FULL TRANSCRIPT

David Rocah
It is bad enough that Montgomery County has helped undermine Anton’s Law through its agreement with the FOP. But the County’s example has already metastasized to Baltimore County, which has done the exact same thing through a police policy. The fact that county officials across the state are undermining the disclosure obligations of Anton’s Law through union agreements or police policies is completely unacceptable, and shows why transparency is so important, and why this case is so important. Misconduct thrives in secrecy.
