I don't see why this is so over the top for everyone. O.o. It's been a law here for at least a year. Not even really a law. But you can be fined if you "shag", meaning your pants are purposefully below the hips. It's really low though, and I haven't heard of anyone being fined yet. Plus, I doubt the police will stop anyone in Dublin. It's probably meant as more of a scare tactic, to make people wear belts. It won't work. xD People will shag if they want to shag.
