Baggy jeans get family arrested
Filed under: Fashion, News, Stylish Living
A few months ago towns around the country started turning the real police into fashion police, and arresting kids who let their pants sag halfway down their butts. I can only imagine if Marky Mark was still performing as a musician -- it'd be hysterical to watch him get arrested for dropping his pants in front of thousands of screaming junior high girls.But anyway, believe it or not, people really are getting arrested because of their pants -- like Frances Leger, a 20-year-old business student at Florida State University who'd been banned from a local mall for letting his underwear hang out. When Leger decided to ignore the ban, deputies came to arrest him. When he and his family resisted, all hell broke loose.
We're talking 20 deputies, two canine units, and a police helicopter surrounding the mall -- just to make sure this fashion disaster was dealt with.
Wow. Remind me to dress really nice the next time I go to Florida. I don't want the SWAT team hauling me off to prison for bad taste.
And speaking of dressing nice, if you need to ditch those baggy trouser before they get you picked up by the police, check out the hot new looks for the year ahead:

Maybe we don't even want your kind in Florida. Showing your boxers shows you have no class. No classers can skip Florida-----We don't want nor need you.

The pants dropped half mASSED started in prison showing that one (male) prisoner was available to another. How did it get out?

When I was in H.S. I used to run up to these guys and yank the pants down to further embarrass them! So, I vote that we make that custom to assume that a person whom wears their pants "saggin" like that, in all actuality is making the statement "Please yank me!" Lets oblige them! I know I will!

I think it's hott when guys wear their pants like that. I don't see why so many people have a problem with it.

Did you really say 'hott'? I have to see this 'style' every day at school, and I for one think it is just plain DISGUSTING!!!!!!! Why do guys think girls like that? I perfer guys who wear well fitting clothes and try to impress girls with their gentelmenliness. I don't care if you would call me 'old fashioned', but it is just my opinion.....

Because people are tired of seeing these people's backsides. If they want to dress like inmates, lets just put them there.

arrest them for exposing themselves. Maybe they'll learn to keep their pants on.

I completely agree, we have a huge problem in Michigan with this too and I'm not even talking about Detroit but allll the way across the state. I could literally sit in the mall and watch for an hour and probably see at least 15 guys having to hobble along like little penguins because their damn pants are in the way! If I wanted to see boxers I'd go into the men's underwear department and look at them on display for gods sake!!!!
I have actually contemplated taking my camera along and taking pictures of every single one and posting them online. I'll let you know how that turns out...

I think it's really sad that florida police have nothing better to do than harrass people about their clothing. Don't they have better things to do like arrest all the people using there shores to import and export drugs. Whatever we all know floridians are pretty slow!!!

Perhaps Floridians are slow but most of us have enough sense to keep our pants on and many of us actually know the difference between "there" and "their".
We've all seen the commercials and now Alexis and the fool in the story have proven it true "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"

You are a fool to assume this fashion statement is not a crime. These are people who are exposing themselfs to young children. These people are also exhibiting lewd activity in public. They are not holding their pants by the waist to keep them from falling down while they walk. These people are grabbing and holding their crotch. In EVERY state this is Lewd Activity when in the view of minors. In case this is not clear enough for you... It Is A Crime. A SEX CRIME at that. It has just taken a public out-cry to get the police to enforce it and they are going light on the punishment because some people still see it as a fashion statement rather than what it is.

Good, Good, Good, Good, Good, Good, and Good!
Men/boys/women/girls wearing their jeans so low that the crack of their behinds show are exhibitionists. No one wants to see this. At least one of the above mentioned people who were arrested was breaking the law. Break the law, get arrested! Period!
