Cajun Town Bans Saggy Pants
Jun 13 12:02 PM US/Eastern
DELCAMBRE, La. (AP) - Sag your britches somewhere else, this
Cajun-country town has decided.
Mayor Carol Broussard said he would sign an ordinance the town council
approved this week setting penalties of up to six months in jail and a
$500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments or certain
parts of the body.
Broussard said he has nothing against saggy pants but thinks people who
wear them should use discretion. "It's gotten way out of hand out here,"
he said.
Albert Roy, the councilman who introduced the ordinance, said he thought
the fine was a little steep and should be more in the $25 range, but he
still favored the measure.
"I don't know if it will do any good, but it won't hurt," Roy said.
"It's obvious, and anybody with common sense can see your parts when you
wear sagging pants."
Broussard's advice for people who like their pants to hang low: "Just
wear it properly. Cover your vital parts. I mean, if you expose your
private parts, you'll get a fine. If you walk up and your pants drop,
you get a fine. They're better off taking the pants off and just wearing
a dress."
