11 Blacks Arrested for SAGGING in Florida

[Rossini]

SEPTEMBER 11--Last week we brought word of the arrest of Kenneth Smith, a Florida man busted for wearing baggy pants that exposed his boxer shorts. Well, it turns out that the Riviera Beach cops have been rather diligent in enforcing a new city ordinance targeting droopy shorts and trousers, according to police reports. Since officers began their crackdown last month, they have arrested at least 11 other baggy pants perps (of that group, two are juveniles). Below you'll find mug shots of eight of the other nine arrestees, aged between 18 and 36. As seen in a series of Riviera Beach Police Department probable cause affidavits, each of the males was nabbed after officers determined that low-slung pants or shorts had resulted in the exposure of between two and five inches of the individual offender's boxer shorts.

While most of the busts occurred without incident, a few of the arrestees appeared bewildered that they were being arrested for a trouser-related offense. One of the juveniles, in fact, cursed out Officer J. Thornton and said, according to one affidavit, "Your a cracker and ain't got shit better to do." First-time violators of ordinance 12-3043 face a fine of up to $150. Repeat offenders could be sentenced to a maximum of 30 days in jail.

I gotta agree. They're not gonna arrest women which shows that there's bias in how this law will be applied. Besides that, this is Riveria Beach, FL not Des Moines, Iowa. Would they arrest a woman walking around outside with a bikini on? It's highly unlikely.


Having saying that, we need to get a grip on the young men in the community. I hate saggin as much as the next person but it's really a issue of community standards, not law enforcement.

Is this more important then stopping drugs and rampant crime in communities?

 

[marcus]

I wonder how many white boys
were out there
sagging and didn't get arrested

 

[J Storm]

Wait a Second. They are on a BEACH! If wearing your SWIMMING TRUNKS is not against the law, how can this be against the LAW?

I honestly think that they can take this to the Supreme Court and win... But them dudes look like they already got records... so never mind.

these niggas should be in a boot camp somewhere...sarcasm

 

[Mr.Chuckles]

I dont agree with arresting men for sagging that just gives a officer more thing to arrest black men for, to give them records this shit is starting to target younger black men, why not write them a fucking ticket if it's a fine and let a judge decide.

This will get out of hand if black leaders dont pick up on this quickly, they will be snatching black men right and left till 1 in every 5 black men will have a record, that shit aint cool.

We are not complaining about women wearing sexy clothes. We are talking about that stupid ass law about showing underwear. Yeah I hate to see DUDES with sagging pants with boxers showing but these idiot lawmakers are acting like these dudes are commiting a crime against someone. I want you to think about the double standard that these officers will have when faced with the situation!!!!!!!

 

[Varis]

whats up with the flaming red large text? I think you are a fag and you like looking at guy who are guilty of indecent exposure , it is a law, just obey it.
there is a difference between showing your underwear and wearing a swimsuit
grown ass men showing thier underwear like fools on purpose
I could see if you are someone who lost a lot of weight and forgot to wear a belt but damn

its about the double standard of their underwear showing. Yes i do think its very gay to show ya boxers sagging ya pants. i heard sagging your pants in prison means something else BUT its not fair and to go to JAIL BECAUSE OF IT?! Thats crazy..next your tees too long jail time. Sneakers aint fresh enough jail time. Jeans ripped at the bottom its showing the back of ya sock!!

 

[brickwall92]

them crackers in singer island might have had a slight hand in it ,but rev masters our local al sharpton type is the mayor of rivera beach and the city voted on it he proposed it

Agreed. They should treat this just like no shoes, no shirts, no service. Just add saggin pants to the list & don't allow them to enter into stores, malls, restaurants, etc.

DID YOU JUST SEE THE RED TEXT OR DID YOU READ YOU DUMB CUNT. YES THESE DUDES DO LOOK STUPID I'LL ADMIT, BUT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU THERE IS GOING TO BE A DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN WOMEN SHOW THEIR THONG AND NOT GET ARRESTED. I LIKE SEEING THE WOMEN SHOW THE UNDERWEAR BUT LIKE I SAID, THIS LAW WILL ONLY TARGET MEN WHILE WOMEN WILL GET A FREE PASS. OH AND THE LARGE PINK TEXT IS FOR YOU BITCH

 

[tyup333]

Nigga on bottom right might've been wearing a thong!!! Looks like hes trying to go back!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gene cisco]

I have a solution so you can drive the white folks insane.

WEAR SWIMMING TRUNKS UNDER YOUR PANTS!!!!!!!!!!

Surely they can't arrest you for exposing a bathing suit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I hate sagging fuck these white folks coming up with another reason to fuck with folks. Like homeoy said, just refuse service. No need to get a criminal record for this shit.

 

[EATUGOOD1]

Why not just pull your pants up and avoid the whole situation altogether?

lol your text is too big I cant read it unless I get out of my chair and walk to the other side of the room

now I'm against racial profiling , dont pull me over and search my car for drugs just because Im Black. Some of you are trying to compare this to that, its not even close.

some of you are complaining about white people and women doing the same.
I have never been to a mall and a saw a female or white guy with thier entire ass hanging over thier pants. These guys have the waist of their pants on thier lower hips. showing everyone thier full boxers. should little kids in the mall have to see this? should anyone decent see this? some of you are saying just refuse service, ok but what about the fools walking down the street in public? you have kids standing at a bus stop and some idiot wants to walk by with his pants just above his knees.

 

[Zero]

From what I see, they are trying to use this to bypass probable cause. There are plenty of more clean-cut looking kids walking around with their pants sagging, but from the photos, they targeted people they thought they could catch up on other charges once they had them in the system. This shit is basically being used to bypass profiling issues. These arrests will not hold up in court challenges if only certain types of people in certain areas wearing certain clothes are being arrested for "dress code" violations. What about fat guys with poorly fitted pants showing ass-crack (is showing your boxers a crime, but showing your ass-crack not?)

Somebody already mentioned swim suits and low rise jeans on women/metrosexuals/homosexuals.

Dog, if everything that somebody didn't like was criminalized, best believe that eventually YOU would be on somebody's list as well for something. I hate seeing dudes in skin tight pants and tight shiny shirts, I hate seeing fags in hotpants and on rollerskates, I hate seeing fat chicks in lowrise jeans, I could go on and on. Why is THIS particular fashion abortion a crime while other similarly hideous fashion abortions are not?

 

[Bounce]

Because that would be too smart...and we all know these nucca's are dumb as fuck.

are you guys retarded? those things you listed are not illegal, indecent exposure has always been a crime, when and why did some black guys start wearing thier pants off thier ass? I heard one of those guys tried to run but tripped and fell because his pants tangled on his legs
