California Passes Law Banning ICE Officers From Wearing Masks

California's legislature has passed a bill that bans federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty, with criminal penalties for noncompliance.

The bill, SB-627, bans any law enforcement officer or agent from wearing a "facial covering that conceals or obscures their facial identity in the performance of their duties," with exceptions for motorcycle helmets and SWAT officers, along with N-95 masks for COVID-19.

Assuming it's signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), violators could face either a fine or charged with a misdemeanor.

The bill also strips law enforcement officers from qualified immunity for officer and agents who commit "assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, abuse of process, or malicious prosecution" while wearing a mask, and could face a fine up to $10,000.

They must have gotten the idea from judges who think they can tell the supreme court what they will do.  I don't think states can order any federal agencies to do anything.

BUT ... they would never consider banning PROTESTERS (violent rioters and looters) from wearing masks.
These people are so absolutely anti-America/anti-'Rule of Law' that it is becoming silly at this point.
They are not 'making Laws'. They are forcing absurd 'totalitarian edicts' on the people of California.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Who is going to enforce that "law"?

Not a chance in hell this will affect any federal officer doing his job.

Another feel good symbolism to support Antifa further.

Just say they felt Covid symptoms, and didn't want to spread anything.

California itself said it would be irresponsible to NOT wear masks when Covid is still around, right?

What about the black bloc crowd and the ANTIFAs, and such? Do they get to continue to hide behind masks?

How about if tear gas is deployed?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
