Sorry, I can’t fully support this ban. Ban the use of face covering before the law (government issued ID, interaction with the police or courts, etc) I support. But a citizen has the right to protect their privacy and with the wide use of cameras, facial masks / coverings have a purpose and a use.

It's a good thing that we are all entitled to our opinion even though we may not agree as to why.

I do support the ban, and am curious as to why anyone would not.

Specifically, your opinion that "facial masks / coverings have a purpose and a use. is non-sensical without examples aside from the obvious : protection from inclement weather or freezing conditions; being bundled in a hoodie when the temperature is in the 90s can only be a warning of criminal intent.

There are exceptions, of course... unusual medical conditions which are the usual red herrings dragged out by bad people with bad intentions, and I can safely dismiss those as suspect.

I can't think of any purpose or use for concealing your identity for some reason.
Can you elaborate on that? What am I missing?
