~40% of Americans live in states that have laws against wearing a mask in public spaces. Preventing people from protecting themselves is absolutely a live issue. http://www.anapsid.org/cnd/mcs/maskcodes.html

So maybe this is something that ACLU should take on. Actual civil liberty issue with states not protecting freedoms of people.
I can see the mask bans being useful to prevent crime. It’s hard to bring criminals to justice if their identities are hidden.
