I would rather refrain from a reference to BV 10a. The whole article is a constitutional misfortune (in the chapter "fundamental rights" a "ban on covering one's own face", that's just how it comes out with an initiative committee as constitutional editors ...). Exceptions should be regulated in any case in a separate paragraph. There are "models" for this penalty provision in various cantonal criminal laws. Zug, for example, currently has the following:

§ 7 Prohibition of mummery

¹ Anyone who disguises himself at meetings, events, demonstrations or other gatherings of people on public or private property requiring a permit shall be punished by a fine.

² The police may grant exceptions if respectable reasons justify disguising oneself. Fasnacht and other traditional events are not covered by the ban on disguising oneself.

³ The police may refrain from enforcing the ban in individual cases if this is necessary to prevent escalation.
