aqainst this amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone desire to speak in
favor?
DELEGATE BOTHE: Mr. Chairman, I would like to
speak very briefly.
I was croing to sit down and say I would vote
against sex if you vote against this amendment.
But, Delegate Willoner, as far as the wiretap
evidence concerned being excludable, it is only wiretap
and not eavesdropping devices which are excluded by statutes
under Maryland law today.
Secondly, as for the Constitution providing
only for limitations on the action of the State, this amend-
ment does not call for any limitation on private action.
It merely says that the Courts shall not countenance any
abuse of the 4th Amendment or section 4 of our new
Constitution, which is certainly an element of State action;
and for these reasons, I would suggest that both of the
points which Delegate Willoner has raised and ones which
I respect, i-f acur"e, are not ap.Ucable to this ---.."
ment which is proposed here.
