On a somewhat related note, I am all for the criminalization of masks. There is no constitutional right to clothing choices. From protesters to luchadors, you have no rights to your own identity. There will be no identity fuckery. 

And perhaps finally I can find out who that goddamn Spiderman is!

Given that [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc]these cunts[/url] exist and show up everywhere I am not wholly against the criminalization of masks at protest. If you are peacefully protesting something you don't need to hide your identity.

In the United States (where the KKK are) we are constitutionally guaranteed freedom of assembly (in the first amendment). You must have legit evidence of criminal conspiracy to bust them up. That's why the federal government, when they seriously wanted to expend the effort on breaking up groups, had to use shady methods to get away with it, bending the law a bit.[/quote]

Like said, theoretically the rights can be changed (and they have in Europe in some cases, as have the constitutions) but for America I don't see it happening, considering the US has not changed their constitution much as far as I am aware. So you're not wrong, but just because something is a right doesn't mean you have unequivocal access to it at all times.

As for monitoring known members, this shouldn't be hard but so far the US has failed tremendously as the KKK is very prominent in rural areas in terms of obtaining seats of power in the police department for example.
