A group which circulated so-called"Face Mask Exempt" cards, purporting to exempt the bearer from ordinances requiring face coverings to be worn in public say they will find"different means" of distributing them after their websites were taken down.
The card also carries a warning that violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act could be met with"steep penalties," including fines of $75,000 or $150,000. "Do not be fooled by the chicanery and misappropriation of the DOJ eagle," U.S. Attorney Matthew G.T. Martin of the Middle District of North Carolina said in a statement ."These cards do not carry the force of law. The 'Freedom to Breathe Agency,' or 'FTBA,' is not a government agency."
The group also said they had issued a statement clarifying that the cards were not issued by the Department of Justice, adding that they would be pursuing distribution of the cards by other means. The group's founder, Lenka Koloma, advertised versions of the cards which did not feature the Department of Justice logo on her personal Facebook page. Her post advertising the cards was flagged as false information by the social media giant's fact checkers. Her personal website also features videos on how to deal with"face mask shaming."
