Saggy pants
|
If you like wearing those saggy pants you will have to leave this
Florida city, according to reports.
A Florida city council said an ordinance could result in a fine for
wearing sagging pants, thought the new rule does not take effect until next
year so that the community can be informed. Cocoa City Council voted 3 to 1 (Tuesday Oct. 23) in favor of the ordinance, which would impose fines of $25 in carriers
of sagging pants who previously received verbal warnings, a local newspaper reported
on Wednesday.
Councilman Clarence Whipple, the only vote against the ordinance, said
he tried to postpone the vote on the ordinance after residents expressed
concern about profiling and selective enforcement. His motion was denied. "We
must ensure that our Cocoa Police Department enforces this ordinance in all
districts," Whipple said. "I am asking that we educate the public
prior to the adoption of this ordinance."
The Council agreed to postpone enforcement of the ordinance until January
1 so that the public can be educated about the new rules before fines are
imposed.
