I'm not a lawyer but I believe that statute referring to "public property of any municipality or county of the state" is not meant to include private businesses.

["FLORIDA Chapter 876 Criminal Anarchy, Treason and other Crimes Against Public Order -------- 876.13 Wearing mask, hood, or other device on public property. --- No person or persons shall in this state, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter upon, or be, or appear upon or within the public property of any municipality or county of the state."]

But I believe the same right/law that allows private businesses to install and use surveillance cameras - the right/law of self protection - would allow a business to require a customer to not conceal their identity (with a masks or hoods).

Not doing business with someone concealing their identity in a mask or hood is a security, not religious, issue. She could always have a Muslim without a hood (male) accompany her to fill up her gas-tank for her.

I didn’t mean that the law applied to what took place at the gas station. However she was driving a car on public streets wearing her mask/hood, so why are the police in Florida afraid to enforce the law? I’ve also seen masked muslims go through homeland security checkpoints in Ft Lauderdale at the cruise port. Seems like very lax law enforcement.
