Hello, I've been reading about a new law in Flint regarding people "sagging" their pants. I would just like to clarify some questions I have regarding the new law as I will be in Flint next month. According to the image I saw online, which may or may not be legitimate, it said if your pants are "sagging" and your underwear are exposed you could possibly be charged with "disorderly conduct". The question I pose is what if you did not have boxer shorts on underneath your pants at all; but instead had a regular pair of shorts and you were sagging? Would this warrant a criminal charge or fine? I mean technically speaking no "underwear" would not be showing, a pair of shorts would be showing. Also, what if I had two pairs of pants on and were only "sagging" the outer pair? No undergarments would be showing, would this warrant a charge? Additionally, what if I only wore boxer shorts with no pants or regular shorts at all? Could I get charged with something? Assuming my junk didn't pop out the hole in the front nothing "indecent" would be showing. I mean the only difference between "shorts" and "boxer shorts" is pockets and a zipper. But I wear boxer that have a snap on the hole, so my junk probably couldn't hand out even if I wanted it to... My last question is this, will females get fines if their bra strap is showing? I mean I like seeing titties just as much as the next guy, but how is their underwear any less offensive than a mans? I await your reply. Thanks for your time.
