Saggy-Pants Laws Target Minorities

Saggy Pant Laws Violate A Basic First Amendment Right To Free Speech And The Liberty Interest In Expression.

An Individuals Liberty Interest Is A Basic Right That Falls Under The Same Category As The Other Liberties Guaranteed Under The U.S. Constitution.

Based On A World Wide Clothing Trend Police Target Certain Communities, Usually The Black Community.

This Racially Based Profiling Leads To A Disproportionate Amount Of Black Males Being Stopped And Searched Unnecessarily, Which In Turn Leads To Senseless Arrests For Minor Offenses.

There Is No Proof That The "Saggy Pants" Epidemic Has Caused An Increase In Crime Across The Country.

Lawmakers Should Consider The Cost, Both Human And Fiscal, Of Criminalizing Harmless Behavior at The Public's Expense.
