... father Walter Lucas said, ... pull the pants up whenever he saw that they were a little low.
This sorry little pr!ck is 19! Does daddy tell him when to take a breath, too. At 19 I was guarding my country's borders, responsible for multi-million dollar pieces of equipment. This sad little boy can't keep his pants up.
As I frequently remind my wife, this is the caliber of 'people' who will be changing our diapers in a couple decades. Heaven help us.

Kid’s almost certainly lying. Which is more plausible:
1. that someone with the banquet hall — which just wants to make money and avoid trouble — LIED when they called police over a sagging-pants violation that had led to arguments?
or
2. the kid’s lying, picked a fight with guests and then cops, and later got his friends and relatives to agree to be “beaucoup witnesses” for him by also lying?

Dress code contracts typically include language to the effect that those who do not abide by the dress code (conditions of the contract) will be required to depart the premises. Their failure to depart, when requested to do so, becomes trespassing ... and can quickly escalate to disorderly conduct or assault. These most certainly are criminal matters. The cop was "moonlighting" as a private security guard, thus was well within his authority to :
1) request that the guest abide by the terms of the contract that allowed him to be on the premises
2) arrest the guests who became disorderly rather than abiding by the contract.
This simply is NOT a matter of police or state overreaching. It's a matter of a young punk acting like a young punk, and two old idiots who should know better aiding and abetting him. The groom has no excuse whatsoever: he signed the contract, he knew its contents.

Enforcability of contracts is a fundamental pillar of civilised society. The matter of the contract may be seemingly trivial (a dress code at a private dining establishment), but the contract itself is far from trivial.********************
I could not agree more.

They were at a private club, and had signed a contract agreeing to meet the dresscode. All three were arrested for disturbing the peace. Aparently "having your pants below your waist" isn't a crime yet.

Great way to lose fights, but.

It is if the private business who owns the property has a dress code that all parties sign. Many officers work after duty jobs down here to make extra money.

I have my own story. We were done with a wedding reception in a downtown Oklahoma suburb, walked back to our car....only to meet a pimply faced asshat with his thumbs in his brand new "Security Guard, Hotel" belt on his new clothes.
My friend asked politely, three times, "Where is my car"? Asshat stood there with a grin only a true moron could give. Things got heated, we would have to take a taxi 25 miles or so just to get back to our hotel. The pimply faced punk finally asked.."How would you like to go to JAIL"? My friend responded "How would you like to go to the F'ing Hospital,,,,,WHERE IS MY CAR?"
We had the location and phone number for the garage instantly. Funny how that works.

As of August 10, 2007 wearing your pants so that it exposes your underwear is a violation of public indecency laws in Lafourche Parish.

Indecency laws are difficult to prosecute on private property, which these gents apparently paid for....
To: yarddog
I think low riding pants are one of the stupidest things I have ever seen but it is not the laws business how a person wears their pants. If you aren't OK with public nudity, then you do think that its the law's business.

Government: It’s not intrusive until it’s in your pants.

“Beaucoup” is pretty much slang around here.
He probably knows not a lick of French.

I’m 28 and went to my cousin’s high school graduation. I wore a pair of slacks, button up long-sleeve shirt, and dress shoes.
I’d say half the people my age and under wore jeans, sneakers, and a clean T-shirt. People just don’t like to dress well anymore.
