he said he was in front of his driveway, well maybe so but he was still on the sidewalk which makes it public property.
saggy pants are supposed to be "cool" because it supposedly means that you have been in prison and you lost so much weight that when you got out your pants no longer fit.

so in their minds being an ex con is "cool"

it doesn't get more stupid than that fellas.

I for one personally hate the style and think it is the most ridiculous law which can be manipulated by the police for just what it is. A business venture to make more revenue.

They didn't need to pass a law like that. His pants weren't hanging past his ass. His waistband was showing. If their asses are out then fine,you can warn them or arrest them for indecent exposure,whuch I believe is already a law.

If you want to get technicall,I too can manipulate the wording of the law.In the video the officer said its illegal to have skin showing. If this is the case, he himself should be arrested for having that big pumpkinhead unclothed. The skin of his face was visible and that might be offensive to others.

I'll agree that the style is useless,not for what it represents, but for the indecency part. I personally don't want to see someone's can hanging out because it's unsightly.Overall view is that it's an unjust law and if people such as yourself agree with these menial laws they make, it's only a mater of time before we're all slaves or in jail.Freedom of choice,expression,speech.How would you feel as an adult if somebody forbid you to wear what you like???

that is sufficient in my opinion.
or is breaking the law not doing "anything wrong"?

if they didn't like the law they should have voted against it...ya think?


One more point I forgot to make.Why aren't all our Law enforcement and elected state and govt officials being held responsible for the breaking of the law?

Illegal immigration violates every right of every American citizen. Isn't there a war on terror? Every one of these people could be a potential terrorist.They manipulate American laws w/the help of state agencies.

Violation of the law w/help from NY State

These agencies should be holding them accountable for their actual crime of violating our laws w/disregard.Instead they assist them because it's all about making money on Americans whom they can hold hostage by means of personal property they own. This is nothing more than slave master tactics.

Every one involved should be held accountable for aiding and abetting a criminal,Harboring a fugitive,any crime an illegal committs and above all Treason. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

What obout Gov't Spitzer. Wasn't he having affairs w/hookers? Prostitution is illegal and he was prosecuting people to the fullest extent for the same acts he himself was comitting. HYPOCRITE.After that Gov patterson was elceted into office and days later admitts to having an affair for years. If you want to get technical about the law.Both Govs should have been prosecuted.

Section 255.17 Adultery A person is guilty of adultery when he engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse.

Adultery is a class B misdemeanor.


Didn't they also have children??

Section 260.10 Endangering the welfare of a child

A person is guilty of endangering the welfare of a child when:

1. He knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child less than seventeen years old or directs or authorizes such child to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his life or health.


The LAW is the LAW, only when it's convenient for certain factions to imply and benefit from it!!!!

If you ask me,There should be harsher penalties for elected officials and law enforcement who knowingly break the laws they were trained in to uphold. The sentence should be triple considering they KNOW the law and WILLINGLY broke it. Watch how fast they change their corrupt ways. Instead they are given a get out of jail free card. You think this is justifiable?

After all, you said and I quote
the LAW is the LAW. ignorance is no excuse for it.!!!!!!

Yes, you may wear whatever you want.

If you wear something inappropriate in public you will pay for it.

Be as ignorant as you want to be.

You have freedom of speach also but go yell FIRE in a theatre and see what happens.

I guess common sense isn't common anymore.

Thats proven on forums everyday.

So you'd have someone arrested for they're fashion?
From your avatar which I'm assuming is a caricature of you I'd say your a slightly goth influenced alternative kind of person.
So what if someone decides pink hair is offensive and outlaws it?

I bet you'd change your tune pretty quickly.

Yelling fire in a theatre is totally different to a man wearing saggy pants, get that in your head.

I was playing devils advocate, actually. I dont think the cops have any business arresting people for clothing alone- maybe indecency for lack of clothing. I do wish the fad would die off, though. Just my opinion. I doubt saggy pants wearers care about my opinion. I dont care if someone thinks I look freaky with my pink hair and black alien eyes either. But at least I dont walk around with my butt hanging out of my pants.
