Sagging Pants Outlawed in Jasper County

It will cost you if you get caught with your pants down in one South Carolina county.

The Jasper County council passed an ordinance Monday prohibiting sagging pants in public. It prohibits anyone from wearing pants more than three inches below the hips exposing skin or underwear.

The Beaufort Gazette reports the ordinance carries fines of between $25 and $500. The vote was 2-1 in favor with two council members absent.

Council member Gladys Jones voted against it. She says while sagging pants indicate a person has a negative self-image, the government has no business telling parents how their children should dress.

But Council Chairman George Hood says the ordinance is a way for adults to set a positive example for children. Continue reading the article on WISTV.com

    I’m sorry to say it but this trend is getting a little out of hand. I am not supporting their decession in which they would fine someone for how they choose to express their selves clothing wise, but you do have to understand that a lot of people are starting to get offened by always seeing your underwear. it’s a disgusting trend that I think that today’s youth should stop commiting to, whether or not they should be finded for it is a different story. What you have to understand is when you “sagg” it pertrays you as a criminal and it makes you lokk as if you are up to no good. If these boys would understand where sagging originated from I do not believe that many of would be continuing to wear their pants in that mannor. Believe it or not sagging came from way back in the slave days ehen the slave masters would not give the salves any belts in fear that they might run away. In Jail the do not provide the inmates with belts in fear that they might try to kill themselves or someone else. Many of the men in jail also choose to sagg their pant to show that they are “available”. So basically I just think that this needs to be stoped.
