As I understand it, section 6aa doesn't actually prohibit the wearing of masks, but it does allow any police officer
"to require any person to remove any item which the constable reasonably believes that person is wearing wholly or mainly for the purpose of concealing his identity;"

[edit] Early life and career
Jimenez, the son of Cuban immigrants Frank and Daisy Jimenez, grew up in Miami, Florida. Jimenez graduated with honors in 1987 from the University of Miami, where he majored in biology. He received his law degree in 1991 from the Yale Law School, where he was Notes Editor of the Yale Law Journal and won the Harlan Fiske Stone and Benjamin N. Cardozo Prizes for best oral argument and best brief, respectively, in the school's moot court competition. He also received an MBA degree in 2005 from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Before his career in the Federal government, Jimenez practiced at the Miami law firm of Steel Hector and Davis LLP, specializing in complex commercial litigation and white collar criminal defense, including federal class action, antitrust and product liability litigation, and representation of clients under federal grand jury and agency investigation. He joined the firm in 1992 and became a partner in 1998. Previously, he served a one-year clerkship in the chambers of Judge Pamela Ann Rymer of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Pasadena, California. Jimenez is admitted to the Bars of Florida and the District of Columbia.


[edit] Government work
Previously, Jimenez served in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) as the Deputy General Counsel (Legal Counsel) for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), managing key litigation matters across the entire Department and coordinating with the White House Counsel's Office, Department of Justice and other agencies on pressing legal issues. He advised senior DoD officials on a wide variety of legal questions and supervised the Office of Legislative Counsel and the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals. Prior to his service in OSD, Jimenez was the Principal Deputy General Counsel for the Department of the Navy, the alter ego to the General Counsel of the Navy.

Before his 2004 arrival at the Pentagon, Jimenez served as the Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As Chief of Staff, he assisted Secretary Mel Martinez in managing more than 9,000 employees and an annual budget surpassing $30 billion. He helped supervise HUD's many homeownership and affordable housing programs for low-income Americans, as well as programs for the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities, and people living with AIDS. Jimenez also assisted in supervising the Department's interactions with the White House, sister agencies, public officials, industry groups and the general public.

Jimenez arrived in Washington in 2002 from Florida, where he served for nearly four years in the Executive Office of Governor Jeb Bush, beginning with his gubernatorial transition in 1998. For two of those years, he served as Deputy Chief of Staff, with oversight duties at various times for the Departments of Transportation, Business and Professional Regulation, Environmental Protection, Community Affairs, Elder Affairs, and Health, as well as the Agency for Workforce Innovation and the Division of Emergency Management. Jimenez also served as Acting General Counsel and as Deputy General Counsel to the Governor.
