Fashion Police with Guns!

I was so appalled from reading the article below which discusses a teenager who was arrested for his pants hanging to low below his waist, I had to just share this information with you all. If this was the case in New York City, over half of teenagers would see central booking. This is straight B.S. And for those who disagree explain to me exactly why it is a crime to have your own fashion sense while other teenagers wear scantily clad attire, goth attire and skate board attire with pants so tight it causes low sperm counts etc. etc. Leave a comment after you read this if you feel me or even if you agree with what happened to this teenager below, because best believe this law may be coming to a neighborhood near you. Then I wont be able to wear my T-Shirts that you see to the right on sale for $15 Dollars (hit me up at 404.713.9446 for any design) with my fresh cut jeans that hang slightly, yes slightly off my waist.




Florida's Fashion Police Put Teen with Low-Riding Pants Behind Bars (Associated Press 9.17.08)
A judge has decided a law banning sagging pants in Riviera Beach, Florida, is unconstitutional after a teenager spent a night in jail on accusations he exposed too much of his underwear. Julius Hart, 17, was charged last week after an officer said he spotted the teenager riding his bicycle with 4 inches to 5 inches of blue-and-black boxer shorts revealed. Hart's public defender, Carol Bickerstaff, urged a judge Monday to strike down the sagging pants law, telling him: "Your honor, we now have the fashion police." Circuit Judge Paul Moyle ruled that the law was unconstitutional based on "the limited facts" of the case. Technically, however, the charge hasn't been dropped yet: a new arraignment awaits Hart on Oct. 5. Voters in Riviera Beach approved the law in March. A first offense for sagging pants carries a $150 fine or community service, and habitual offenders face the possibility of jail time. Proposals to ban saggy pants are gaining ground in several places around the U.S., and have met with opposition from civil liberties advocates who say they will lead to racial profiling against young African-Americans. The fashion is believed to have started in prisons, where inmates are not given belts with their baggy uniform pants to prevent hangings and beatings. By the late 1980s, the trend had made it to gangster rap videos, then went on to skateboarders in the suburbs and high school hallways.
