I read this story elsewhere, and what was not mentioned was why the charges were thrown out - it is only illegal to wear a mask there when it is in the commission of another crime. Just wandering around town wearing a full face mask is NOT illegal there. :D

And awesome pun at the end, by the way.

Yes, it is illegal there. It goes back to anti-KKK efforts. Doesn't apply here? Maybe not; the judge threw it out. But the cops charged him with the crime because it was on the books. -rc

Wow I thought this was funny, I live in sarasota only 45mins. away and I've never seen anything like this before. (not even on halloween) Kudos randy for finding this!

Hmm. There's more of his face exposed than when I wear my law required Shoei full face helmet with a smoked visor. I often walk inside of gas stations to pay for gas with it on to make a point. What if a DOT/Snell foundation approved helmet that looked like a Batman mask were sold? I think this is why the case was dismissed.
