STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT
Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.
If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.
Talk about ignoring the issue! I wonder if news organizations based in Maryland will come to the defense of this exposé, and thus there own right to do undercover reporting in their own state.
Just another example of Gangster Government, this time on the local level.

nope we shouldn't be surprised.. But need to give these 2 support and also continue pushing our elected officials to push for investigation of ACORN...
Maryland, right?
Where Washington, District of Chicago is, right?
Where the low-ranking pols life, right?
Where the epitome of The Good Life is the TA truck stop in Jessup (home of the naked whore races), right?
Of course it would be illegal to expose corruption.
My God, suppose everybody got to doing that!
