As I've said, we have many bikers who don't bother taking their helmets off when going to some outside ATMs for cash, and it causes no problems. Why should it be made illegal?

A burka and a full face helmet hides the persons identity but a motorcyclist will remove their helmet in public and not wear them into a shop or a bank as they will be requested to remove it.
A person wearing a burka can enter a shop or a bank without removing it, in a place such as a bank if they should have to remove the burka in order to be served and this can be done in a private room away from the general public.
With the amount of cameras now in use in this country we cannot know how any are being used for covert surveillance and any that are would be run through facial recognition software.
