WA bill that would bar most police from wearing face coverings clears Senate
BY LUKE DUECY AND FRANK LENZI

A bill that would limit when police officers can wear face coverings while interacting with the public has passed the Washington State Senate.
Senate Bill 5855 passed by a vote of 30 to 19 Wednesday afternoon.
Sen. Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles) was among those voting yes. In 1999, Chapman helped catch the Millennium bomber when he was a customs inspector.
“One of the reasons I believe that capture came to a safe end, is I was in full uniform,” Chapman said.
