Documents show Md. law enforcement spied on protesters

Yeah they will protest the survelliance but still whine and actually cops to respond to a house call when a perp breaks in their residence. F the ACLU, headline chasing bastards havent done anything that counts recently. They love discrimination because without any thought of it, they have no jobs.

wah, wah, wah the aclu is such a joke. I guess there is nothing else going on in this country or this useless state to worry about!

By the way im from baltimore not NY like it reads. (wireless card)

You know, if liberal protestors weren't so prone to violence, maybe the cops wouldn't need to spy on them.

If conservatives weren't so prone to violating our constitutional rights, maybe we wouldn't need to protest.

There is absolutely no justification for the Maryland State Police to be doing this 'spying' activity on lawful demonstrations.
Whoever ordered this is not honorable in any way shape or form and is effectively stealing tax payer dollars.
These MSP commanders have forgotten ethics the judgments and consent decrees against them do not seem to matter they are more like their own mafia that feel good about stealing from the public coffers and only seem to serve their own interests.
The MSP feels they are above the laws of the land.
They should have come forward with this data without a public information request as well. They look and act like crooks - hiding all their incredibly stupid and unethical actions...

why can't they spy on drug dealers like this? they are the real terrorist

This is a huge violation of civil liberties and waste of police time that should be spent on protecting the public from actual criminals. Thank you ACLU!!!

if this dude was about to have a lethal injection, then it's probably safe to assume that he violated someone's civil rights to the max. and they aren't here to discuss it. so what the heck is the problem with someone taking the aclu to task for protesting the legal execution of a thug?

Hey, I am so upset I going to go yell at the next cop I see. Oh, wait a minute.......that guy behind me... he's probably a cop since I just left my weekly "I hate America, pro-flag burning, anti-death penalty, Pro-Choice, Anti-Bush, anti-ANWAR Drilling, pro-Tax, Give terrorists civil rights, stop racial profiling, angti-fast food, envirnomental wacko, anti American military, save-the children" meeting.

Since the MSP seem to be unwilling or unable to enfore speed limits and aggressive driving laws on our highways, at least they should be doing something useful like taking proactive measures to preserve property rights and public safety. Hope they are spying on the gangs, also.

The a.c.l.u. are nothing but panty waisted, punk, petty lawyers who spew belicose barrels of bull baloney from their mindless mouths. God bless the police, the military and all men of honor.

Imagine that - expecting government to provide the services we pay for without intruding needlessly in our personal lives and peaceful interactions.

I'm not a liberal, but when it comes to being "prone to violence," no one compete to agents of the State.

I'll take an ACLU lawyer over a scumbucket who carries a gun for the State any day of the week.

Let me try that one again: when it comes to being "prone to violence," no one can compete wtih agents of the State.

Whether someone's rights were violated hasn't been yet determined. The AC the hell with U says yes. On the surface, it would seem they have a case. But we haven't heard from the MSP yet. Until then, I'll reserve judgement.

We'll see after the years of court battles, all on the taxpayer dime.

Which Bill of Rights provision gives anyone the right to violent protests?

What a severe waste of my taxpayer dollars. When was the last time an anti-death penalty got violent? How many protests have gotten violent in the past decade?

Having undercover police infiltrating these groups has a direct negative influence on peoples willingness and ability to exercise the freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. That is bad for democracy and hence bad for America.

I hear a lot of people up in arms over protecting the 2nd Amendment, which they should be, but those some people should be just as concerned about all the rest.

How do you know they don't? Do you think they are gonna advertise it? Do drug dealers seek the "protection" of the ACLU? Is the ACLU intersted in the civil liberties of drug dealers? Not likely. The headlines are good enough
