Should there be a saggy-pants ordinance?

| Can the wearing of saggy pants be considered indecent exposure? |
An article this month's issue of The Urban News talks about a high-spirited saggy-pant debate bought before the Mecklenburg County Commissioners in early October.
Board member Bill James was approached by concerned community members
and took up the task to refer a “saggy pants” ban to a county committee
for study. Calling it the “Pull Em Up” ordinance, James suggested that
the county and city health and safety committees recommend making
“saggy pants” part of what is defined as indecent exposure.
