According to an article on Yahoo!:

Proposals to ban saggy pants are starting to ride up in several places. At the extreme end, wearing pants low enough to show boxers or bare buttocks in one small Louisiana town means six months in jail and a $500 fine. A crackdown also is being pushed in Atlanta. And in Trenton, getting caught with your pants down may soon result in not only a fine, but a city worker assessing where your life is headed.

"Are they employed? Do they have a high school diploma? It's a wonderful way to redirect at that point," said Trenton Councilwoman Annette Lartigue, who is drafting a law to outlaw saggy pants. "The message is clear: We don't want to see your backside."

What do you guys think? Is it reasonable for communities to not want to see guys roaming around with their pants at their ankles? Or are you ready to fight for your right to bare behinds?

Personally, I think the notion of banning saggy jeans is pretty ridiculous. I mean, I think low-riding pants are unattractive and unnecessary, but it's not a legislative issue. For me it sort of falls under the whole concept of "you don't have the right to not be offended." You may not like it, but it's not in your powers to change it.
