California lawmakers seek mask ban for law enforcement

June 17, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Amid anger over deportations in California, two California lawmakers announced plans to create a mask ban bill to prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings when interacting with the public.

State Sens. Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguin, who represent San Francisco and Oakland, said their bill would also require officers to display identifying information on their uniforms. Officers would be permitted to wear medical mask during certain disasters such as wildfires.

“We do not need secret police in California,” Wiener said a news conference. He then accused law enforcement of “grabbing” people and “throwing them into vans and disappearing them.”

While the proposed bill appears to target federal law enforcement, it is questionable if state’s can regulate what federal agents wear when working.

How about a law requiring politicians to wear patches, like a race cars, so we know who is “sponsoring” every politician.

Maybe they are being Covid sensitive. Hey California, first you mandate masks even for fools driving alone in their own cars, now you want to ban them. Make up your minds morons.

There was a mandate for people driving alone in their own cars? I must have missed that. Do you have a link to that mandate?

Scott Weiner? That San Francisco pervert? He should stick to what he knows. Oh, never mind…….

You’re getting him mixed up with Anthony Weiner from New York. It was probably a mistake, but you should be more careful before making such gross accusations, it’s basic responsibility.

He also didn’t pay off a porn actress hush money.

All for show! The State has zero discretion with Federal employees. Fun to watch these characters fail time after time.

It’s outrageous these criminals-with-badges can cover their faces.

That is what happened in Minneapolis. A masked criminal with a badge had a manifesto with 25 people’s names.
