Fashion Police: Flint Cracks Down on Sagging

I live in what they call the dirty south,,,And did they ever hit the nail on the head with that one!! Seems like everywhere you go you see some dumbasses' wanting to look as rediculous as possible with sagging..What they dont know is' that the fad started in prisons by the homosexuals!, thats how other inmates could identify who was for booty sale, ha ha ! So if ya think its cool to look like a jailhouse punk/queer be my guest..Send out that outward projection of you being a *** gangbanger. What a great acompishment of lifes work you've created for yourself!! I SAY HIP-HOP HURRAY FOR ALL THE COPS FOR STOPPING THE WORST FASHION STATEMENT EVER!!! I mean for real already it really sucks to be in the BANK- or walmart or a fast food joint and stand behind someone that has their ass haging out.....it says alot about your personal ethics'' Not to mention it does great for an appetite supressent!! all you saggers suck...GOOD WORK COPS!!!!!

I understand fads and all,but running around showing everybody you'r a__ and you underwear is pushing things to far.It's certainly not classy.Usualy it's just those that are trying to emulate "gang"fashions or wanna be hip-hoppers.Must be a lot out there that crave attention to themselves

I hope the police chief has the intestinal fortitiude to continue upholding the law. Most people don't want to be offended by seeing others hind parts nor their undergarments everytime you enter or leave a business establishment. It is down right disrespectful to the elderly and others in society who have any form of decency. Give the police chief a raise and tell the ACLU to find another cause.

yay! I am thankful that I won't be faced with a butt crack or a pair of underwear whenever I go into that town. I am thankful that someone stood up for those rights! Now if only we can make slutty clingy clothes illegal. I hate being accosted with breasts wide open for all to see.

No matter what is said by whom, making it sound alright for our children to wear clothing that way is wrong. Groups of individuals have been attempting to find a way to eliminate this form of dress for years. Those individuals that speak uncaring about it are not mentoring nor representing these younger individuals. What type of life, job will they have? You tell us. I commend anyone that is trying to instill "the right form of dress" respect for the future in the younger individuals.

This is hilarious. They are accusing the Police Chief of taking the law into his own hands!! He IS the Police Chief. That is his job, duh. So, they are accusing him of doing his job and implying that doing one's job is a bad thing somehow. I agree, let them go show their ass off in prison and be someone's prison bitch. They'll either like it and keep on doing it, or not and stop. Maybe those in public would stop, unless they were queer and liked that stuff.

I hate sagging! The other day, a man at a convenience store had his pants below his underwear and my 10 year old daughter saw it. She looked at me and turned red. That's when I decided it's basically indecent exposure. I don't want my kids seeing some moronic stranger's underwear! Gross. If some pervert walked by and pulled his pants down and showed his underwear in the middle of a store, he'd get arrested. People shouldn't be able to do it just because they think it looks good. That's retarded.

Sagging (with the top of boxers showing) is more of a commentary on the wearer than an offense to the person viewing it. It may also be offensive to see a woman in pants that are too tight or a blouse that is sheer or low-cut, but there are not any laws regarding those 'fashions'. I grew up in a community near Flint and believe me, there are much bigger problems in that city for law enforcemet to deal with than tasteless
trends in fashion.

Hoooray for the Flint, MI Police Dept. and their Chief for outlawing this ridiculous and disrespectful fashion "fad". As a mature Black man, it pains me to see our youth running around the streets with their pants falling off their @sses. They actually think they look cool, but in reality, they look like uneducated idiots and thugs. And yes, it will give way to Police agencies to stop and frisk them for probable cause. Most likely they will catch the offenders dirty. I say lock 'em up if they're caught and I wait for the day for New York City to adopt similar if not harsher penalties for the offenders because they are definitely out of control here. All across America minority youth is an increasingly out of control problem and a lot of it has to do with that cRAP ' music' they love to listen to and their wish to live a cRAPPERS lifestyle.

I grew up in a communist society where men who listened to Beatles, wore charleston-type pants and long hair were arrested by the police and then thrown in prisons and concentration campts. So "wonderful" to find out that some parts of the so called democratic world haven't progressed any further than that!

I find looking at strange mens underwear offensive. I don't like having to advert my eyes when going to the grocery store and lets face it we want this to be a law because there are a lot of hoodlems that should be search and this give cause to. More POWER to Flint!

What a waste of time .Maybe we should start searching and arresting school girls that wear their skirts too short. That offensive. Maybe they're prostitutes. Or maybe some of those Gothic kids with the black nail polish and the dark eyliner. They scare me. Search them for a gun. How about those cross-dressers?Thats not normal. I dont want my kids to get confused. Doesnt that just sound ignorant? They shouldnt target just one group of people. Maybe the Flint police department can lead the way to a national uniform so that no one has to get harrased by the police because of what they have on.

As criminals at all levels, from running red lights to violence, continues to rise we and our children lose. Societies will respond by increase more restrictive laws and diminsihing our freedoms by installing cameras and enacting more restrictive laws. So, if social deviance continues to increase, our rights will correspndingly decrease. Over time, our constitution will be completely rewritten and we will live in an Orwellian society.

I used to live in that area and have since relocated to the South. I find the style quite disgusting personally, however it should not be illegal. The police in that area, as well as Saginaw, etc. have abused the rights of young black males historically. Illegal search and seizure is routine for African American males, this is just another way to afford police the opportunity to violate the rights of these individuals. Women have dressed indecently for quite sometime, why haven't they been imposed upon. I'm not against the measure, however it should have been voted upon by the community, and not enacted by a sheriff trying to win support.

It's funny to me how many people think that by "sagging" one is showing off his butt, that is NOT the case. Showing priviate parts in public is a crime...this is a fashion statement rather you like it or not. Now just so we are clear, I personally do not sag...however I don't have a problem with the way someone else decides to dress, there are bigger issues at hand than to worry about the way one decides to dress. For that matter, I think the Goth look is more crazy...black fingernail polish, big holes in the earlobes, and spiked hair...that scares me more than someone simply wearing their pants below the waistline.....let's face it America....anything that has to do with urban culture "you" have a problem with. I really hate to play the race card but I find it to be very true. Let's move on to "real" crimes and public services Chief and leave your "personal" beliefs at home where they belong!
