Maryland?s top cop ? then chief of the Baltimore County police force ? ignored the advice of two senior staff members and ordered a police officer to undergo an invasive and potentially illegal brain scan, according to new court filings.

Maryland State Police Chief Terrence Sheridan was repeatedly advised that a forced electroencephalogram, or EEG, could violate discrimination laws but required county Police Offer William Blake to have one anyway, Blake?s attorney said. Blake is fighting the medical test, which some experts said could provoke a seizure, in federal court.
