Fashion Police: Flint Cracks Down on Sagging

This only makes me question justice and the formation of laws that grants it. The police cheif's logic behind this intrigues me.

To take away somones right to dress the way they want should be the crime. How free is america if they are telling us what to do about everyting in our lives. I see it this way...I pay taxes, i'm the only one buying my chilrens cloths, and at te end of the day i swear i'm th parent to that child. So who is the government to tell my children how to dress. Yes if they want to provide the cloths for my children (which they wont) then i can see changing. Yes the youth should "pull it up" whe they are at certin areas like church or school. Other then that if thier actual butt is not hanging out then let them be. I agree with LouieE about the issuse with the times changing and the cloths changing with it. . 20 years from now when the "saggers" are older the youth then might do or wear something that they think is in appropate. Think back when you were young...what did you do or wear that others though was not acceptiable you still did it because it was your style. Only thing i can say is try and keep a open mind about everything and everone.

Hummm??? style will always change through history. what might have seen obscene in the 50's with how the youth dressed is the same as now. I have sagged when I was young but my style of how I present myself today is different, and I have grown to dress nice. I think that youth will be youth and fashion will always have its times. So to prosecute someone how they present them self is wrong, sure I don???t like seeing it myself but I don???t like seeing a guy wear tight jeans either but that???s their choice as an American. I would say that you can???t treat one city/town with that law it???s not fair for them every one should be treated equal, that???s saying one town will make a law that you can???t wear flip-flops. I think it???s a stupid law, it is a waste of time and breath. focus on real criminals and have the law enforcement study more time on other problems. Let the parents deicide how they let their children be! And how people dress (sagging or not sagging) is not going to change how they act, a punk will be a punk. And I wouldn???t be so stereotypical.

"... the jeans of popular designers like Tommy Hilfiger were made too narrow for the black male body, says Professor Boyd of USC."

Oh my god, what a load!

What? Ban sagging?..Its so cool to see saggers try to run from the law...One hand on the pants, the other trying to keep their crooked ball cap on..Its hilarious..Even more funny when they run right out of their shoes they cant seem to tie either...They are so cool showing the LAX runway skid marks on the ass end of the underwear. Or watching them walk like penguins, bow legged and stupid, pulling their pants up every five steps like a toddler holding up a wet diaper...It makes me feel good to see that I can dress myself and they cant...But I would kindly extend my belt to them if asked..Maybe even demonsrate how it works.

Now what? Now we have to be tolerant of slob dressing, too?

If a sagger came to me for a job he sure as hell would not get it with his ass hanging out. but now if a female came in for a job with her boobs hanging out is she a sagger I don't want to see some guys ass hanging it's not a thing of beauty ,but a womens boobs are what????

I dunno. I feel a little threatened when I stop at an intersection and am surrounded by men with their pants down, holding their privates, grunting and groaning. Of course, I'm a woman who doesn't worship our national obsession with pleasing the male sex drive, either...

This really is just another stupid fad which will die out sooner or later. Passing silly & puritanical laws like they did in Flint is unnecessary oppression of a segment of the public. Don't they have more serious issues to consider than the way some people dress?

Oh by the way where in the hell race got into this because white ,black pink and every kind of color do this sagging so I would say it's not racial it's about growing up and quit acting like a punk.

Punks wear there pants around thier a## If you want to advertise your a punk wear a sign I don't want to see your a## to know this. Go David Go

I agree with David and the others pull up your pants and grow up. That is what sagging represents that you want to be a gang member or a worthlees piece of crap.

You guys are stupid. It's a constitutional right to be able to freely express yourself. Although I would not choose this as a personal style, I find nothing offensive about underwear showing. Why don't we put our efforts into solving world hunger or curing cancer? What a waste of effort.

True story. An acquaintance of mine has an Uncle who was a prison guard. When his Uncle observed the "sagging" trend, he was shocked. Because not only do they take your belt in jail, but the the lower you wore your pants in the prison culture was also a way of denoting that the sagger took it up the ---.
I laughed, because so much emulating of the prison culture is supposed to be macho.

i love this law! i live in flint , i am white and my two oldest sons sag like no tomorrow , they want to be ghetto and have said so thats why they do it. get over it people it doesnt look respectible and will never get you anything good in life to look that way. tie your dam pants up with a shoe string if ya have too. mabey it will get the point across to my kids that me and their father have been trying to get across to them for a year now.
