Police spying alleged
Suit claims Maryland State Police surveilled peace activists

The American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland is suing the Maryland State Police to get records it believes may show local authorities aided the federal government in spying on peace activists during several annual protests outside the National Security Agency.

Filed yesterday in Baltimore Circuit Court, the lawsuit alleges that state police have refused to disclose a record related to the surveillance despite public information requests.

Court papers state that a "Baltimore Intel Unit" had monitored many individual peace activists as they gathered at the American Friends Service Committee and prepared to protest in 2003 at the NSA, based at Fort Meade.

The monitoring of individuals and groups before protests, according to the lawsuit, went on for years, and was documented in part by state police. In August 2006, the groups, which include the American Friends Service Committee, Jonah House, Baltimore Pledge of Resistance and Baltimore Emergency Response Network, filed public information requests through the ACLU with federal, state and local organizations seeking the records.

1. If the cops are so concerned about keeping their secrets private..
Then they must have some mightily ugly skeletons hanging in their closet. Hope the courts force the cops to turn over the information so we know the truth, whatever it may be.

5. The Police ARE Freemasonry
and we at the Anti Corruption Party are sitting here with all the evidence. Just search online for an article called "How to stop the NWO/Masons immediately". We will post it here as soon as they let us.
