California becomes first state to ban face coverings for most law enforcement
Hooray! Performative theatre!
Wait. What's wrong with banning law enforcement from wearing face coverings to hide their identity? This seems like a positive step.
Doesn't go into effect until summer 2026; has exceptions for various things, including "medical masks"; violation is a misdemeanor, which means a small fine.
It's good policy. It's just that the feds will ignore it, so it's of no use.
