OKLAHOMA (CNN) — It could soon be illegal for people in Oklahoma to wear clothing that covers their faces, including hooded sweatshirts.

It’s already illegal to wear such clothing during the commission of a crime, but a Republican State Senator has introduced an amendment to ban people from hiding their identity in public in general.

From the article, the bill at least provides exemptions for religious, medical and weather-related uses of face coverings.

Really? There's nothing more important to be done than to ban "hoodies? Atleast Geraldo Rivera will be happy ......

In short, it could be 120F out and you can wear your hoodie and simply tell any cops you're doing it because you're cold. Or it could be one of those new moisture-wicking doo-rags that you wet as a sort of personal swamp cooler.

*sigh*, and I want FEWER useless laws on the books. Tell him he can have it when it also arranges to repeal three other useless laws.

I bought an Erlenmeyer flask from Amazon last week. They said it was illegal to ship to Texas without a "Precursor Chemical Laboratory Apparatus NAR-120" permit.

This actually was brought up at my COC, http://okcoc.com/, yesterday. The biker community has been fighting stupid laws like this for awhile now. Same two clowns that are bringing this forward tried to get a law passed awhile ago stating that if 3 or more people were together and dressed similar it could constitute a gang.

It didn't go anywhere and I don't see this one going anywhere either, but I will be writing my state Senator and Representatives to vote against this stupidity.

I'm in favor of it as long as there's no police exemption.

It died because of the broad stroke that could be used to paint people as a gang, too many things to consider.

Indeed. Mormons could be considered a gang by that definition.

Me, my brother, and our dad could be as well. :(

As can church-goers, many ethnic minorities(Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, etc...) with a dress requirement, etc...

Crime is dropping people, we don't need to keep ratcheting down on the stupidity.

Private schools, the Texas Aggie corp of cadets (or *any* ROTC group, for that matter)... basically anyone following a dress code.

I remember Cali trying something similar to the "gang" thing a number of years ago

Is VERY similar to the idiocy in Australia right now

Spoilsport. I want to see the constables (all dressed alike) trying to arrest the sheriff's deputies (all dressed alike) while they're trying to arrest the local PD (all dressed alike) and the state troopers (all dressed alike) trying to round everybody else up, while the National Guard (all dressed alike) tries to decide who to help.

Can they all wear swat team balaclavas while doing so?

Further, with a law that makes face coverings illegal, can we assume that the armed masked men breaking down the neighbor's front door are a criminal gang (maybe MS-13??!!), and that we should come to the neighbor's aid- with all of the lethal force necessary?

Article is retarded. Current law: can't wear a hoodie while committing a crime. Proposed law: can't wear a hoodie if the cops think you're trying to conceal your identity with it. Article: herp derp that's the same thing durr.

Was there an exception for Halloween?

Heavy use of face paint can nearly have the same effect.

I had those flasks when I was a kid - they came with my chemistry set.

BTW, little ziploc baggies are restricted in Chicago - they're used to package crack.

And then there are coffee cans . . .

Not exactly lil zip loc baggies . Or at least not baggies you put anything other than crack meth or high dollar smoke in.
There was a liquor store used to sell hundreds of tiny cups of boiling hot water to the junkies every nite in dc . 50 cents for 2 ounces of boiling water

What do they do with the boiling water? Probably not instant espresso
