Caught With His Pants Down
Florida man nabbed for violating city's new baggy trouser ordinance
SEPTEMBER 3--Meet Kenneth Smith. The Florida man, 29, was arrested yesterday for wearing baggy pants. Smith was busted by Riviera Beach cops for violating a city ordinance governing low-slung trousers (or, legally speaking, "exposure of undergarment in public"). According to a Riviera Beach Police Department affidavit, cops were investigating a report of a man selling drugs from a parked Chevy Impala when they spotted Smith standing beside the vehicle. As Officer B. Jackson noted in the report, Smith's brown and white plaid shorts "were so low that it exposed his blue and white boxer shorts approximately two inches below his waist." Smith, who was also charged with disorderly conduct, could be fined up to $150 on the pants charge. In a bid to criminalize a fashion style popularized by urban youth and hip-hop fans, Riviera Beach voters approved the new ordinance earlier this year. While first offenders like Smith only face a monetary hit, if a baggy pants devotee gets nabbed more than once, he/she could face up to 30 days in jail.

You know what I think is almost as funny as the baggy pants themselves?? Its rosco's dislike of them..lmao

I personally wear short pants a lot, almost all the time now that are somewhat long in the leg length, they come down at my knees, but that is in style now for short pants, just look at the tennis players pants nowadays, that's how my pants are..lol I feel silly talking about pants but its funny.lmao I also wear Hawaiian style shirts all the time like "Hawkeye" did in the TV show "MASH".

But baggy long pants like rosco's picture he posted I never wear, I don't even own a pair, its not my generation to wear pants like that for one thing, and its just not my style, I wear regular Levi's blue jeans long pants. The baggy pants like rosco's pic are mostly worn by Hip-Hop music fans and rappers. My style of pants are rockers style which is blue jeans.
