American BATFE Enforces Federal Face Covering Guidelines

[BigTex]

Yes, he probably did look out of the ordinary, but the BATFE is supposed to deal with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, not oddly dressed people. They are tax agents, they shouldn't be walking around arresting people for what they view as 'not right' clothing (much less killing people on raids, but that's another story).


Anybody in a hat and sunglasses is hard to identify. And a gun can be concealed under pretty much anything.


Jogging.


He didn't see the officers at first.


And they had to get him on the ground and kneel on his neck to ascertain that he wasn't a threat.

They could have found out that he was harmless much, much more easily.

I'd really hate to point this out to you CR but generally those with alochol and firearms are oddly dressed and acting odd. A masked man sprinting across the campus somehow doesnt seem like they could be a burgler or something else worse, come on. Puting a knee to below the neck is a simple submissive possition that alows the officers to asertain whether or not he has something on him without puting him at risk. I guess criminals never dress in dark clothing that masks their identity in Canada, eh?

You tell those miscreant people who defy the federal dress code! Keep up the good fight against those who do not comply!

You do know why that law was written? The laws that forbid masks from covering the face was a very clever way to attempt to get rid of the KKK. Which worked quite well IMO, and completely got rid of their way to hide who they were.
