BAN all face coverings in public without exception other than verified medical
To ban all face coverings in public without exception other than verified medical reasons.
To be made Illegal to conceal your identity in public and enforce removal of all face coverings including those claiming to be for religious reasons to ensure public safety and ability to identify criminals
Face coverings are being used to intimidate and to conceal identities of those with malicious/ criminal intent. They also render facial recognition useless. Face coverings including those being used for religious reason have no place in society and have become a means used to embolden criminal activity and has enabled criminality and intimidation to escalate with impunity. Streets are now unsafe and police are unable to identify perpetrators. They are even saying " no face no case"
