p2pnet view P2P:- If you’re boogying along, pants around your knees, you won’t be arrested.

Not in New York, anyway.

There, a judge has “thrown out a summons issued to a man for wearing saggy pants, saying the U.S. Constitution protected people’s right to dress as they please, even if they looked ridiculous doing so”, says Reuters.

“The ruling was in response to a citation Julio Martinez of the Bronx received last April for wearing his pants so low his underwear could be seen, according to court documents obtained by Reuters on Thursday”, it says.

The claim that wearing his hat sideways was an offence was also thrown out, p2pnet has learned exclusively.

Sagging, anyone?

(Cheers, RW)
