Your suspicion is warranted I think, but any action against anyone not wearing a mask is an act of prejudice against people with disabilities. Neither of us is qualified in any way to determine who should and shouldn't be wearing mask. I have several family members with hard to spot disabilities and this sort of bullshit "well if we don't credential people some people might get away with something!" affects actual people with actual disabilities far more than people who exploit it.
Just fucking let it go already. Assholes will exploit the loopholes, that's a given. It's a commons, and it's tragic. Blah fucking blah.
It is also assholes that will name and shame and induce public drama against people not wearing masks. I don't want to deal with either type of asshole. Shaming people for being overweight or for not using condoms is a proven way for public health initiatives to fail, and all this hand-wringing about people who will exploit this loophole does exactly that but with masks.
Defund the police in your heart, too.
