The “Saggy Pants†ruling has been issued and it’s legal to wear extremely saggy pants. It’s a constitutional right to dress as ridiculous as one chooses. Julio Martinez of the Bronx was arrested and cited for wearing saggy pants but he has been cleared of all charges!
Saggy pants: How low is too low?
Martinez appearantly irked a police officer by sagging his pants so low that they had fallen below his buttocks. It’s unimaginable how pants can stay up when they’re that low. Most of the time, the person ends up wasting one hand by having to hold the pants up! What’s the point in that?
Here’s what the arresting officer had written about Martinez’s saggy pants:
“his pants down below his buttocks exposing underwear potentially showing private parts,â€
And that is a valid concern for the officer. Who knows how many times clothing malfunctions take place because of saggy pants? He was doing the right thing by citing Martinez. What if a malfunction occurred at a place where there were lots of people!
It's a Constitutional Right to Wear Saggy Pants
Although Judge Ruben Franco his own opinion on saggy pants, he ruled it was Martinez’s right to dress the way he wanted:
“While most of us may consider it distasteful, and indeed foolish, to wear one’s pants so low as to expose the underwear … ‘people can dress as they please, wear anything, so long as they do not offend public order and decency,’â€
That’s certainly true but seriously guys, it is, and let me repeart myself, it is not cool to have your pants sag. It’s obviously uncomfortable so why do you do it? Women do not find it attractive when men wear saggy pants.

It's about time that people are held accountable for what they do. When your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO WEAR BAGGY PANTS (WHICH SAG AND SHOW YOUR UNDERWEAR OR YOUR BUTT-CRACK) IMPEEDES ON MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE YOUR BUTT-CRACK; OFFENDS ME--then, you've impeeded on MY RIGHTS and now we have a violation to which a JUDGE needs to put down the "politically correct attitude" and say enough is enough! This generation is so eager to scream out about their "rights" yet, they have done NOTHING to earn those rights (they don't even want to pledge to our country's flag) that so many people have died for. If your a proud American THEN ACT LIKE ONE WITH SOME DECENTCY AND SELF-RESPECT. Showing off your butt-crack/underwear by wearing baggy pants only makes one statement: you're a dumb-ass that can't dress yourself and you have no self respect, dignity, values, or honor.
If you look and act like a jack-ass; then people will treat you like one. If you walk down the sidewalk wearing respectful clothing, hygiene in tact, clean-cut, and a positive, well spoken, articulate attitude about yourself--then people will see you as such. But, who the hell wants to talk, look, or HIRE someone who wears their baggy pants, exposing their underwear and ass?
I just can't stand it.
Black American males with whom this seems to have started should be shot.
This is the stupidest bunch of crap---mimicking prisoner attire---that I've ever seen. And black females who think it's cute are retarded and bereft of any self esteem. The bad boy brand is ridiculous.
I sometimes wish females would protest and go out wearing some hideous head rags, PINK sponge hair curlers, facial cream, sweat socks and flip flops and sagging sweat pants just to give these barbarians a mirror response.
The last thing the public should have to put up with is seeing a buffoon's underwear--and yes, you're a buffoon if your underwear is showing.
It's not enough that we have to smell your urine on the wall as we exit our car in the parking garage, or have to be interrupted in our lunch with your loud barbaric public presence, or have to watch where we step because you have spit all over the street or sidewalk like some hoofed animal.
Oh no.
These brutes have to also show their pathetic underwear. You're a disaster.
You are not sexy. You look retarded, unclean, uncultured, and trashy and nobody with any sense would give you directions to jail---where you clearly take your aesthetic lead and may even belong. It's ridiculous.
No doubt that what you say is true, though.
And I mean every word: black males are so lost in this country it's pathetic (our fine president notwithstanding) and the idea that something like this is even a debate among any black folks anywhere is tragic. But you know it's not the first time that black Americans have embraced pathology or its imagery. Not by a long shot.
They need to get something that actually fits!
