6. State level law enforcement is exempt from the law

That part of the OP is false

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Highway Patrol has been exempted from a proposal to make sure law enforcement agents do not conceal their identity.

The original bill prevented all law enforcement, such as federal immigration agents, from wearing masks or other types of face coverings.

But the amendment, first reported by Politico and KCRA, now applies the ban only to local and federal authorities, and officers from other states operating in California.

The CHP and other state-level agencies are now excluded, which has drawn criticism from at least two state police agencies.

Wonder why they were given a pass?
