NJ, the Regs state, “No person may, without reasonable excuse, enter or remain within a relevant place without wearing a face covering” and later goes on to give examples of what is meant by a reasonable excuse.
How does that prevent the police taking the same approach as that in the seatbelt legislation?
If the police see someone without a face covering, is it not up to that person to show they have a reasonable excuse for not wearing the covering in the same way someone in a car has to demonstrate they fall within one of the seatbelt exemptions?
If the defendant fails to give a reasonable excuse for not wearing a face covering, how is he not "without a reasonable excuse"?
