Fashion styles change too fast for laws to keep up. Dallas is just getting around to banning "baggy" pants, and they are already going out of style. They should just go ahead a write the law to ban "anything those scary black people are wearing."

I wear cargo shorts. But no - I don't expose my underwear in public.

Council member Gary Griffith said he does not favor “taking policemen and women off patrol to track down and chase young people on how they’re dressing. That’s not the right use of our police force.” It wouldn't take much chasing. It's hard to run with your pants down around your knees.

Those baggy pants showing the underwear are the most senseless fashion statement that ever existed. Is it supposed to mean something? To me it means the wearer is a 100% cretin. They look like children who are too young to know you should up your pants after you go potty. But I don't think they should be banned because it is better that we know who the cretins are so we can shun them and/or make fun of them.

I heard the dropping pants style started from prison, where the dominant prisoner can checkout the a** of the newbies that they are preying on...

One school made it part of the dress code that pants/shorts cannot be two sizes larger than what fits the students.

Not a good idea. It would make law enforcement's job more difficult.

I just yell at them when I drive by, "Hey your pants are falling down!". Maybe it'll make one or two of them realize they look stupid. And that's my problem with it. They look absolutely stupid. Would you hire someone wearing that?

Yeah,
there's something government should be sticking its nose in. Establishing dress codes.

Every time I see someone dressed like this I want to yell at them to pull their pants up.

It wouldn't take much chasing. It's hard to run with your pants down around your knees. You're right. There was a truly heartwarming story in the WSJ a couple of months ago about the number of collars police make because the hood trips over his pants, gets them caught trying to jump a fence, etc. LOL!
Like I said -- heartwarming!

"Some Dallas City Council members are raising concerns about police attention being diverted to fashion instead of crime."
That's not a hard problem to solve, raise a new volunteer force of "fashion police" There will be plenty of volunteers ;)
