It's not classy or appropriate for court especially when you're trying to make a good impression on the judge but def. not worthy of 3 days in the clink.

Good.

Now I get the saggy pants thing and I do believe I am of the generation where it may have spawned, but today's youth are taking it to another level entirely. It's not enough that they have pants 3 -10 sizes too large, but they insist on hanging the beltline below their damn ass-cheeks exposing their underwear. At least in my day we had enough sense about our hormone-enraged selves to wear longer shirts.

3 days is long but it is totally the judge's discretion. You're at his/her mercy. That's why you generally try to act nice and look nice. If you don't, **** like this is liable to happen.

I'm just waiting for people to go full retard and label the judge a racist.

Justice for LaMarcus!

Please don't start this sh*t.

Any moron that can't figure out what's proper courtroom attire deserves at least a fine for stupidity.

[lojasmo]

Not wise to fool around in a courtroom.

[pknopp]

THe judge could have asked him to pull them up. We are putting far too many people in jail over petty items. Give him community service. Don't make the taxpayers on the hook because the judge thinks he is special. There is no law against what the guy did.

[VarianceVQ]

There is no law against what the guy did.

Contempt of court.

[Der Schaltwerks]

It's against the law to wear baggy pants in some towns.

A master penis poll craftman can craft the penis poll without the use of the penis option.

[abawp]

Contempt of court.

Yup, I'm thinking the judge asked him to pull 'em up and he couldn't/didn't comply.

[pknopp]

Contempt of court.

There is no law that states that CoC is wearing your pants baggy. If so another judge could throw you in jail for not wearing a tie.

IF the judge had warned him before I would at least understand his position. THere is nothing that states he had.

I must have the penis option.

[Time for a GTI]

I must have the penis option.

I'm thinking about sigging that.

Every generation has stupid style fads that the previous generation will never understand, but there is a time and place to not look like a douchebag, and court is #1 on the list.

[Der Schaltwerks]

I wonder if a broad has ever been jailed for exposing too much rack in court.

Yes, they have. It was big news here a while back, for traffic court of all things. The two girls decided to go full slut mode to try impressing a judge they figured was an old, dried up white guy. Judge was a woman their mother's age. She wasn't impressed. Told the two to put their jackets back on. They didn't, and one went off on a tangent about how it's a free country and she can't be told what to wear or not wear.

BAM. Tickets were upheld, and they both got to spend a little extracurricular time in the county facilities.

[BRealistic]

Baggy pants is gateway apparel.

[zaYG]

Stupid behavior, but an even worse abuse of power.

[vento86]

I crazy that they would do that. As stated; it does waste money, and really? What does it prove? They lock people up for the dumbest reasons. It shows that we really have no freedom. If I wana sag pants(which I do) I'm gonna do it. Hell, I do whatever I want. You only live once so do what you want and be happy. As long as you're not hurting anyone, who cares?

[bmann]

Hell, I do whatever I want.

[vento86]

I do drugs too

Living on the walking route of a high school, I can keep up on the fashion trends of the day.

The Saggy Baggy was dumb, but proportionately, it had a certain inoffensiveness about it.

The new thing I see are kids who take their girlfriend's skinny pants, and sag them. So you get some dude, trying to look hard in his Saggy Skinny pants.
There is nothing redeeming about this trend.

[backinthegame]

Nothing says "I take it in the ass" like saggy pants. It's like a tramp stamp for prison bitches.

Wasn't the whole 'wearing pants half off of the ass' trend started in jails so that people could show their gang colors via their underwear?

While the sentiments are admirable, the article alludes to, but does not make nor support that claim...

Read the headline of the article?

LaMarcus D. Ramsey sentenced to three days in jail for wearing "saggy pants" in Alabama courtroom

[Air-over-water]

Stupid behavior, but an even worse abuse of power.

So if someone stood up in court and started cursing, would it be abuse of power if the judge found them in CoC?
To many, this is seen as offensive and disrespectful.
Act like an idiot and get treated like an idiot. He got what he deserved.
