FLINT, Mich. -- Flint police are warning city residents to pull up their pants – literally.
On Thursday, Flint police chief David Dicks released a memo that Flint will be the latest city to campaign against pants that slip below waistlines. Anyone wearing pants or shorts that expose their buttocks can be arrested for indecent exposure, according to the memo.
According to Dicks, those who reveal their underwear and dress in this manner as a form of "self expression" are no longer practicing free speech.
“How are you going to get arrested for something you wear?” said one Flint resident.
The memo states that sagging pants will now rise to the crime of indecent exposure and or disorderly persons.
Experts and other cities have said the "bare your britches look" reflects laziness and encourages gang activities.
