#1 Under the policy, a suspect wearing such a covering would be asked whether it would be OK to remove the garment. If the person declined, officers would ask a series of questions to determine whether the covering was being worn for genuine religious reasons. If that is the case, the suspect would be allowed to continue wearing the covering. Mutchler said the booking photos would show the suspect as he or she appears in public

I belong to the Holy Order of Gas Sations and Convenience Stores. My religion dictates that I wear a ballaclava or ski mask at all times - especially when preying. Our priests wear full Richard Nixon masks. It is our understanding that we are able to refuse to remove our Holy Masks when arrested, arraigned, booked or serving time. The Nixon mask, in particular, looks just smashing on an ID photo.

We swap masks in the yard at excercise time. Not one of the fools for guards has any idea who we are or what we look like. Well, except for Mr. Nixon, of course.

#2 This policy will last 10 minutes. No cop in his right mind deals with a suspect wearing a mask, even if they are Batman.

#3 Can the policy be expanded to jailing anyone who wears hijab?

#4 Maybe it is something that should be allowed only on the condition that they hang themselves with their hijabs.
