If our nation's founding fathers had wanted us to wear saggy pants, they would've put it in the constitution.
[edit] It's good to know with all the other problems they're having lately, the local government in New Orleans still has time to waste taxpayer resources on frivolous, pedantic, and utterly trivial bullsh!t like this. Sign me up for their re-election campaign!
Sounds like utter bullsh!t to me! Talk about ripe with potential for abuse. It just seems like a thinly disguised excuse for cops to stop people pretty much whenever they want.

Personally, I don't like it when larger people wear things like speedos and thongs, but I would never take away their right to do so. And how about your local plumber... should he get fined as well? USA motto, if there's a freedom still left, oh don't worry, someone will try to figure out a way to take it away

Criminals run loose on the streets of New Orleans due to a lack of public defenders and a total inabillity to process offenders in a timely manner, but the real problem in the city is baggy f*cking pants? Give me a break. New Orleans has a mountain of problems, and pants are nowhere near the top.

just another attempt to make profiling and unwarranted harrassment easier. all that serving and protecting is tough. i hope they can catch a break one of these days.

By the time they get legislation written up and agreed, fashion will have moved on and the only folks wearing the saggy pants will be the ones who have no idea what they represent anyway. By then the real gangstas will be onto red carnations or mismatched shoes...

OK... here's my take on this:
They want to ban saggy pants that may expose a dude's undergarments or gosh forbid some butt crack.
So, if seeing anything except pants and pants only below the waist offends so many people, what do these people do when they go to the beach or a pool? Do they ask every female wearing a bikini to put pants over their bikini bottom? What about the guys wearing speedos? Do they ask them to cover up cause there's only one level of clothing between their ass and the outer world?
Shit like this just pisses me off. Before any critics on my point, I realize that the pool/beach environment is completely different than the city environment, but anyone who makes the argument of "I'm tired of seeing undergarments" must never open their eyes around the beaches....
Personally, I don't wear pants so saggy that I have to hold them up with my left hand as I strut down a sidewalk, but if someone wants to go through that hassle and therefore accepts any stereotypes that go along with that style of wardrobe, then props for them for having the balls to do so.
;D
