Ah, the Brit police: they can't do anything about slavers and rape gangs, but cover your face

at the wrong time and they're right on your ass.
A man has been fined after refusing to be scanned by controversial facial recognition cameras being trialled by the Metropolitan Police. 

The force had put out a statement saying “anyone who declines to be scanned will not necessarily be viewed as suspicious”. However, witnesses said several people were stopped after covering their faces or pulling up hoods.
"How dare you hide your face from our non-compulsory activity!  You must be dealt with before the other commoners get ideas!"
