I was unable to find a picture of the wrongly accused man to compare to the mask, but the fact that a mask caused an innocent man to be arrested is baffling. Regardless of how closely mask’s appearance resembled the man’s, that should not have led to the man’s arrest. Just because you look similar to someone who committed a crime does not mean you can be arrested just for how you look.…
