(TIME) Making people pay for their distasteful sartorial choices? that's one way for a town to generate income. Albany, Ga., for one, has collected nearly $4,000 since it started fining people for wearing their pants too low.
The ordinance, enacted in November, prohibits people from wearing skirts or pants that hang 3 in. below the top of the hips and expose skin or underwear.
First-time offenders have to pay $25. Subsequent violations will cost $200, or 40 hours of community service. A similar ban has been enacted in cities around the country, and other Georgia town are considering it as well.
