Fashion Police!

What happens when fashion becomes merely objectionable to illegal. Since June 2007 sagging jeans below the waist have been against the law in Delcambre Louisiana. Offenders face a fine as low as 500 dollars or as much as 6 months jail time. The question that rises is do the government actually have a right to interfere with a persons' personal preference of dress style? I mean this is a country where freedom of speech and expression is encouraged. The American Civil Liberties Union does not think so. Benetta Stanley of A.C.L.U, of Georgia states "we don't feel it's the governments role" (New York Times Oct. 07) However, state officials of Louisiana feel pants worn below the waist is indecent and pose a threat to the public. But 6 months jail time seems a bit extreme. I mean can one be that offended by seeing boxers that he/she would want to put someone away for 6 months. Even if they get off with a fine, it just does not seem morally right. I personally feel sagging jeans should not be encouraged at all, but at the same time should also be ones choice. I mean just imagine, your sitting in jail next to murders, drug dealers, and wife beaters, then someone ask you what you in for...you say"sagging my jeans". Just doesn't sound too right.
