Haaaaaaaa,,,,,,The (Il)logic Behind the Attempted Face-Shield, Part II: The Perp Mask I have been thinking about one of the comments posted about the first Face-Shield post:
"Some newspapers or tv stations may choose not to run the picture if there's no identifiable person in it. If it does run, people who happen to glance on the page but aren't really interested won't recognize you. So if I'm ever arrested for any felony, the bag goes over my head."
That is a valid point (although the NY Times, for one, didn't seem to follow the no-identifiable-picture=no running the photo theory)--maybe the face-shield ultimately will spare you some exposure. But I still say that walking out of court with a huge mailing envelope or Manila folder or gym bag or whatever over your head is a safety risk.
And so I offer up this idea to you entrepreneurs out there: the Perp Mask. Defendants exiting court would simply don a Perp Mask of their choosing, covering up their identity but yet still permitting the defendant to see and breathe. For instance, any of these would do the job, while also letting the defendant make a "statement" of sorts based on the mask chosen:
For example, the Nixon mask makes the subliminal statement, "I am not a crook."
