All of the proposals in Louisiana have been struck down and repealed due to their unconstitutional nature. While I personally can't stand to see "bagging and sagging", and I understand that somewhere you have to draw the line for decency, I still have problems with someone imposing their opinions on how I should dress. I know that in many places, there are people who don't believe women should be allowed to wear pants or slacks or jeans or whatever you want to call 'em, and I sure don't want someone like that determining how I should dress!
We are facing similar attacks on the Constitution's Fourth Ammendment here, with the laws now aimed at stopping dogfighting, and every politician aiming to cash in on the Michael Vick case. One local politician wants to limit the number of "pit bulls"(meaning any short-haired muscular dog, regardless of breed), and require random property searches by law enforcement of any person who is known to have at least one "pit bull"-no warrant, no probably cause, anytime day or night, whether the property owner is home or not. Federal bills on the agenda would allow law enforcement to stop ANY person believed to be transporting a dog or dogs, so that their vehicle can be searched for evidence of "dogfighting", and a bill sponsored by John Kerry and Barbara Boxer would permit ANYONE who is caught transporting a "pit bull" across state lines to be arrested, and all their property seized, since merely having a dog of that type is seen as evidence that you are fighting dogs!
