CANTON, Ohio -- A local lawmaker wants her Ohio city to use its law against indecent exposure to go after young people in low-riding pants.
Canton City Councilwoman Mary Cirelli says constituents have raised concerns about how the fashion trend leaves underwear and sometimes bare rear ends visible. The 70-year-old Democrat says that's rude, and she has sent a memo to the city's law director asking whether Canton's public indecency law would provide some coverage.
Joseph Martuccio says he'll take a look if time permits, though he says using the law to crack down on baggy britches may violate the wearer's constitutional rights.
Cirelli says she knows the city has more pressing matters. But she says she takes all constituent complaints seriously.
