    FBI Wants Dress Code For Bank Customers
    September 14, 2007 | Unknown

    The FBI wants people to remove hats and sunglasses when they enter a bank, agents said.
    Agent Larry Carr in Seattle said the agency is asking state lawmakers for a banking dress code to prevent robbers from covering their faces from surveillance cameras.
    Missouri adopted a dress code. and bank robberies dropped significantly.
    On Thursday, a man wearing a hat walked into a Bank of America branch in Lynnwood and demanded money.
    Last month, surveillance video showed a man agents called the "Old School Bandit" robbing a bank as he wore a bandana across his face.
    In July, a woman wearing a construction worker's outfit robbed a Wells Fargo bank in Des Moines.
    In Olympia, a woman dressed in a witch's costume robbed a bank in 2005.
    According to the FBI, there have been 113 bank robberies this year in the state. Two occurred Wednesday.
    The FBI is expected to ask lawmakers to pass legislation forbidding banks from doing business with customers who are wearing hats and sunglasses. Some banks already have dress codes but the FBI is looking for a uniform standard.

    Exemptions for medical and religious reasons could be filed at the branch you frequent.

    I work in banking and i love the idea of this law. I was curious what you guys think of it?

    Good point, I wouldn't really care if they asked me to remove my sunglasses before entering the bank. But I'm sure everyone's gonna make a big ole stink about this, because people hate being told what to do.

    I dunno...most of your "everyday" people who come into the bank do not wear bandana's over their face or ski masks in the middle of summer.

    I was always taught that it was common courtesy to remove sun glasses/hats when you enter a building...

    I think whatever makes people feel better, then fine. Do it.

    I think it's a bit much and won't work because a robber will just wear a burka.

    Good idea. They should've thought of that years ago.

    You can't go into most stores without shirts or shoes. Banks could have their own rules.

    People will get use to the new rules in a short time.

    They managed to outlaw baggy pants in some parts of the country (and are attempting it in others) - why not.

    Pretty soon we all will be wearing the grey overalls portrayed in techno-fascist movies like THX1138.

    Hell, that wouldn't bother me a bit. I got held at gunpoint about two weeks ago in a Taco Bell, and I'm paranoid in certain situations now, especially when I'm standing in line at the bank. I'm always scanning the crowd, looking at the other customers. There will be some people that will make a stink about it, I'm sure, but they're the ones that have never had a gun shoved in their face before.

    In Florida, where I live, there are signs at my bank asking you to remove your hat and sunglasses. I am not sure that is the law or mandatory.

    If the criminals are there to rob the goddamn bank; why for the love of money would they give two shits about a misdemeanor dress code violation?

    We do not need more frickin laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If they do wear a mask or hat they will raise suspicion earlier.

    The place i worked at in Michigan was robbed during December. He came in wearing a ski mask and got in line. Middle of winter people wear alot coming in. We did not have this policy or law. After a few minutes he pulled a gun on my manager. If we would of had this law we would of known before hand something was wrong.

    Second if he doesn't wear a mask in order to try to blend in then the security cameras can get a clear image of him or her.

    Third this also helps with stolen accounts. People trying to pass as someone else. You would be surprised how many people refuse to take off their motorcycle helmets even.

    They want to make it a law so that there is a uniform policy for all banks you enter.
