Ellis Drummond, 18, was facing a ban on ”wearing trousers so low beneath the waistline that members of the public are able to see his underwear”.
The Crown Prosecution Service were also hoping to ban the youngster from wearing any hooded clothing ”with the hood up” in public.
But the proposals were withdrawn after discussions with Drummond’s defence solicitor ahead of his appearance before Bedford Magistrates’ Court on April 27.
During the hearing District Judge Nicholas Leigh-Smith confirmed prosecutors would have ”failed” to convince him the low trouser ban was necessary. He said: ”Some of the requirements proposed struck me as contrary to the Human Rights Act.”
Instead Drummond, of Rushden, Northants., received a four-year ASBO prohibiting him from using threatening behaviour, begging, or entering the grounds of Bedford College.

Though it's a fairly poorly written article, http://www.marquistimes.com/opinion.iagrc20100803.html comments that low-slung trousers were a prison thing advertising the desire for anal sex.
I just laugh at those people. It's funny when people don't realize how stupid they look.
I'd like to see his reaction if one of them leaned over right in front of him. I can tell you from experience, it's really disgusting!
Hey kid...your trousers are falling down.
