I'd like to see TRH's response when this law is used as a precursor to a terry stop and an individual is found to be in possession of an illegal firearm, or narcotics
What's a terry stop?

A detainment of someone we reasonably believe to be involved in criminal activity
Allowing us to do a quick pat down of outer clothing for weapons, and easily identifiable contraband.
The government plans these shootings by targeting kids from kindergarten that the government thinks they can control with drugs until the appropriate time--DerbyDude

OK...'wearing saggy pants' then...! Is their bare a$$ showing TRH...? Good grief...you spout off about the wrongs of government intrusion into our everyday lives...and many here agree with you on those points. And then you want the government to be able to tell us 'how and how not' to wear our clothes...!?!?
Where do you draw the line in terms of maintaining minimum public standards for decency? I see no problem with local communities instituting in their ordinances their standards based on local majority values.
I agree.
Didn't we used to have a 10th Amendment?

[quote=tjm10025] Hawkeye, this law about showing your underwear. Does that include women who let their bra straps hang out the armholes of a sleeveless top?
I don't even want to remember what I saw last year. She was in her late 30's, slightly plumb, and wearing a bikini that was too small for her. Laying on back with her knees in the air was a very scary sight.

Criminalizing bad fashion choices seems a bit extreme. Should the government be able to dictate to us what we can or can't wear based on their interpretation of what is offensive or not...? I'm in the "no" camp.

Permitting routine frisking for "officer safety" when issuing a citation for jay walking or public indecency is an obvious camel's nose opportunity for abuse. Just issue the citation.
When I was in high school our school library had a book about drug addiction, published in the 1930's. One section supposedly proved how chewing gum "habitually" led to cigarette smoking, which led to drinking deer, which led to marijuana smoking, which led to death from cocaine or heroin addiction.
Drinking deer? Let's leave the ungulate vampires out of this for now, shall we?
