Fashion Police: Flint Cracks Down on Sagging

The eighties had it's bad fashion, but this is just plain emulating criminals. There is no justification for saggin and walking around holding your pants up. It is just stupid.

I am a Criminal Justice major. If these kids knew where this came from trust me I think they would have a second thought about it. Sagging was orginally used in the prison system. It meant that you were available for male on male sex. I live just outside of Flint, I applaud the new chief ( who I don't like! ). This is one area in which I totally agree with him.
If you saw a man walking down the street in just his underwear, you would be yanking your kids inside the house and want him labeled as a sex offender. What is the difference? Underwear was made to be worn under your clothes hence the name underwear.

Good on the Chief!! Wish there were more like him

Why is everyone so offended by butt cracks? do ya'll feel like outlawing plumbers, too?

I dislike sagging because of the slovenly, lazy, dirty image it projects. Whether or not the individual sagger fits this image, first impressions are hard to erase. I also dislike seeing a 300 pound woman in stretch pants. disgusting, but not illegal. peer pressure, not legal pressure should be brought to bear of these people. How much of the police department budget is allocated to the housing, feeding, and public defending of these people? The taxpayers of Flint deserve more bang for there police department buck.

This is one of the most absurd things I have heard lately! Please if you're going to make sagging illegal, make it illegal for girls to wear those dang miniskirts without panties ...
This gives a new meaning to fashion police ...

It's about time!! Why should people be allowed to walk around in public with their underwear hanging out? It' s rude and offensive. They say it's a style??? Well, styles change, and it's time they wear some clothes that fit.

it is about time we of the silent majority took a stand

Bill Hopkins can ***-*/ ..... oh wait his wife already does; among other things. we won't even discuss what his daughter does.

Get a life baggy pants, thats it, real crimes happening all over and your going to take an understaffed police station and allocate their already limited time and resources on this. This police chief is an idiot.

I personally dislike sagging because of the slovenly, lazy and hygene neglected image it projects. whether or not that image fits the individual sagger, first impressions are hard to erase. i also dislike seeing a 300 pound woman in stretch pants. disgusting, but not illegal. peer pressure, not legal pressure should be brought to bear on inappropriate dress. How much of the police department budget is allocated for the housing, feeding and public defending of the offenders? The taxpayers of Flint deserve more bang for their police buck.

You would think that cops would like this style. Just think about how many dumbasses trip over their own fallen pants when they're runnin from the cops!

It's about time that someone became brave enough to say what's too much. The idea of seeing butt cracks in public places just shows how far our young people have fallen in their self esteme and how they don't care what they show to the general public. Hat's off to the man for doing something I think we all wish would have been done long ago.

Now let's see.... mmmmdowntown Flint

This unfortunate trend is homage to being in the prison system. I used to work at an acute care psychiatric hospital on the locked ward and on the detox unit. Patients were not allowed to have belts, ropes, etc... due to using them as weapons or for suicide (hanging). As such, a good portion of them spent their time slouching around with their pants "sagging". Anyone who thinks this is a cool trend or something to be emulated is an idiot. Last time I checked, there's nothing cool or hip about being a social deviant... Unless you're on a MTV reality show that is, and are ready to whore yourself out to the public for your 15 minutes.
