I think this is a good idea. I wish this bill would be put into place in the stae I live in. I get tired of seeing people wear the saggy pants. It's so gross to see their underwear and even more so when "more" is exposed then just the underwear

Underwear Police? Virginians May Be Fined For Low-Cut Pants

People Would Face $50 Fine

Posted: 7:14 am EST February 8, 2005

Richmond, Va. -- A Norfolk, Va., legislator says the droopy-drawers bill may be his legacy.

The Virginia House of Delegates has tentatively approved a bill to crack down on people who wear low-riding pants.

Freshman Norfolk Delegate Algie Howell Jr. introduced the bill at the urging of constituents who are offended by the exposed underwear.

Howell said, "That's why they're called undergarments. They're supposed to be worn under something else.

"Delegates approved a measure that would allow police to assess a $50 fine on anyone who exposes their below-waist underpants in a "lewd or indecent manner.

"Howell said that since he introduced it last month, he's been deluged with calls and e-mails about the issue, mostly positive.

Howell told The Virginian-Pilot that he kept hearing from customers in his barber shop that something needed to be done about young people who wear their pants around their knees, exposing their underwear.

When a House subcommittee took up the matter, the response was sympathetic yet skeptical because of legal issues.

It's going to the House floor for a vote.
