10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It makes exceptions for undercover agents, medical masks such as N95 respirators or tactical gear. It doesn’t apply to state police.
So then they just call it tactical gear
Yeah, this sounds pretty toothless.
.............or they won't qualify under the law. How about seeing literally any language first, before bitching like fucking stereotypical progressives?
So exceptions for basically everyone that shouldn't be, typical
Well, it's hard to strike the right balance.
Obviously an undercover officer posing as a car painter in a longitudinal sting can't really say "I'm not allowed to wear that mask".
Although, he could pretend he was MAGA and an anti-masker.
In any case, some reasonable exceptions are warranted. Tactical gear isn't one of them.
And we all know what "reasonable" means to MAGA.
The new law prohibits neck gators, ski masks and other facial coverings for local and federal officers, including immigration enforcement agents, while they conduct official business.
So unless they have tactical gas masks on, I would say this is definitely good progress.
so this is basically useless bullshit.
Performatve bullshit
he does a lot of that
bet a bunch of these were the “I can’t breath” folk with medical face masks
suddenly ICE raids drop by %50 in California
Monkey Paw: They send in the tanks, don't even need a mask.
On July 4, 2026, in Lafayette Square, D.C., nothing happened.
*50%
*50 %
How is this going to be enforced? If the cops are not standing there arresting face covered ICE agents then this means nothingh.
If it is well known that it is illegal for law enforcement officers to wear masks, and there is an armed man wearing a mask who is threatening a group of people, it would be reasonable to assume they are not a law enforcement officer and a shooting could be justified in self-defense.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
Well I think that's basically the goal.
What is? Not being enforceable, or standing at ICE raids and arresting them?
Demanding ice agents remove masks and arresting them if they fail to comply.
The way I see it is if some fuck is wearing a mask and trying to arrest me, that's not a cop, that's a kidnapper and I'm not sticking around or I'm fighting back with lethal force.
Cops don't wear masks criminals do.
To think 5 years ago you couldn't get these fucks to put a mask on., now they're "in danger".
Stop breaking the law asshole.gif
Would put officers in danger not having masks on?
I would think that if the general public wants to stop or dissuade them from executing these orders that perhaps its the laws that are wrong? If society at large disagrees with the current law of the land, then who is these law benefiting or protecting? The fragile & scared.
You were right the first time; They’re not laws, they’re orders and statements that are all illegal.
Homeland Security officials can stick their "despicable" into their bum hole. They are evil jackasses, and have no right to oppose people wanting due process from their nation.
I think California police should just take a flight over the HLS Chief's home, put him in cuffs, and press charges. It would be no less illegal than what he's allowed to happen, and possibly that fucking Despicable statement.
