[QUOTE="jruggery, post: 695283, member: 40972"] 1. No one here, myself included, seems to know the exact provisions of the law or ordinance in question. However, it's preposterous to suggest that Baltimore P.D. now has the power to kick in doors and seize dirt bikes that were LEGALLY purchased and possessed. The 4th amendment of the U.S. constitution gives protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and no state or municipality has the authority to abridge that right. Also, seized property would not be released without, at the very least, checking the VIN to see if the bike was reported stolen and attempting to contact the owner(s). 2. Don't believe everything you see or read, especially from the media. Oftentimes what you are shown is coming from an entity more concerned with ratings or selling papers than reporting objectively. 3. Whoever said above that the individual officers do not make the laws is absolutely correct. James, do you work? Do you get to ignore what your supervisor tells you to do? Neither do police officers. As far as officer discretion, that only applies to minor traffic infractions, not drug dealing and possession of a stolen motor vehicle, which are among the most serious grades of crime. And I think most of us that have been let off with a warning for speeding instead of given a ticket are glad that police officers are given that little bit of latitude. [/QUOTE]
