Does this matter? It still seems like a good idea. How are you supposed to identify someone if they commit a crime?

In fact, their wellbeing (along with everyone else's) is exactly why you would be trying to stop crime in the first place. How are you supposed to identify someone if they commit a crime? They're wearing a fucking burka FFS, it's a pretty good way to identify a person. It's about as easy as it gets. Also, have you ever tried to run from the cops in one of those things?
