The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 35 (Montgomery County) issued the following statement in opposition of Bill 2-24, the Freedom to Leave Act, which was introduced by Councilmember Will Jawando on Tuesday. The new bill proposes to “(1) prioritize Fourth Amendment rights and reduce disparities in traffic enforcement by prohibiting consent searches of a motor vehicle or person by a police officer; and (2) improve data analysis for traffic stops by requiring the collection of additional data and annual reporting of traffic stop data.
