There are quite a few, among which we find: •New bans have been adopted in Hawkinsville, Ga., and six Louisiana cities and parishes, including Shreveport and Alexandria. •Proposed bans are under consideration in Trenton and Pleasantville, N.J.; Charlotte; Dallas; Baltimore; Atlanta and three other Georgia towns including Rome, Brunswick and Plains; Duncan, Okla.; and Yonkers, N.Y. •Bans have been rejected in Natchitoches, La.; Stratford, Conn.; and Pine Bluff, Ark. Penalties range from fines or jail time to warnings. Several towns in Louisiana, including Mansfield, near Shreveport, passed measures in June that include fines of $150 or 15 days in jail. The Dallas city council is considering a non-binding resolution against sagging pants. "Their intent is to show that they're looking to maintain or restore order," says David Bositis, a senior political analyst for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank that focuses on issues related to black Americans. The low-slung style was inspired by the beltless pants worn by prison inmates. It spread through the hip-hop music community to urban neighborhoods and then to the suburbs. The style is predominantly worn by black youth, according to Bositis. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-10-14-Baggy_N.htm Oct 08 10, 4:53 PM

Add Dublin, Georgia to the list, too. Not one of our more progressive communities... http://articles.cnn.com/2010-09-07/justice/georgia.baggy.pants.law_1_saggy-pants-baggy-pants-face-fines?_s=PM:CRIME An ordinance such as this one was found unconstitutional in Palm Beach, Florida. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5ioneCGmNqFWu8xsXxFdAxwZZUZmg Oct 08 10, 4:56 PM
