Stockton council approves ordinance regulating face coverings used for intimidation

The Stockton City Council has approved an ordinance regulating the use of facial coverings when they are used to conceal a person’s identity in ways that provoke fear, intimidation, threats, or violence.

The measure, approved by the council this week, will take effect in 30 days and will be enforced by the Stockton Police Department, the council said.
