New Jersey has no love for saggy pants, especially after the mayor of Wildwood proposed a ban on droopy drawers in an attempt to raise standards.

Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. is rallying behind the ban in hopes that he can lessen the amount of "rear ends sticking out" along his city's boardwalk, reports ABC News.

Wildwood isn't the only city trying to bring order to a beltless world, and other cities have already successfully implemented saggy pants laws.

To the dismay of every urban damsel, a parking meter "Robin Hood" group is being sued for harassing parking enforcement officers.

Garret Ean and his band of merry men call themselves "Robin Hood of Keene," as in Keene, New Hampshire. They walk the streets and feed parking meters about to expire, WMUR-TV reports.

A far cry from Sherwood Forest, the city of Keene is accusing the group of harassing Meter Maid Marians and interfering with their work.

Are you a teenager who reads news online? In the eyes of the Justice Department, you may technically be a criminal.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) under both the Bush and Obama administrations have interpreted the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act very broadly. So broadly, in fact, that it can be considered a crime for many kids to access news websites, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Arizona's shutdown of a "fish pedicure" spa was lawful, and did not violate the spa owner's constitutional rights, an Arizona court has ruled.

But exactly what are "fish pedicures"? And why did the Arizona Board of Cosmetology find it too fishy for a nail salon in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert?

Just ask Cindy Vong, the manager of La Vie Nails & Spa. Her salon offered a service called "Spa Fish" that would allow tiny fish to nibble off the dead skin on people's feet.

If you needed more proof that Long Island, New York, doesn't want people to have any fun, look no further than the man who was ticketed for laughing too loud.

Robert Schiavelli was charged twice with "disturbing the peace" after his neighbor complained about him laughing loudly. The neighbor said the laughter, which came from Schiavelli's own home, could be heard across the driveway.

It's true that the law requires people to act respectfully towards neighbors and keep noise down most of the time. But does that really forbid laughter?

A dog reportedly shot its owner in a strange tale out of Florida. The dog may have taken riding shotgun too literally when it set off a loaded gun that Gregory Dale Lanier was transporting in his car.

As the two drove, the dog accidentally kicked the gun, firing a bullet into Lanier's leg. The gun owner says that he thought the weapon was not loaded at the time, reports Yahoo! News.

Florida police took the time to report that they "did not arrest the dog." But can the same be said for the gun owner?

Snake-handling pastor Gregory Coots had his snakes confiscated by Tennessee wildlife agents. But he's praying he'll get them back for his Sunday services.

Unfortunately for him and his congregation, it doesn't seem like that's ssssso likely at this point.

Coots is a pastor in Middlesboro, Kentucky, known for using snakes in church services. He was driving through Tennessee on his way home from Alabama, where he'd just purchased five snakes.

Police pulled Coots over for having illegally tinted windows. But when they saw the snakes, it created a whole new problem.

After 17,000 lewd phone calls, the law has finally caught up with Robert Glass. The women of Pennsylvania will now be safe from harassing phone calls, at least from this guy.

Glass, a 51-year old resident of Myerstown, Pennsylvania, was arraigned last week and charged with multiple counts of harassment and stalking. So far at least 30 women have been identified as victims of unwanted phone calls from Glass.

Silly prank calls are one thing, but Glass did more than just ask if the refrigerator was running. He took things way too far when he picked up the phone.

It appears that the fight over whether corporations are people has temporarily left the courtroom and moved to the carpool lane.

Jonathan Frieman was driving in San Rafael, California, in October, when he got a ticket for driving in the carpool lane. The officer stopped him because he only saw one person in the car, but Frieman claims there were technically two people in his vehicle at the time.

Frieman's definition of who was in the car with him is a little unorthodox. In fact, he's been trying to get pulled over for the last 10 years just to make his point.
