What's with all the RPD in masks?!
Primary tabs
A number of times in the past weeks, I have observed and heard reports of "jump outs" by Rochester Police in masks. Presumably making drug arrests, with no way to identify themselves.
How legal is it for Police to conceal themselves while making arrests? At one bust, two weeks ago the police were questioned by witnesses as to why they were wearing masks, they replied that they were "working undercover". Tuesday night, when asked, a masked officer replied that, in jest, "its for anthrax" and "we're too pretty to show their faces"...
This with recent reports of drug raids on homes and stores in the city in which no drugs were found.
