  uh gee... these things you mention happen in neighborhoods across Austin, or at least in certain neighborhoods, and baseball caps, hoodies and sun glasses are NOT banned from the streets.

  ps. how can I get in touch with you; I'd really like to know if this library rule is Constitutional. Although some states do have anti-mask laws, Texas apparently doesn't; and the various state rules are written differently;

  are you in/near Austin? How can I get hold of you? I seriously want to challenge the Austin Public Library's "rule."
  
  Although some states do have "anti-mask" laws that mention hoodies -- none mention baseball caps specifically:

  I've never seen anyone manage to conceal themselves with a baseball cap.
  
  totally agree with you - I was "caught" wearing a baseball cap in an austin library; I'm probably going to call the ACLU - I'm not joking.
