And if by arrest, you mean jail (not a ticket) we're also talking about a royal waste of time and money.

I see people in jail for a traffic violation or shite like this - ridiculous.





According to the article, the penalty for breaking this law is between 6 months and 3 years in jail.

What's funny is the last time I passed through Louisiana, which was a few years ago, I looked like this the whole way through...



Guess I'm an outlaw now.

Some examples of what people are being arrested over...

I read the article quickly and didn't see any info confirming the type of masks the offenders were arrested for wearing. Additionally, it appeared they had only confirmed 1 arrest, and that was made incidental to a traffic stop for a separate violation. Did I get that right?

It has been reported to the MPP that 17 motorcyclists in the area have recently been arrested for wearing bandanas, scarves, and even a bubble shield while riding because it conceals their identities in public


I suppose it's possible they're lying. But before making such an accusation I'd like to see something to back it the claim of them lying.

They even called them rumors in the article and only spoke to one club member who was mad about his run ins with the law. It may be legitimate, but it could be a butthurt outlaw complaining to an online motorcyclist club newsletter or whatever this is.

It really isn't persuasive one way or the other and more info is needed.

which is clearly the intent of the law


I read an article a few months ago that said Mardi Gras Day is technically the only time someone can legally wear a mask in public in LA.

So is wearing a helmet? I mean they can't arrest you for following the law- right?

Technically you can wear a helmet and not have your face concealed at the same time.

I would vote not guilty on their criminal trial for retaliation against everyone involved in the initial arrest and prosecution.........

So we should be arresting some of the SJWs protesting the non-verdict in the Alton Sterling case.....

One could argue that it would be under the law, but I bet that argument would fail in front of a judge (and probably to the DA before it ever got close to court).
