BATON ROUGE, LA (AP) -- A Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, lawmaker has filed a bill in the Legislature that would ban people from wearing low-slung pants below the waist, thus "exposing skin or intimate clothing."
State Rep. Derrick Shepherd got tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the low-slung belt lines of young adults.
His bill would punish anyone caught wearing low-riding pants with a fine of as much as $500 or as many as six months in jail, or both.
An ACLU spokesman says the bill goes too far. He says, "I can think of a lot of workers, plumbers, who are working and expose their buttocks."
