"This is the 'crack' bill, and I think any respectable citizen would be against crack."
- Tennessee Rep. Joe Town (D, Memphis)
No this is not a drug bill. It's a droopy drawers bill, the retarded bill that just won't die.
In case you don't know this bill allows cops to write tickets if they can observe your underwear because your pants are being worn too low. Because in this economy, state government best serve the interests of their people by becoming fashion police. Sweet Jesus.
There are two bills in Tennessee, one Senate and one House. The House bill has made it out of subcommittee.
And why is it that so many of these bills are introduced by Democratic legislators? Aren't we supposed to be the party that is mindful of the First Amendment and skeptical of legislating morality?!?
