In case anyone wonders how likely that sort of law is, France actually have a law against covering your face in public areas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering

While I dislike the ban on e.g. religious garments, it can still be coherent to ban face covering and ban face recording.
