Face Mask Exempt Cards are not legit, the U.S. DOJ says so.
The U.S. Department of Justice is calling out the"Exempt" cards folks claim allow them to get away with not covering their faces in public ... because the cards are fraudulent.
An alert was issued by the feds Thursday warning of the phony face mask flyers, urging the public to"be aware regarding fraudulent postings, cards, or flyers on the internet regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and the use of face masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic." The alert made it clear the cards were not issued by the government and not endorsed by it ... despite the appearance of the Dept. of Justice's seal.warned ..."Do not be fooled by the chicanery and misappropriation of the DOJ eagle. These cards do not carry the force of law. The 'Freedom to Breathe Agency,' or 'FTBA,' is not a government agency."
We'd like to say,"Yeah, no duh" ... but way too many people on social media seem fooled, as they circulated the cards this week as if they were legit. The U.S. Attorney adds to check out the ADA website for official and correct info about the American Disabilities Act, and the CDC still encourages the use of facial coverings in public.
