What of you just dont do it? Let them wear it if they want. I know this is not for security reasons because youve been able to wear face covering since the start of time on the street.

Public places in this context isn't the streets. It's the local government office, the local library, a supermarket - places that will not allow you to cover your whole face. It's sensational to talk solely about burqa's and niqab's, but this applies to motorcycle helmets and balaclava's too, of course.

facial recognition and 0-24 movement tracking did not work good enough I guess

Pretty sure that just means women who (have to) wear a burqa just stay inside now?!

It is also permitted for artistic and entertainment performances and for advertising purposes.

Branded burqas will solve this problem. I'm sure the actual law won't have this loophole, but it's funny to think a little nike check mark would defeat this ban.
