Florida man arrested for wearing baggy pants

Kenneth Smith was arrested yesterday in Florida for wearing baggy pants. Smith was busted by Riviera Beach cops for violating a city ordinance governing low-slung trousers (or, legally speaking, "exposure of undergarment in public").

Smith, who was also charged with disorderly conduct, could be fined up to $150 on the pants charge. While first offenders like Smith only face a monetary hit, if a baggy pants devotee gets nabbed more than once, he/she could face up to 30 days in jail.

I'm all for cities making their own laws, but this is just insane. Especially (as John Turley points out) considering it's perfectly acceptable to wear nothing but a thong in Florida, but underwear, totally unacceptable. He's not harming anybody or exposing himself, so he should be left alone. More.
