A SHOPPING centre has banned hooded sweatshirts and hats for fear young criminals are using them to hide from security cameras.
Signs have been in place at Tweed City shopping centre for the past three weeks warning that "hoodies" and hats will be banned after 6pm (AEST) on Thursdays.
Centre management said the trial ban on headwear was prompted by friction between security guards and local youths.

I don't care for the law - it's a joke. Therefore, I'm not in a position to know if this is legal or not?
How can a public shopping centre enforce dress codes upon youths? What about youths who are with their parents and allowed some free time for an hour?
This police state mentality is a joke.

The kiddies will start wearing Shawls and Turbans
Then their rights will be specifically protected by the Law. We can't discriminate now can we?

If the kids have a problem with it, they should disown "hoodie culture" entirely.

I have heard classical music works as a good deterrant in many cases, along with that high pitched mosquito tone.

I agree 100%.
Ban them from all public places.
I think that 'Hoodies' are in someways inciting many to do criminal acts that they would probably not do if identity was a factor.
