It depends on what they are doing. Wearing a grinch mask for no apparent reason is cause to be suspicious of that person. Generally, if you cause people to panic or fear for their safety you are violating the law (and for good reason). This is similar to yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater and then when you are being arrested trying to claim that the government is infringing on your right to free speech.
