Ok I won't say you guys are dumb, because I don't live in the UK. But to me it DOES sound EXTREMELY dumb. It's an article of clothing for fucks sake, come on. People around here commit crimes in hoodies every day, but they don't ban them. Why? Because people would laugh and probably wear them anyway. Come on, for security reasons? There are plenty of other ways to disguise yourself if you are going to commit a crime or something of that nature. It's fine if you aren't allowed to WEAR the hood in certain places, but if they really aren't going to allow people to wear hoodies at all, then that's bullshit.
