  Hold on, wait a minute, put a little BOOM in it. If they go ahead with this then they are going to have to do the same for showing clevage. Now that would be a down right shame. Now, what do you say to that? And what about all those oversized construction workers, they be showing crack all day long, you gonna arrest them too...Give me a break! I was in a mall once and a security gaurd came up to me an asked that I remove my hood. Right in front of everyone. It became even more funny when I removed it and everyone saw it was just a 43 year old, balding white man, who was just cold...Like I said, give me a break people...PeAcE

  What everyone seems to be missing is that we (supposedly) live in a FREE country with the right to dress ourself the way we'd like too - even if it means that certain individuals choose to look, well, stupid! I hate this fashion too, but I worry when a governmental agency, like the police department , or rather an individual who RUNS that department, decided to use LAW to CONTROL our FREEDOM! What if the police department decide that it is indecent to show your political beliefs on a tee-shirt or pin, what if if becomes indecent to voice your options in a public space, what if every choice YOU make on a daily basis was judged and ruled by ONE individual to be indecent or not! I feel that Police Chief David Dicks and the Flint, Michigan police department or using this "LAW" to cover their racial profiling and detaining individuals without probable cause. People WAKE UP!!! "LAWS" like this are dangerous! PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS!!!

  i strongly agreed that it has to be enforced all over US no matter what gender. with this, people will think that the authority is not ignoring people who are agressively showing indecent/inapropriate attire that most of the time triggers or provokes some people seeing it to commit a crime or response negatively. i have two thumbs up with that law.

  I agree with the first part of Dale T.'s comment -- what about the girls with their low-waisted pants that expose their thongs?

  mimi has a great point where do we draw the line when it comes to the law enforcing our right to wear the styles that we prefer. I personally don't like sagging pants but I really don't enjoy men in speedos or nut crunchers either that is offensive t me but oh well that's those individuals rights. If they found my bathing offensive and outlawed it I would be pretty upset if you don't like it don't look but our soldiers past and present have fought wars for our right to have choices and to give people the right to take those away is just ridiculous. do your research and start voting for the people!!!!!
