Lawmakers in New York's Nassau County approved a bill banning masks in public spaces, saying the move will help fight crime during protests.
The measure, which passed earlier this week and was headed to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman's desk to sign, makes wearing a mask and concealing identity a misdemeanor that is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, ABC News reported.
Proponents for the bill in the suburban Long Island county say the measure was necessary after the protests in connection with the Israel-Hamas war.

Rock on, Nassau!
Gonna put a crimp in BLM and those Palestinian supporters style.
Last year’s mandatory is this year’s crime..
Before Covid wearing masks in public was illegal almost everywhere at all times. Even Halloween. But even if it wasn’t allowed by local ordinances law enforcement made allowances or didn’t enforce it.
I strongly disagree with this. It is no longer safe to peaceably protest. Government cameras are always watching and recording and with facial recognition the right to peaceably protest and to redress grievances will result in government retaliation and doxxing.
We are governed by morons and crooks.
