What a great comment! "a few pounds away from being a suppository!"

i live in dallas. the Pooolice don't even answer business burglery alarms. they supposedly answer residential alarms but they only show up 3-4 hours after the alarm with a false alarm notice. (I guess thats to give you enough time to call in a burglery crime)

If they don't enforce, traffic laws, burglery laws or much of anything, they have plenty of time to hassle kids dumb enough to dress this way! lovely city of dallas.

Another one of those "I won't ever but won't use the force of law to stop you from doing it" events.

Nothing wrong with good old fashioned social pressure to enforce community standards, but pul-eeeze!

That's not a hard problem to solve, raise a new volunteer force of "fashion police" There will be plenty of volunteers ;)

They could get volunteers from FRs spelling and grammar police.

How long until someone cries that the attemptted ban is racist?

It's sad to say but there are some parents out there that are teaching their kids to use racism as an excuse for not succeeding.

Law enforcement shouldn't advocate banning baggy pants. It makes it harder for perps to run...

That said, last weekend I had my son at the water park. Wearing the baggy pants style with a swimsuit, even if you've got your calvins on, is just plain stupid.
