Rejected petition Make face obscuring clothing illegal on protests

More details

After the rioting that has taken place, that started as peaceful protests, I believe that it should be made illegal for face obscuring clothing to be worn at protests, riots or any large gathering of people. This includes scarfs around the face and "hoodies". It should be made possible, that any body wearing such clothing at large gatherings of people, can be arrested on sight by the Police. Sign this petition if you agree that thugs should not be able to hide their daces.
