Maryland State Police No cameras, please

Maryland State Police stopped Anthony Graber for speeding on I-95 at a reported 100 mph -- while popping a wheelie on his sport bike. The traffic stop got a little weird when the officer, dressed in plain clothes and driving an unmarked car, busted out of the driver's door with a drawn handgun. The officer rushed over, grabbed the front of the bike and ordered Graber to get off the motorcycle before identifying himself as a State Police officer and holstering the weapon.





The Maryland Attorney General's Office has released an opinion that may allow people to record police in some situations.

The opinion states that a police stop is not a private conversation and therefore it is not covered by Maryland's Wiretap Act.
