Of course some still will. Do you think any legal proscription stops the crime it proscribes? Murders still happen. Are you telling me that laws against murder shouldn't be on the books?
No, the law makes it possible to stop an incipient incident, because after all, the criminal cannot wear the covering from home, and donning it in view of others (say, in the men's room, or in an alleyway) will immediately denote the wearer as someone intent on a crime.
Let's turn this around: do you think a person has a right to privacy in the public sphere? If so, why?

Can see the scene in the smoky cellar.
"Well **** if we are not allowed to wear masks without breaking the law this heist is a bust. Let's just not bother! "
See my above point to rebut this clever, but vapid, reply.
