褲子快掉下來了...。垮褲是流行趨勢還是有礙觀瞻，一直存在爭議。美國終於有位法官大膽宣佈：禁穿垮褲，違憲！（鼓鼓掌～）



美國邁阿密媒體16日報導，佛羅里達州法官判決，法律禁止穿露出內褲的垮褲，作法違憲。

據「中央社」報導，一名十七歲青少年上周因穿低腰垮褲，在佛州東南部的裡維拉海灘市被逮捕，監禁一晚。

禁止所謂的「垮褲」法令是在三月由當地市議會通過。支持者聯署五千人的簽名，促使法令過關。「棕梠灘郵報」報導，上述青少年原被判罰一百五十美元，或是社區勞動服務，不過他曾有大麻前科，因此被監禁一晚。

棕梠灘法官莫耀做出判決前說：「你們幫幫忙。這又不是說有人露出臀部，不是！這是有人穿了褲子，內褲顯然被警察看到，然後被逮捕，拘留一晚，無法保釋。」

公設辯護律師貝克史達福女士說：「庭上，我們現在有儀容警察。」她要求法官宣判此法「違憲」。 報導說，法官隨即同意貝克史達福的要求。

美國有好幾個城市明文禁止穿低腰垮褲，其中路易斯安那州的德肯勃，罰金最高達五百美元，或長達六個月的徒刑。其它考慮採取類似作法的大城市包括德州達拉斯，以及喬治亞州的亞特蘭大。

看看右边的原文就知道了，其实是说法律违宪，而不是传Baggy Pants的人违宪。（其实仔细看中文的第一句就知道了，文中说的也是这个意思，但转载的人显然曲解了。）

原文其实是这样的：

MIAMI — A Florida judge has deemed unconstitutional a law banning baggy pants that show off the wearer’s underwear, local media reported.

A 17-year-old spent a night in jail last week after police arrested him for wearing low pants in Riviera Beach, southeast Florida.

The law banning so-called "saggy pants" was approved by city voters in March after supporters of the bill collected nearly 5 000 signatures to put the measure on the ballot.

The teen would have received a 150 dollars fine or community service, but he spent the night in jail due to a history of marijuana use, the Palm Beach Post newspaper said.

"Somebody help me," said Palm Beach Circuit Judge Paul Moyle, before giving his decision.

"We’re not talking about exposure of buttocks. No! We’re talking about someone who has on pants whose underwear are apparently visible to a police officer who then makes an arrest and the basis is he’s then held overnight, no bond."

"Your honor, we now have the fashion police," added public defender Carol Bickerstaff, who asked the law be declared "unconstitutional."

The judge agreed with Bickerstaff immediately, reported the Post.

Laws that ban low-slung pants are on the books in several US cities, including Delcambre, Louisiana, where offenders can be fined up to 500 dollars or jailed for up to six months.

Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia are among the larger US cities considering similar measures.
