[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2741891, member: 13624"] The Maryland law in question: [url]http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/public-safety/title-3/subtitle-1/3-104/[/url] Note that I didn't say "proposed" law; it went into effect five years ago. That means that, during the investigation of the actions that led to the current riots, the officers involved were protected by rules that let them see all of the evidence before they were questioned; not allowed to be threatened with disciplinary action; to only be questioned by a brother officer; to have knowledge of personally-identifying information of those involved in his questioning; to object to any question (by way of example, Oklahoma County deposition rules limit objections to "objection, leading" and "objection, form [of the question, such as a compound question]"; no such limits exist in this law); ordered tests (such as tox screens) are specifically made non-admissible, or even discoverable (we mere plebes can have our blood drawn forcibly, and it's admissible); and the accused can't have any adverse information added to his file without the right to submit written comments on same. Show of hands: who thinks we mere subjects would get the same consideration if being investigated? Who thinks that it's fair that if I whack somebody in the head with a club, I live under a multi-year statute of limitations, but if I wear a shiny tin star, my statute of limitations is only 90 days? Anybody? [/QUOTE]
