:shocked: That sure is a foolish over-reach... :gaah:
But I DO see a way out of it: their is a religious exemption...
Say that you're praying in the Church of the Open Road, and Freedom! :2thumbs:

Are burkas excluded from this mask law?

 

[Bob Denman]

Yes... nojoke

Likely miss-use of the law by law enforcement - to make a point.


The freedom that comes with having "the power of the pen" is often miss-used.

I don't think it's a stupid law. But stupid cops!

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree:... but only to the point where I call them "overzealous" :thumbup:

My thinking is that the reason is to call attention to a stupid law in order to get it changed.

Interesting. ...

suppose this would only apply to the full face with tinted shield...The law is alright but it should not apply to safety. That would mean they could go after welders, divers, construction workers etc....

Guess I will avoid LA for the time being. :thumbup::thumbup:

So if you are praying to the giant spyder god then you can wear a helmet

Well------ I like the bike in the link. I have a metallic black '98 with emerald green accents next to the Spyder.

Not having a fast bike in the garage causes me ::::::::::::::: Kaos

What a bunch of BS, just a way to pick your pocket. :banghead:

The LEO may have mis-applied the law but this article states that one of the reasons for it is to combat groups like the KKK.
