Make it a criminal offence for anyone to cover their face in public places

Petition Details

Face covering is a security risk, It would help prevent the steep rise in violent crime, prevent anonymity in marauding gangs and facilitate identification. Exception can be made for safety helmets while driving, and face coverings authorised by a doctor for medical reasons.

Additional Information

In many Muslim countries women do not cover their faces. Security ID can be fooled by a face mask. This request is intended for the security of all including minorities.
