Florida Judge Calls "Baggy Pants" Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!!

A Florida judge has lifted “saggy pants” legislation today, one week
after a teenager was forced to spend the night behind bars for exposing
his underwear in public.
According to the AFP, Palm Beach Circuit Judge Paul Moyle was shocked
to find out a 17 year-old boy was jailed because of his fashion sense.



“Somebody help me,” Moyle said prior to his decision. "We're not
talking about exposure of buttocks. No! We're talking about someone who
has on pants whose underwear are apparently visible to a police officer
who then makes an arrest and the basis is he's then held overnight, no
bond."



While some have argued the arrests have been justified by a showing of
close to 5,000 signatures for the bill last March, the underlying issue
of targeting urban communities has also risen prior to Moyle’s ruling
of the law as “unconstitutional.”



As previously reported by us, many US cities have begun placing fines
and penalties on individuals caught in public wearing saggy pants.



According to Newsweek, a law sprouted in Flint, Michigan as new police
chief David Dicks gave approval to begin arresting “saggers” in
addition to threatening them with jail time and fines. He has been
quoted calling the popular urban style “immoral self expression”
although the look has been around for decades.



As of today, Dicks has only issued warnings, but has promised anyone
wearing their pants below their underwear violates the city’s
disorderly conduct code and will be punished by 93 days to a year in
jail or a fine up to $500.



Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia are reportedly also considering making saggy pants illegal.
