2. Is the three inches measured vertically or horizontally?
3. Will plumbers be fined for showing cleavage over thee inches?
No brains at all, some of them. Just some grey fluff blown in by accident.
I’m thinking they have turned a wish and a cultural norm into what will be listed in the future as a “stupid law, such as “you can’t tie your giraffe to a parking meter” and “no walking your pet alligator on city sidewalks”.
The mayor is a man ‘of color’ ...
it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

Poopy Pants ! ....looks like they are carrying around a load in their britches.
The problem with a law such as this is its one-size-fits-all nature. In reality, attractive people should be permitted to go naked if they wish, while ugly ones should have to wear burkas.
is that 3” exposed?
90% of the time these guys also wear shirts that are about knee length.
I would think not sagging would be a matter of practicality. It’s much harder to run from the police with your pants down around your knees.
This is so stupid. Do these idiots really have nothing better to do than to come up with crap like this?
Remember when this used to be a free country?
Really? Then the ACLU should send an official observer out to the New Jersey suburbs to see thousands of slackjawed white teens walking around with the top half of their boxers on display.
The ordinance is as stupid as the practice it’s trying to regulate. Hemlines, necklines, and lengths of pants and sleeves have always fluctuated. It was only a matter of time before someone did this with pants—they got close with hip-huggers of the 60’s. No one complains about breast cleavage. And here there is no buttock cleavage showing. It would be equivalent to someone wearing a very low cut halter top with a t-shirt underneath. The biggest problem with this “style” is how stupid it looks, just like a “grill” for the teeth or two big fake diamond earrings on guys. Once you have a bunch of white college students doing it, it will fall out of fashion. In the meantime, there should be no laws passed, just a lot of people pointing fingers and laughing their butts off over it.
The law doesn’t mention any race. The ACLU is racist for saying that only one race walks around this way.
The problem here is the social welfare state. I think most of the people who wear their pants like that are unemployeed. I do not know of any employers who would let employees dress like that. I do not what schools allow, but the schools are within their bounds to institute dress codes. The problem does reflect poorly on the individuals but it also reflects on society, where we have healthy young unemployeed men living well without gainful employment and unaffected by the dress codes applied in the working world.
In high school, girls were always showing their underwear. Only those chosen by the offender were allowed to hold the measuring tape. The offended were just happy to look.
Bummer!!
This is going to put a LOT of plumbers out of work!!
