Can you see face of person in hoodie?
Identity is the issue.
The original answer was caveated with a reference to what's acceptable in British society. Not whether one can see someone's face. Identity is the issue.

Is that your view or have you put it to a vote? Have we voted on hoodies, my high heels? Etc etcAlpinestars said:

I would say people generally trust chavs in hoodies and balaclavas as much as they do those in full Muslim garb...
If it's about trust, I'd ban all scousers. Can't trust the fookers. I will never buy a car from Liverpool, Glasgow of Bradford.
I'm I prejudiced? Yeah I suppose I am.

If we're writing new legislation can we include perms and shell suits?
Mate that would require you to get a whole new wardrobe. Having featured in Esquire magazine, I'll treat you to some sartorial delights.

t like that on a public forum. In fact, you should be made to wear a burka for having such bad taste. Alpinestars said:

CCTV is not quite as adept at identifying an individual dressed top to toe as a black squashy pyramid.
Until you understand that identity is important - you won't grasp anything beyond this.

Must be a lot of CCTV out there with "black squashy pyramids" committing crime. And guess what ,we will know it is you.

How do you know?
I imagine few people grow up thinking "when I grow up I'll wear a cassock" but after some religious indoctrination a good number do, even though I think it looks outmoded in this day and age. Doesn't mean it should be outlawed though, does it?
If something doesn't harm others, adding laws to it is daft and intolerant. And if you do so selectively it is prejudiced. Uncomfortable as that may sound to you.
People covering their faces during everyday interaction does harm other people. This is not the way in which our culture operates or has ever operated. It places people who do not cover their face at an immediate disadvantage when interacting as they have no facial body language to react to.I imagine few people grow up thinking "when I grow up I'll wear a cassock" but after some religious indoctrination a good number do, even though I think it looks outmoded in this day and age.

It's fine when you live in a culture that requires women to interact almost exclusively with other women when their faces are uncovered but not in our society.
