Maryland politicians are debating whether to outlaw the police "rough rides," which killed Freddie Gray in April 2015. The bill, supported by Sen. Joan Carter Conway, would require that police secure all passengers riding in a police custody van. Officers will face a $10,000 fine if they "seriously injured or kill" a prisoner who isn't buckled in. Vince Canales, the Maryland State Fraternal Order of Police president, admitted that there is a need for belting detainees, but he doesn't believe that officers should be fined $10,000 for their injuries.
