    Maryland becomes first state to repeal police bill of rights.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Credibility Grade 78% • 3 min read

    The state legislature, controlled by the Democrats, voted to override vetoes that Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, issued against three police reform measures on Friday. H.B. 670 repealed the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights. S.B. 71 implemented a statewide body camera mandate for officers who regularly interact with the public. S.B. 178 restricted no-knock warrants.
    ...
    As written, the Maryland Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights is designed "to guarantee certain procedural safeguards to law enforcement officers during any investigation or interrogation or subsequent hearing that could lead to disciplinary action, demotion or dismissal."
    ...
    "Instead of a uniform, statewide process of police discipline, this bill would create a patchwork of hundreds of locally devised processes. ... The basic due process protections to which police are entitled have been removed." [Gov. Hogan said].

No - If this happens, then every party in the majority will change the number to suit their power preferences. However, I think there should be mandatory retirement age, like 70-75. Very few people that old have 100% of their mental capacity at that age.


Yes - Traditionally, the number of justices has been adjusted to match the number of circuit courts. ...


Unsure - The battle of over Supreme Court seats in the last several years has been really underhanded and partisan. With this in mind, it makes a lot of sense to m...
