Seriously? We are now willing to give up the Constitution in the hopes of turning around a couple of young men? Sometimes, I feel like screaming!
Looks like a lot of plumbers will be facing fines in Louisiana

Too-Saggy Pants Banned in Louisiana, Prompts Fears of Racial Profiling
By Beth Greenfield, Shine Staff | Fashion 6 hours ago
Pants on the ground? Better pull em up fast if youre in Louisianas Terrebonne Parish, where a new law bans the low-slung, undies-exposing jeans look popularized by hip-hop culture.
The ban, approved Wednesday and expected to be signed into law this week, targets the public wearing of pantsand, oddly, skirtsthat hang below the waist and expose the skin or undergarments. Violators will be slapped with fines: $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second, and $100 plus 16 hours of public service for each subsequent offense.

But Navywho points out that the local chapter of the NAACP has publicly supported the bansaid he is not targeting any specific group of people. I am an African-American, he told Yahoo! Shine. I know Im not racial profiling. Terrebonne Parish, according to 2012 Census stats, has a population of 111,900 thats 72 percent white and 19 percent black.
Hornsby added that he was personally torn about how to vote, and that he would like to reevaluate the effects of the law in a year to see if its doing any good. I was skeptical, and had a lot of sleepless nights, he said. It may be against the constitution but if we can turn around a couple of young men it would be worth it.
