Stockbridge is the latest city in the metro Atlanta area to consider bagging saggy pants, Channel 2 Action News reports.

The Henry County city would join its neighbors of Jonesboro and Hampton in banning low-riding trousers if it approves the ban.

A proposed ordinance would prohibit people from wearing clothes more than three inches below their hips, causing their underwear to be exposed.

Earlier this summer, Jonesboro enacted an ordinance that threatens violators with disorderly conduct charges. Hampton’s enforcement plan calls for warnings to first offenders and fines of $50 to $200 for future violations.
