Crime of fashion

As long as there has been fashion, there have been violations against the what to wear standards.
Off the top of my head, I can think of 10 no-nos just involving socks. White socks with dress slacks, socks with sandals, ankle socks with pants. I could keep going but I think you see what I mean.
But can you imagine being issued a citation for a crime against fashion?
Consider having to appear in court for wearing white pants after Labor Day or having a police officer write you a ticket for sporting pants that were just a bit too short.
It sounds ridiculous, right?
Well, pull up your baggy pants Dallas, because one school board member is fed up with the sight of Fruit of the Looms and Spongebob boxers peek-a-booing from waistlines.
Ron Prince took his complaint before the City Council saying he thinks "it's disrespectful, it's dishonorable and it's disgusting."
I don't want to see the dungaroos anymore than Prince, but should police attention really be diverted to fashion instead of crime?
In a society where homicide rates increase each year, it seems we've got bigger fish to fry than baggy britches.
