The fine seems a little steep, but I have to say that the sight of someone's arse hanging out of their trousers is not pleasant, it is often, in fact, quite repulsive. However, an englishman's belly out for the sunshine and beer can be equally as repulsive, and I can hardly see a law passed against that.

Depends if they can fine you for it. Seems to be their answer to everything these days, trying to plug holes in the budget.

It would be in interesting situation if everyone who ever fined refused to pay until the sentence was severe enough to land them in prison.

The listed fine is a top end - chances are that'll never be applied.

I did a google search on the town. It looks like a right conservative midwestern 5hithole. Probably the town's 1 token freak went out wearing a pair of Criminal Damage baggies and the hypocritical dried-up housewives heading home to a life they detest from a church they no longer believe in saw him and spotted a chance to dictate to somebody now their spoiled brats have grown up and got the hell out of the town vowing to never come back again.

The whole trousers hanging low enough to show your boxers is just so passe anyway...
Worst thing about the good weather - you get a lot of explosed flesh and there's no quality control. EG - there's a woman who hangs around outside tesco's drinking a lot. She's fat and about 40 and wears an outfit that would have looked good 20 years and 5 stone ago - ripped tights, short skirt and a t-shirt that's almost a boob tube. It's really not an edifying sight.

I 'met' a guy in Asda who had a low-slung jeans problem, only they were filthy and he wasn't wearing underwear.
The image has burnt it's way into my memory and will be there for all time.
Maybe they should give them all bracers, that'd be funny.
