Who gets to decide the law is “unconstitutional”? Is it actually unconstitutional or is it in your beliefs and ethics unconstitutional? I may be down a semantic rabbit hole here, but I think people get revved up a little too hard when you phrase it as a point of fact that the law is “unconstitutional”.
Exactly. The State of Maryland has an Attorney General who has ruled that this is constitutional. Each county has an Assistant State's Attorney, each of whom has agreed that this is constitutional. Each county also has a Legal Department, all of whom have agreed this is constitutional. There are many incorporated cities with their own legal departments and police departments, each of whom have agreed its constitutional.
I would LOVE for someone to push a case and get federal courts, and eventually the Supreme Court, to make a final determination. Until then, this law has passed muster from numerous layers of legal teams before a policy was inacted by my (And other) police departments.
Lets not forget that just 60 years ago, lots of southern jurisdictions thought that "separate but equal" was and should continue to be legal. Thankfully the Supreme Court ruled it in Brown v Board of Education. It is not up to individual officers to make a determination about what laws they feel are or aren't Constitutional. It is up to the COURTS to make these decisions. Vilifying officers for following a law is a lazy criticism.
Comparing officers taking away guns from someone that has been determined to likely be a threat to a Nazi officer that murdered innocent civilians is asinine.
