		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday said &#8220;get a warrant.&#8221; Why, then, on Wednesday, did a witness at a legislative hearing in Montpelier say &#8220;you don&#8217;t need one?&#8221; Granted, the situations were different. The Supreme Court’s order came in a case where police surreptitiously attached a GPS tracking device to the underbody of a car [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Police in Hartford have once again been under scrutiny for alleged misconduct. The routine has become familiar. The Attorney General&#8217;s Office is called in to investigate, and &#8212; as it has in the past &#8212; concludes after a review that town officers didn&#8217;t use excessive force. But there&#8217;s a twist to the most recent review. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Vermont Supreme Court has reversed a lower court decision that said property tax &#8220;prebate&#8221; information was public. Not so, the Supreme Court said in a decision released Friday. The numbers consist of &#8220;return information&#8221; from personal income tax filings and are therefore confidential. Debate over the public or private nature of property tax prebates [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the questions Thursday in the Vermont Supreme Court accurately reflected the murkiness of Vermont&#8217;s police records disclosure law, things are quite a muddle. There was even disagreement over what an &#8220;arrest&#8221; is &#8212; the most basic of police actions that you&#8217;d think, given the gravity of such a situation, should be pretty clear. But [...]]]></description>

On Monday, the EU announced it is prohibiting the high-tech machines &#8220;in order not to risk jeopardizing citizens&#8217; health and safety,&#8221; according to a news report from ProPublica. Twenty-seven countries comprise the EU. X-ray [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tasers aren&#8217;t safe for the typical target they&#8217;re used on. Tasers don&#8217;t reduce the use of lethal force by a police department but do lead to earlier use of higher levels of force. Tasers are frequently &#8220;recklessly deployed&#8221; in violation of standards. Montpelier police shouldn&#8217;t add them to their arsenal of weapons. Those are the [...]]]></description>

If police want access to individuals’ drug records, we say, “Fine, get a warrant.” The Fourth Amendment – the [...]]]></description>
