Documents obtained by the Maryland American Civil Liberties Union and released Thursday show that the state police spent 288 hours over 14 months spying on members of certain political activist groups.

According to the documents covering a period between 2005 and 2006, the state police’s Homeland Security and Intelligence Division closely monitored peace group the Baltimore Pledge of Resistance, the Coalition to End the Death Penalty, and the Committee to Save Vernon Evans, another anti-death penalty group.
