On the other hand, I get why even peaceful protestors may want to hide their faces (unpopular with your employer for instance) and those people could easily find themselves in an unexpected riot due to the actions of others.

The whole "wearing masks at protests are worse offences than raping kids" reasoning is pretty ridiculous. The maximum penalty for "raping kids" is much longer than 10 years, and I doubt anyone convicted under this will get the maximum sentence.

What section?
