i think if this police chief lived in the UK half of south east london and old street would be arrested. god bless the american constitution for safeguarding guns at home and saggy pants, just a shame about all the other liberties they chose to ignore..


for those that can't be *arsed* to read the article this police chief, with the great name of david dicks, is stopping and searching kids with slow slung trousers in michigan and the usual great commotion has risen:


to quote the guardian direct "Your new practice of stopping and threatening young men with disorderly conduct for wearing 'saggy pants' is a blatant violation of the United States Constitution," the ACLU wrote to Dicks in a letter last week.


"Although you were recently appointed chief of the Flint police department, you cannot appoint yourself chief of the 'fashion police'. You have no power to criminalise a style of dress because you find it distasteful. We ask that you halt this practice immediately.""

we need to ask dicks if newfangled bottom cleavage counts, we should start writing to the guy and totally freak him out with peculiar british requests.


i also think retrograde arrests should be made of z list celebs with thongs out in the late 90's early 2000's, this could seriously help clear our newsagents of tat celeb mags.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
