE THAT KID WHO IS DIFFERENT.
ok this is for equalzierjane.....who care what race you are...all races are doing it. Also if your sons think that "sagging" is "ghetto" they need to go back to school and do some reasearch on what "ghetto" really is. its not a person or how a persons dresses, its poverity.... a place were lower class people live not by choice but its the only way. It dosent mean they are bad people they just got stuck in hard times. You say ghetto like its used only for blacks, let me tell you something poverity happens to many races, and areas so if you wanna say ghetto as a black thing why not have your sons say they want to be "rednecks" they were thier pants pretty low as well! By the way i'm white hehe..............Grow up!!!!!! who care what race you are.
