Sagging pants may get you a ticket in Thibodaux, La., if the city council approves a new proposal.

The council’s proposal will require offenders to pay $50 for a first violation, $100 for a second, and then $100 and 16 hours of community service for a third.

“I think it’s about doing the right thing. I think it’s about morality and about decency,” said Eugene Richard, the councilman leading the charge.

Richard emphasized that the ordinance was not based at targeting a specific race, saying that the fashion statement “crosses all demographics and all races.”

“You can walk down the street, you can see Asian, you can see Mexican, you can see white, and you can see black,” Richard said.

According to interviews from local news stations, a number of parents support the measure. The ban on drooping trousers was introduced earlier this week, and the council will vote on it early next month.
