Summary
One of our roles is to look at new laws that give police new powers. Right now, we are looking at a new law that gives police the power to require a person to remove a face covering (such as a veil, niqab, helmet or mask) when confirming the person’s identity. One example is when the police ask a car to pull over and ask for the driver’s licence. It is an offence to disobey this requirement.
