DUBLIN, Ga. (AP) -- City leaders in Dublin could soon fine people if their sagging pants or skirts expose their underpants.
Dublin Mayor Phil Best told WMAZ-TV that he plans to sign an ordinance Tuesday that would fine violators $25 for a first offense and $200 for an additional offense.
The rule passed this week by the city council prohibits people from wearing pants or skirts more than three inches below the tops of the hips and exposing any skin or underwear below.
Best said the rule promotes mutual respect. He said not everyone wants to see other people's underwear.
The rule has its critics. Richard Moore said he doesn't like baggy pants. But he said people have a right to dress the way they want.
