>I dont see how it would never work. ever, ever, ever.
>Sure, I think its ridicilious when I see a guy walking around with his underware hanging out and his jeans around his knees...but then again I dont think the government should be making laws about how people dress either, plus this is a law that is obviously aimed at black folks. With all the stuff going on these days you'd think you'd want to keep the police busy on something else.
>I'd be interested to hear what others think about it. Personally I don't think we need the pigs harrasing guys based on how they dress. Just because someone has such poor social skills they dress like a fool ya shouldn't make it a criminal act. Is this somehow offensive? ooooh I see yer boxer shorts! I'm calling 911! eeek! eeek! gawwwd get over it! "....The proposed ordinance would also bar women from showing the strap of a thong beneath their pants. They would also be prohibited from wearing jogging bras in public or show a bra strap...." - yeaaah riiiiight. Hey you put that law into effect out here in Ft. Lauderdale and 70% of the girls on my beach will be getting tickets. Stoooooopid.
>Hopefully the American Civil Liberties Union can help put a stop to this.

This was tried in Virginia a year or two ago, and it passed one house, but had to be laughed out of the other, because meanwhile someone leaked the whole thing to the press, who had a great day (or a week) making fun of legislators.
