Take it off.

Take it off.

Now.

New law.

You have to show your faces.

It's not safe.

Doesn't matter, it's the law.

No masks, no secret police.

The No Secret Police Act makes it illegal for law enforcement in California to hide their identities.

For civilians, it means transparency and accountability.

For officers, it means risk of exposure to targeted violence, leaving many conflicted on this new law.
