The Law
State law prohibits individuals from wearing masks, hoods, or disguises on public streets with the intent to conceal their identity. Originally enacted in the 1920s and 30s to combat the Ku Klux Klan and organized crime, the law allows exceptions for holidays like Halloween and theatrical productions. However, wearing a ski mask to anonymously protest or cause trouble can result in arrest.
