Pull ?em up or pay up? is new law in Mansfield
 

MANSFIELD ? ?Pull ?em up or pay up.?

That?s Police Chief Don English?s interpretation of a new law that takes effect in Mansfield on Sept. 15

Anyone caught wearing sagging pants who exposes his or her underwear will be subject to a fine of up to $150 plus court costs, or face up to 15 days in jail.

Mansfield aldermen voted unanimously at today?s 4:30 p.m. meeting to enact the new law.

The law makes it illegal to found in a ?state of nudity, or partial nudity, or in any indecent exposure of his or her person or undergarments, or be guilty of any indecent or lewd behavior.?

City attorney Richard Z. Johnson Jr. said he used a similar law in Delcambre as a guideline in creating Mansfield?s ordinance. Several municipalities and parish governments in Louisiana have enacted similar laws in recent months.

wow...I know seeing some wigger's kmart boxers isn't the greatest thing in the world....but fine-worthy?

What if your wearing shorts or a bathing suit under your pants?
Or are those now banned as well?

it's not really my thing to wear clothes like that, but it's pretty messed up that the government is deciding what and how we wear clothes :-/
