Baltimore police dues doubled to pay for legal defense of officers in Freddie Gray case, avert union insolvency

[BALTIMORESUN]

An exercise in union busting, was it? I thought Dems never do that? They'll be expecting FOP support this election, of course, not that it matters. The city's been doing just fine under Dem administration since 1967. Next mayor will be Catherine Pugh, who defeated ex-mayor Shiela Dixon by two points in April. The current mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake finished out Dixon's term for her after she was indicted on a dozen felony and misdemeanor counts, for stealing gift cards intended for poor folks.

#3 They wee prosecuted in state court. It's up to what state laws say. I don't recall any case where the Federal courts have ruled that classifies the cost and expense a 'taking' against the defendant.

#4 "Don't American courts award costs when cases are dismissed?"

No. In the UK they do, but not in the US as a general rule.

#5 Officials at Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 3 say they will continue collecting dues at the higher rate as a precaution, at least as long as Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby is in office

I suspect this will be repeated elsewhere.
