The latest incarnation of the hooded top, called a goggle jacket, appears to have more in common with a gas mask than designer wear, leaving just small plastic discs for users to see through.

(From Metro).

People can only see this for the evil of intimidating people. Me - I'd wear one to strike fear into the hearts of criminals.

The youth of today - cover their faces but expose their arses with 'lo-riders', who can understand them?

I'm looking forward to seeing this turn up around my part of town, something else to laugh at.]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6741#Comment_6741 2007-12-10T10:29:39-08:00 2013-05-26T01:18:47-07:00 Cat Vincent http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=447 Add a Faraday Cage (to block the advertising-beamed-into-your-head) and air filter to the fucker and I'll have one!

They won't do that - the simple reason being that they would then have to justify not banning the full length Muslim wear. Although it would be fun to see the kids wearing burqas to get around any ban...

They trialled the facial recognition cameras on my patch the result being that they just didn't work. So until they get that working there is little need to have any legislation to keep people's faces open.

The failings of 'normal' CCTV are bad enough, you can't recognise faces on 90% of cases.

(Also in the article a copper mentions that a scarf and glasses hide identity just as well).]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6760#Comment_6760 2007-12-10T11:43:57-08:00 2013-05-26T01:18:47-07:00 Cat Vincent http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=447 @Reynolds: fair points all - but with our beloved Government (or any of 'em!)
