Bill 119 HR 2065, also known as the "Disguise Act of 2021," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code to impose harsher penalties for individuals who commit certain offenses while wearing a disguise. The bill seeks to deter individuals from using disguises to conceal their identity while engaging in criminal activities.
If passed, the bill would increase the penalties for offenses committed while in disguise, such as robbery, assault, or vandalism. This would include additional fines and potentially longer prison sentences for those found guilty of committing crimes while disguised.
The purpose of this legislation is to address the issue of individuals using disguises to evade detection and accountability for their actions. By imposing stricter penalties for these offenses, the bill aims to discourage individuals from using disguises as a means to commit crimes.
Overall, the Disguise Act of 2021 seeks to enhance public safety and hold individuals accountable for their actions by deterring the use of disguises in the commission of criminal offenses.
