The Mayor of Pine Lawn, Sylvester Caldwell is pushing hard to get a Saggy Pants Law passed, and hopes to introduce it to state legislatures as a bill and make it statewide.

Many teenagers insist wearing sagging pants in public is just a fun, fashion statement, but the City of Pine Lawn wants the kids to pull up their pants.

Wearing saggy pants is a trend especially popular amongst black youth. In Delcambre, Louisiana the banning is already in effect.

If there is even a glimpse of boxers or bare buttocks showing it can lead to a $500 or six months in jail.

Atlanta may have a similar ban that would include small fines, community service but no jail time.

The NAACP says these laws are offensive, and claim it is a case of racial profiling.
