Health cards, driver's licences, student IDs, passports, employee passes etc. etc. all contain photos of the holder and are used to prevent fraudulent access to services and entitlements. They must be produced upon demand by officials to be verified with a visual recognition of the person's face. There is NO question of violating anyone's so-called "rights" in the performance of this duty. The refusal to submit photo ID or to deny a visual verification results in a justifiable refusal of the access or service. 
The irony is that all the women who insist on following the tribal custom of covering their faces have, at least, health cards with their facial photos on them. Those photos are also accessible to any male official who cares to view them.
Our governments DO dictate modes of dress and lifestyles, otherwise polygamy and public nudity would be recognised under the charter rights of freedom of religion and expression.
