busted for saggy pants

This seems like another abuse of authority. University of New Mexico football player Deshon Marman boarded an airplane with saggy pants that exposed his underwear. HERE.

Rude and tacky, perhaps. But there’s apparently no dress code forbidding it, and they did let him on the plane, after all. Then this:

“Wunder referred questions about details of the incident to police but said it is her understanding that the incident began with Marman’s attire but escalated when ‘he repeatedly ignored crewmember instructions.'”

A good defense lawyer ought to be able to eat this up. You shouldn’t let him on the plane and then hassle him into a non-crime.

In fact, if I were a professional defense attorney I would go out of my way to attack these sorts of petty little abuses of power.
