A real lede from a real, metropolitan daily newspaper: ‘Flint residents now have to watch their butts because Police Chief David Dicks is on the lookout.’

Flint police are issuing warnings to people ‘wearing saggy pants that expose skivvies, boxer shorts or bare bottoms.’ The half-assed charge is indecent exposure or disorderly conduct. Greg Gibbs of the American Civil Liberties Union says that the police’s actions may be unconstitutional and have dire consequences for civil liberties. ‘Because sagging is a crime, it presents probable cause for police to search saggers.’
