KEEP YOUR PANTS UP: New Louisiana Law Bans Sagging Pants

If you like sagging your pants low enough to expose your boxers then Louisiana is not the state for you. Last week the council of a Louisianian Parish approved a new law that bans young people from wearing pants below the waist and in certain cases -- exposing too much skin.

For first-time offenders there's a $50 fine. If caught a second time, the fine jumps to $100. For a third and following offenses, there's 16 hours of community service on top of a $100 fine.

“Appearing in public view while exposing one's skin or undergarments below the waist is contrary to safety, health, peace and good order of the parish and the general welfare,” reads part of the ordinance. “There is nothing positive about people wearing saggy pants,” said Jerome Boykin, president of the Terrebonne NAACP. One resident said while the fashion trend is “foolish,” it shouldn't be made illegal.
