14 DAY TRIAL // In the town of Terrebonne Parish in Louisiana, wearing your pants so low that they almost reach your ankles is now against the law.
The regulations have been imposed by the town council, who have voted on the respect, deciding that the fashion statement is inappropriate. Whoever disregards the fashion ban will incur a $50 (€38) fine and repeat offenders get to dish out $100 (€76).
You might say that the vote makes imposing the regulation constitutional but many are complaining about their 14th Amendment rights being violated.
“No Citizen should be deprived of ‘life, liberty or property’ and that no person should be denied equal protection of the law,” said article reads.

Meebal mentioned that this trend was started in prisons, where inmates weren't allowed to wear belts and it was later picked up by hip-hop singers, making their way into mainstream fashion.
