I have no problem with this arrest. I do not want a Muslim woman to be arrested for wearing a burqa. Anybody know anything about this law? Does it explicitly not cover women wearing burqas? Or are we just implicitly expecting "reasonableness" in how it's applied? (Or are we not even expecting reasonableness, and we all know it's going to be used against Muslim women soon enough?)

> The Nassau County law, the Mask Transparency Act, makes it a misdemeanor to wear a face covering in public for reasons other than health or religion. I suppose if the masker is masking as a fashion statement, or to carry a machete, that'd be bad. But if masking is a religious thing it'd be OK.
