Maryland Police Caught Spying on Peace Groups
Documents obtained by the Maryland chapter of the ACLU disclosed that in 2005 and 2006 undercover Maryland Police officers repeatedly spied on peace activists and anti-death penalty groups. The documents also revealed that police logged some of the names of members of these groups into suspected terrorists databases. However, none of the 43 pages of summaries nor computer logs obtained by the ACLU indicated any criminal or threatening conduct by the groups spied upon by undercover state police.
