Sagging Jeans/Pants Are Punishable With A $100 Fine In Collinsville, Illinois

by admin on 07/12/2011 · 18 comments

Fellas if you like wearing your jeans and pants in the same fashion as the image above – you may not want to venture to Collinsville, Illinois anytime soon.  The city council has officially banned saggy pants with first time offenders getting fined $100 dollars and second time offenders $300 dollars plus 40-hours of community service.

The City Council in the southwestern Illinois community voted 3-2 on Monday to ban saggy pants.  The Belleville News-Democrat reports the ordinance forbids pants that ride lower than 3 to 4 inches below the waistline of the underwear. A first offense is punishable with a $100 fine, while a second offense would carry a $300 fine plus 40 hours of community service.

The ordinance was passed over the objections of City Manager Bob Knabel, who argued that enforcing it would sidetrack police officers from more important issues.

Fuck their city council, enforcing this law is a violation of civil rights and will eventually be overturned.

With a population of 26k and 90% of them being white…. who cares. Their town is not on anyone’s radar and it’s just a law created since the City Council is bored.

Every state should enforce that law. Sagging ur jeans is by far the stupidest fashion statement ever created. Jeans aren’t meant to be worn below ur ass and people should have to see ur boxers/underwear all out in the open,

So you really want the government sanctioning the way people dress. You may not like someones fashion statements but the government should have no hand in telling people what to wear.

I never get why people are so willing to throw their civil rights away. We live in a wonderfully free country were we get to live and dress in the manner we choose. If you let the government take away someones right to were they’re pants how they want because you don’t like it then it sets a president and opens the door for them to start taking away something you may like doing….this whole thing it stupid anyway any lawyer worth his salt could get this law overturned in there sleep it’s clear unconstitutional.

I get what your saying…I guess it’s indecent exposure so some degree lol some guys where those cotton pants and it’s just WAY to much info! In most cases they enforce such rules to at least tone the situation down. I doubt the law/fine will be enforceable! My lil bro did it for the longest time but to be honest they will grow out of it. So the state of Illinois should chill out.

1st they’re telling you how to dress, next they’re telling how what to eat… Big brother is slowly exposing its face to the masses and they’re too stupid to recognize it.

Farenheit 451 anyone?

I like the sagging pants. That way, I know which niggas to not trust and keep an eye on and blame if any shit pops off! Keep looking like a fool, get treated like a fool. Kind of like how us whites like dread heads – we know to stay away from those kind too!!

@heehe…good point. Also, Ladies help…raise your standards..brothers will step up to the plate….These cats aren’t men and you can easily tell if there is a strong positive male influence in their lives, so since they are still immature please treat them as such…make them grow up and be worthy of the term man.

sagging should have never became a trend!!! let’s make that clear. I agree with paul ,woman should raise their standards. I know I have never like sagging pants, it seems real gay to me, and I don’t date men who do it!!!! It not sexy, so just STOP!!!!!!

Woman also need to step their game up too. having your ass and titts out is not hot, just makes you look easy. Men know and will treat you how you treat yourself.
