    My concern is the application of it. They could see three people in a crowd wearing masks who are legitimately needing to wear a mask and then arrest them saying the crowd was an impromptu protest or illegal gathering and they can then apply that new law to them.

      Sure. Wording and implementing a law, applying it, and the original (pretended) idea of what it’s going to solve are two things. But if you can slip into an illegal gathering by accident, we have yet another problem and those laws aren’t well-defined. I mean that’s caprice. And we’re supposed to live in a democracy, not depotism. So it’s wrong either way.
