The Surveillance State in Maryland

Listen Wednesday, Jul. 23, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Law, Politics

Civil libertarians recently uncovered evidence that Maryland's State Police spied on peace activists and anti-death penalty groups during former Gov. Robert Ehrlich's tenure. The discovery is making waves in Annapolis and on Capitol Hill. We talk to U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin about the state of surveillance in Maryland, as well as with a local journalist and activist who recently learned the government was watching him.
