And there's a different reason why SWAT-cops in the US wear masks. The last time I pointed that out, someone mentioned that UK cops also wear masks at times.
Is there any place where the cops never wear masks?
As I understand it, regular beat cops sometimes wear masks in Mexico, which doesn't happen in safer countries, not just special operations. In my brief visit to mexico (an afternoon in Nogales, pretty safe) I didn't notice any cops, but I did see trucks with soldiers in them, probably a third of whom had masks on.
I think the issue is more around the regularity with which authoroties have to conceal their identity.
