The Associated Press

April 23, 2004

BATON ROUGE (AP) — A Jefferson Parish 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, D-Marrero, said he filed the bill because he was tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the low-slung belt lines of young adults.

The 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.

“I’m sick of seeing it,” said Shepherd, a first-term legislator. “The community’s outraged. And if parents can’t do their job, if parents can’t regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law.”

The bill would be tacked onto the state’s obscenity law, which restricts sexual activity in public places and the sale of sexually explicit items.

yeah, because the state's obscenity law obviously stops people from flashing their tits at mardis gras.

/end sarcasm

seriously though, there's nothing to worry about. just because they make something a law doesn't mean the cops will enforce it. and i think that this guy shouldn't get too used to his comfy chair- people usually don't take too kindly to their legislators making laws based on their own wants and needs. "the community is outraged"? what the fuck ever.

wtf, a good many of the people at mardigras are hardly wearing clothes at all, some woment just paint over their nipples with paint and go out topless...low pants? lol

nothing like having dropped acid on burbon street when a crossdresser (or just someone who lost a bet) comes walking by in a lacey g string with his pubic hairs poking out the sides.

“I’m sick of seeing it."


Yes. Let us start passing bills based on just this.

Will the fashion police be federal, state, or local agencies?

he's a first-term rep in addition to being derrik sheppherd, who everyone hates. every first-term churns out a really outrageous bill purely for publicity. it's a tradition in the state house, really. this isn't going to actually happen.

Kinda funny how he thinks parent aren't regulating what the "young adults" are wearing. My parents don't like a lot of my clothes, but being that I'm a young adult, they can't stop me from wearing it. This law isn't going to effect the kids whose parents can still say "you're not going out in that". It's going effect those whose parents have no more say in the matter. That shouldn't even be part of his case.
