Oklahoma State Senator Propose Bill To Ban Hoodies

A Republican state senator's proposal to make it illegal for people to conceal their identity in public is drawing criticism from people who say it could ban hoodies in Oklahoma. Don Barrington said he's targeting mask-wearing protesters out of concern for public safety and law enforcement. He said his intent isn't to ban hoodies. But critics say the proposal leaves too much discretion to law enforcement and could allow them to target certain people. The bill would make it illegal for someone to conceal his or her identity in public by using a "robe, mask, or other disguise." The language would amend a section of law originally targeting the Ku Klux Klan that already makes it illegal to wear masks or hoods to conceal one's identity during a crime or for the purpose of "coercion, intimidation or harassment.".
