Yeah, ok, good luck enforcing that

GluWu ,

They will, they will make hundreds, maybe thousands of arrests knowing full well its unconstitutional. But it'll take a year or two to work through courts at which point the courts will be completely controlled by Project 2025 magats.

Disagree. Even if this goes through, it reads more like a liability waiver: it's power is more in the chilling effect vs. actual teeth in enforcement

Does that apply to Proud Boys? Let's unmask these filthy vermin.

"to wear a mask for health reasons", it says.

So I guess it doesn't apply to those idiots because they don't believe in those health reasons and hide their faces because they're pussies who are afraid of being identified as the pathetic nazi fucks they are.

We can always make it hazardous to one's health to be a Nazi fuck...

I support this proposition.

seth ,

Someone will just have to start a religion where masking in public is one of the purity rites for the devout. Better yet, join their religion first and schism another denomination off it due to the doctrinal demand for the ritual mask of purity. Then, they'll have to acknowledge its "legitimacy."

sebinspace ,

Oh you sweet summer child, freedom of religion is only for christians

HawlSera ,

Then make a branch of Christianity that involves mask wearing

notfromhere ,

It’s called the KKK

HawlSera ,

The KKK actually persecuted many branches of Christianity including Catholicism and Mormonism, and burned down black churches.

good thing they forgot to ban them for security reasons...

Good thing they won't ban that.

I thought that said NYC at first and was confused as it's blue, but now it makes sense

shininghero ,

Yes, shoot me for wearing an anti-allergy mask officer. I'm begging you.
I will live like a king siphoning off your retirement pension if you shoot me for keeping pollen out of my nose.

OhNoMoreLemmy ,

Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can't sue them for shit.

Sabata11792 ,

You know damn well police face no real consequences for their actions.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Oh, you sweet summer child.

Cops can murder people in cold blood, on camera, and suffer absolutely no consequences.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

No, you're wrong.

They get a 2 week paid vacation. If they play their cards right, they can say they got PTSD and get to retire early with a pension and start over in another jurisdiction.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Don't forget getting to keep the murder weapon despite having "PTSD" from murdering a guy.

pyre ,

even if somehow you get past qualified immunity, cops don't pay shit. it comes out of your (and your fellow citizens') taxes.

ReiRose ,

I would love to get a mask made that read "I have tuberculosis".

I'd imagine this is more about making sure facial recognition works. Can't Big Brother if they plebs are covering their faces.

Hopefully this doesn't spread. My partner already has a difficult time going into public because she's highly allergic to a very common ingredient that's in practically everything.

notfromhere ,

Is it sugar?

KroninJ ,
@KroninJ@lemmy.world avatar

It's a fruit. They have an anaphylactic reaction when coming in contact with it or breathing in the fumes from products.

With what legal explanation? Cruel attack on nature by not dying?

Allero ,

Trying to hide while doing criminal activity

Fedizen ,

pretty sure the police are still going to be wearing helmets when they commit crimes, this is about speech and anonimity

Allero ,

Sure thing; I just tell the justification they give

fidodo ,

Most of the people I see that wear masks are old ladies trying to avoid getting sick. How fucking pathetic do they have to be to be so afraid of the world that they want to ban immune compromised people from wearing a mask?

Allero ,

Would this include airplanes flying into NC? Like, if I have a layover in Charlotte and I'm only gonna be at the airport a few hours, I can't wear a mask on the plane to Charlotte, or at the Charlotte airport? I know planes are owned by the airlines so they're not "public", but what about inside an airport?

RandomStickman ,
@RandomStickman@kbin.run avatar

I can only speak from an international perspective but I've taken a plane from Canada through USA a few years ago. During that time Canada had a mask mandate so all of us have to keep our mask on from the airport all the way to boarding. However, once the cabin door closes, apparently, that's when American law kicks in. The mask mandate is lifted according to US law. Maybe US state laws work similarly?

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

This is more about arresting protestors

Alpha71 ,

This is why I welcome the coming global ecological apocalypse. We deserve it.

wildcardology ,

Don't include my country in this, it's shitty but not as shitty as yours.

Alpha71 ,

You may think that, but trust me, you're wrong.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Sounds like something someone from the shittiest country on earth would assume

Alpha71 ,

Canada?

Allero ,

We don't. They do. But climate is one for us all, so let's go and beat the shit out of them.

More evidence of nihilistic government. Can em ban em afghanistan em

I hope one of the local government members gets a major sickness like COVID because someone with it comes up to them unmasked and sneezes on them. Then their Republicans might learn a lesson so long as it was one of them getting sneezed on. Though, I doubt it.

Doubt it. Would be a repeat of when Trump got COVID, where he kept saying it was nothing while getting massive medical help to recover from it.
