[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

I agree with everyone who is saying it's unattractive and sometimes makes me wonder how people can walk around like that if they wear no belt and BOTH hands are above the waist. It's ridiculous to make it illegal though and to have a $200 fine because it's a style people don't like. People may also not like mohawks, boys in very thin jeans or girls wearing men's sport shorts. One can make the argument that all of these are bad for tourism, degrade society and are unattractive but it's not grounds for making illegal along with a fine.

Aside from the stupidity and narrow-mindedness of this law, are police really going to stop someone, inspect if their shorts are too baggy and write them up a $200 fine? Even for, say a 14-year old minding their own business? The only way the kid can wear legal shorts is to get rid of his current baggy ones or gain weight and height. It's ridiculous: the kid currently cant wear them because they're too baggy but in a year or two, he can because they're not baggy anymore.

Perhaps a smarter solution would be to show them how to wear the pants or get a store clerk to give them proper fitting ones with a belt. Whenever I see people wearing such pants, they're always pulling their pants up in some way often by grabbing at their crotch area or walking differently.
