- Who: The Maryland State Police
- What: The state police are attempting to dodge a lawsuit filed against them by the American Civil Liberties Union over documents relating to their attempts to spy on Maryland activists.
- Why it’s a bad idea: If everything is on the up and up, why are the state police trying so hard to avoid turning out their documents? If they really released all the documents (doubtful), their word isn’t enough. They already spied on our citizens, for pete’s sake. Let’s get some answers.
- Why they’re doing it: Our guess is that they’re trying to save face. That or hiding public information is too hard a habit to kick. You pick.
