Fashion crimes for real: Flint, MI police to start arresting people with saggy pants (we feel confused, sad, perhaps scared)

What an interesting world we live in. Apparently, in Flint, Michigan, the crime level/social atmosphere is such that Police Chief David Dicks has taken on the issue of man fashion, specifically how young gentlemen are wearing their trousers.
Dicks, it seems, finds low-riding or "saggy" pants indecent and he's found a law to back him up.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the police chief believes wearing jeans that expose one's boxers can be considered either "disorderly conduct or indecent exposure, both misdemeanors punishable by 93 days to a year in jail and/or fines up to $500."

He further broke down his interpretation of the laws as, "Pants pulled completely below the buttocks with underwear showing is disorderly conduct; saggy pants with skin of the buttocks showing is indecent exposure, and saggy pants, not completely below the buttocks, with underwear exposed results in a warning."

Whoa. I don't know about this, something smells extreme and oppressive and creepily '50s-conservative.  Especially when you consider that one of the reasons to enforce this law is so cops have probable cause  to search perpetrators for other crimes, such as weapon and drug possession. Eek.
