Making a style statement will cost a pretty penny in one Alabama county. A bill passed unanimously in state House today to ban saggy pants in Montgomery County.

The fine for wearing pants below the waist could be up to $150 and this law could be coming to a city near you.

Reporter Sherea Harris will have more on what lawmakers and the average voter think about this new law tonight at 10.

wonder how long till they think they should ban cowboy hats, or boots, or blue jeans.

Kinda makes me wonder how much money these guys waste every year focusing on other peoples kids as opposed to the monumental debt, and ridiculous spending they approve every year...

 

Im torn on it, hate the pants but like my rights

 

I say the saggier the better.......Makes it harder for the idiots to run. Looks ridiculous, but to each their own They ought to be paying String Bean's estate a royalty. I don't want anyone outlawing my attire. I'm with Wyododge.

 

Forget the fine. Just enforce Rule Three.

Rule Three

I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off of your hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are idiots. If you show up at my home with your pants falling down I will be forced to ensure that they do not come off during the course of your date with my daughter by taking my electric staple gun and fastening the pants directly to your waist.

 

I´m with Jay, except my stapler is toast, gotta dust off my old nailgun, that´ll do the trick

I am definitely a civil libertarian - as in stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours, but this (above) did make me stop and think.
I was driving back to Calgary from Edmonton yesterday and I had to stop in Red Deer for fuel for the truck and fuel for me. I was standing in line at McDonald's and the woman (note I didn't say lady) in me made me do a double take and then I got angry. Her yoga pants were slung so low that she had a least 3 inches of butt cleavage showing. She was so short that there was prolly only another two inches to go. Then I looked up. On the back of her sweatshirt in bright green letters and sequins was F# YOU. Given the G rating of this site I abbreviated. On the sweatshirt it was spelled out in all it's glory. There are kids in McDonald's!!! In fact she had two kids with her that looked to be between 5 and 8 yrs old. I am sure kids hear this stuff in school way younger than I think but that doesn't mean that adults need to promote this. Come on, have a little class and respect that not all parents are comfortable with their kids saying or seeing that kind of stuff. Some parents still try to give their kids a full vocabulary and effective ways of expressing themselves.

 

This ruling will impact the appliance repair business as well.

 

Colo_River_Ram - a few yrs ago a husband and wife team I am friends with we're installing hardwood floors in their home. Hubby was crouched way down and apparently his work pants were sagging too much. His wife stood over him and decided that she could drop a screwdriver into that particular canyon. She got a bullseye on the first shot. Unfortunately the screwdriver was cold. It shocked the hubby and he jumped straight up. Apparently if you have a screwdriver in the back of your pants and you jump up in a hurry, certain boy parts can get stabbed and that can really hurt. Hubby was fine but wife nearly ended up at the doctor's office. She suffered from a lack of oxygen she laughed so hard and for so long.
They are still married but they don't install hardwood floors anymore.

 

STupid law. I hate the pants thing with a passion but to make a law about it, with a fine, is even dumber. We are paying the dumb butt politicans for stuff like this is rediculous.

 

Law will make it harder to spot a dumb a.. from a distance. Think they look like idiots, but to each there own. Would think their law enforcement would have better things to do than be the Fashion Police.

 

At no time have my Resistol, Luccheses nor Wranglers exposed any part of my anatomy that one may find offensive.



Now Jeff, I know your gonna make an ugly mug comment, so Ill beat you to it.


Blake's face looks like it was set on fire and someone tried to put it out with an icepick....

There you go.

 

YOUR Wranglers may not have revealed offensive parts of your anatomy but if you look at the holes in some jeans now a days, it's obvious that not everyone follows your example.

 

I can't stand the pants hanging off the butt look and I always get the finger cause I yell at them to pull their pants up cause they look stupid!

Having said that I am against this new law and in my opinion it is not needed as MOST locations have a law that covers indecent behavior. They just need to enforce the laws we already have in effect or leave them alone if it is not bad enough to violate current laws.

Kids these days do such stupid things.......why in my day we never did anything rebellious or stupid in any way shape or form well not that I will admit to

 

I had a pair that looked just like that once.

Im serious.....

Dad and I were stretching fence. Dang puller slipped on the barbed wire and well, you can imagine the rest.

Cost me 20 bucks to replace em. Had I known there were idiots out there who PAID money to make there jeans look like that, I could have made a fortune.
