    That makes this illegal

    You missed all the important stuff. This requires intent. It's designed to provide additional charges against masked rioters, discourage the Klan and allow the police to single out Black Block members when the whole protest is in technical violation of a law.

    Who defines intent? This is a slippery slope. I can piss off a snowflake by just being.

    I know what they mean but it can be abused.

    Do you have any idea how many criminal statutes rely on intent as an element?

    Law is often written in a back asward sort of way meaning you have to read till the end to get info that most ppl would have liked to have know at the beginning. Basically the law states that it's illegal for anyone over the age of 16 to conceal their identity when they have the intent to commit a crime.

    It would actually be a violation of freedom of speech and the right to privacy to prevent someone from wearing a mask without justifiable cause.

    This law already exists in Delaware. They use it to add "extra time" in sentencing. It's pretty meaningless since they let just about everyone out early. :sad20:
