Skateboard lifestyle enthusiasts often wear ridiculously baggy pants when they are not on their boards. It's just part of the look. But if you're ever in Flint, Michigan, be careful about just how baggy your pants are... you could actually be arrested. Flint cops are now actually arresting people for wearing saggy pants that expose their boxers, under garments, or bare butts. The chief of the Flint Police department told the press that he thought baggy pants were “a national nuisance” and released a memo to his officers that said “this immoral self expression goes beyond freedom of expression." The cops even said that wearing saggy pants is “probable cause” and can give them the right to search teens and other saggy pants wearers. It's a completely ridiculous law... but if you are ever heading to Flint for any reason, make sure you pack a belt for your trip.
