I can’t believe they think this will do anything. Cigarettes are illegal for people under 18, beer for people under 21, and dugs are all illegal (except in some states marijuana is ok for medicinal purposes). Ever notice how well these laws work? How regularly are they enforced? – Only when there are complaints of a party being too loud.
Now some dim-witted Louisiana state representative (Derrick Shepherd) thinks that a law will stop kids from wearing their pants below the waste. Shall we also make a law that says all females should all wear dresses below the knee? – Really though I’m wondering, what should people wear to the beach and swimming class? I haven’t measured the skin factor, but I’m thinking people show more when they’re not wearing pants at all. This law if passed will be just as effective as speeding laws. It’ll be just another selective and randomly enforced tax. Imposed only when some arrogant cop doesn’t like the way some kid talked to them or the way they looked. I’d be willing to bet the majority of cute girls will get off scott-free.
