Perhaps the reason is the Maryland Law Enforcement Officer's Bill of Rights. Under the Maryland Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights, when an officer is under investigation for a matter that could lead to disciplinary action, supervisors are prohibited from interviewing the accused for 10 days. Further, disciplinary action can only happen after a hearing board of the officer's colleagues.

In other words they have ten days for all the officers involved to get their version of what happened straight. Do you suppose other Maryland residents are allowed that much time to get their alibi nailed down before the police question them?
