The Indecent Exposure Rule in Action

Augusta has recently considered and decided against criminalizing visible drawers. Watch this video of an Aiken County deputy stopping, striking, and arresting someone walking around not properly styled. (The officer was fired.) It's a look at how arbitrary arrests can be. And do we really need identification to walk around our neighborhoods, as the deputy demanded? Do we need our papers with us at all times? My boolean search in the Aiken County codes didn't turn up anything about citizens needing to carry identification or anything about underpants showing. (I tried "indecent exposure," "indecent," "exposure," "dress," and "underpants.")
