If this ever becomes a "thing"

Then the police authorities will simply follow their usual standard operating procedure and declare it arbitrarily illegal under a vague interpretation of existing laws. Then they will find someone wearing the glasses/dazzle makeup/whatever who is unsavory enough not to garner public sympathy, prosecute him, and therefore set a legal precedent to apply in the future.

This is America- the country where some towns ban baggy pants, or can legally use them as a valid reason to stop-and-frisk.
