Long Island bill could mean jail time, $1,000 fines for face masks that hide identity
A county on Long Island could become one of the first legislative bodies in the tri-state to ban face masks that conceal the wearer’s identity — with violators facing potential fines and even jail time.
There are exemptions from the law, such as those wearing masks for health or religious reasons. But who gets to decide how to enforce that distinction? The legislature's top Republican insisted police will be able to identify the difference.
Ah, the old "I know it's a medical condition when I see it" policy that we've come to rely on police to assess.
The thing for someone like me who is immunocrompromised is. I need to wear a mask because I have a medical condition.
But also my immediate family and anyone interacting with me needs to wear a mask when in public. Covid is a death sentence for me. So this law doesn’t cover that.
Oof and Nassau and Suffolk County PDs are terrible. Suffolk cops are the ones that burst into laughter when TFG addressed them and said (paraphrased) "Why do you care so much when putting someone in the back of your police car, protecting their head? Maybe next time don't worry about it."
Oh I have no doubt they'll pull masks off of anyone they feel like. They'll probably use this as an excuse to pull a transparent oxygen mask from a senior citizen because it "hides their identity."
Yeah... My home county. Trump land, rich & very poor people, but aggressive assholes none the less absolutely everywhere. Home of the $500k burned down shack masquerading as a "starter home."
I need to leave so badly...
Does that mean as a Satanist, that the bodily autonomy tenet includes masking to avoid airborne illnesses, even if I am at a protest against the march of fascism?
So are they saying covid masks are fine since it's for health reasons but face coverings are not fine? Also, do religious reasons only apply to women covering their faces? The Satanic Church allows me to do whatever I want.
Well that's obviously bullshit
