A bill proposed by Democratic Pennsylvania Representative Paul Friel would require government agents and law enforcement officers to wear identifiable uniforms and prohibit face coverings that obscure their identity during official duties. Friel states this legislation addresses the practice of some federal agents operating without identification while concealing their faces, arguing it endangers both the public and officers. The Representative championed his bill, arguing it will strengthen public and officer safety, enhance accountability and transparency, and curb political violence.
