I'm thinking back, and I heard it most often while working a gang-infested part of Portland in the '90s.
And I'm not talking about pulling over four $#!+birds cruising a neighborhood they don't belong in at three in the morning, nobody wants to claim the bag sitting in between them all, and so everyone in the car gets arrested for the contents- I'm specifically talking about patting someone down, finding dope, and then having them immediately default to the "These aren't my pants!" defense.
Do offenders still make a habit of doing that? Is it only in certain parts of the country? Is it only in certain parts of town?
It always struck me as hilarious, as if we're supposed to believe that someone snuck up on them while they weren't looking, and put pants containing dope on them without their knowledge.
