[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm voting for Marc Elrich for re-election in 2022, and I'd probably even vote for him in 2026 if he ran. I think he's doing a great job. I enjoyed not dying of COVID, and not giving away free money (subsidy and tax break) to wealthy real estate Oligarchs.

If this triggers you, please, tell me more about why you[b] hate Unions and love Developers and Cops[/b].[/quote]

Doesn't make sense if you are actually paying attention to police reform.

UNIONS shield bad cops through their heavy-handed bargaining agreements.  They skirt accountability and impede transparency to the public.

The agreement that Elrich has signed off on now, a few times, includes stuff like this:

1) Disciplinary actions are to be removed from Police Department files after five years, reprimands are to be
removed after one year, and performance evaluations are to be removed after five years (51C3).

2) FOP members who review an application for a vacant position may view the candidate’s performance
evaluations, letters of commendation, awards and training documents, but may not access other personnel
file documents (51B7g).  [b](i.e., they can't see any disciplinary actions when evaluating a candidate for promotion/transfer).[/b]

3) The County will notify the FOP of all external requests for MVS (in car camera/dash cam) recordings, including subpoenas and
summonses, and will solicit the FOP’s opinion before responding to the request. If the County determines
that the request cannot be denied per the MPIA, the County will allow the FOP to file a reverse MPIA action
and will not grant the original MPIA request until a court orders the recording to be disclosed (66C13).

4)  The County will deny all Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) requests for stored AVL/PRL (GPS locator) data on the
movements and location of vehicles unless a court establishes that AVL/PRL data is subject to the MPIA.
County will defend its denials of MPIA requests for stored AVL/PRL data in trial courts and will continue to
defend these denials until a court establishes that AVL/PRL data is not confidential information (65D).

5)  The County will review all external requests for BWCS recordings, including subpoenas and summonses, for
compliance with applicable standards, including those imposed by the CBA. If the FOP objects to release of
any portion of the recording, the FOP must promptly notify the County of its intent to file a reverse MPIA
claim (72E3).

6)  Employees must not be impaired by, or the under influence of, alcohol while on duty (Appendix A, 3.1).
         • “Impaired” is defined as a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .05%; “Under influence” is defined as BAC
          of .10% (Appendix A, 3.1).    ([b]which means they can have some alcohol in their system.   What happens if they engage in a use of force incident after a heavy night  
           of drinking?  They are lawfully at work with only a 0.04 BAC, but is that OK with the public when the officer beats the crap out of someone?)[/b]
