State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 180 - Criminal Procedure - Interception of Oral Communications
by Law Enforcement Officers - Criminal Investigations.
This bill expands current law to allow a law enforcement officer to intercept an oral
communication if the officer lawfully detains a vehicle during a criminal
investigation. The officer must also meet certain requirements.
Senate Bill 20, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 180.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 180
AN ACT concerning
Criminal Procedure - Interception of Oral Communications by Law
Enforcement Officers - Criminal Investigations
FOR the purpose of allowing a law enforcement officer to intercept certain oral
communications after lawfully detaining a vehicle during a criminal
investigation under certain circumstances; providing that the interception of
oral communications is lawful if a person becomes a party to the communication
following the identification of the law enforcement officer or the informing of the
parties that the communication is being intercepted; and generally relating to
the interception of oral communications by law enforcement officers.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Courts and Judicial Proceedings
Section 10-402(c)(4)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1998 Replacement Volume and 2001 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF

the course of the officer's regular duty to intercept an oral communication, if:
