Coincidence:

Watching a rerun of Law & Order from the mid-1990's, Jamie, the female
ADA, goes to the medical ward of a prison, and when she's about to walk
in, someone hands her a medical mask.

FWIW it wasn't cloth, it was one of those semi-stiff dome-like masks.

It was a prop on a TV show.

Of course it was a prop. That doesn't mean it's not real. (The word is
short for property.) But do you think the propmaster made something
that looked like a mask, or that he sent someone to the store with a
list of things to buy, including a mask. Which would take less time
and money?

No doubt it was a real dust mask or respirator they got from the set
construction crew. Counterfeits were not popular back then and nobody
but bank robbers and trick or treaters used cloth masks.
The question is whether the scenario was real. What were they treating
in that ward that required PPE?


Don't take it too seriously. That is the
same show that told you, taping a pop bottle on a .45 would silence it
and they got DNA results overnight.

Irrelevant.

Now when you cite cases from Judge Judy and present them like legal
precedents.
