Why not, though?

I personally think it sounds authoritarian (on paper or in practice). What merit do you see in it?

Edit: lol, if you'd care to discuss it that is...

Who thinks this stuff up? I'm mean did the folks in charge just sit around and say, "The biggest problem we are facing right now is people with lower incomes dressing nice"?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Oh, so you realize you were wrong and are hoping to bluster your way out of it. Don't bother, nobody cares.

It might be cause for suspicion, perhaps further investigation. 

However in the US, I think that the innocent until proven guilty is a good policy, and this seems to be the other way around.

Anyone know what the procedure is with this? Leave 'em naked on the street or confirm that they have legit sources or something in between? Little help?
