anonymous 12:08, If you hadn't noticed, 99% of these articles we publish are NOT associated with departments here on the Eastern Shore, yet many of you take offense to them. You shouldn't.

It is my job to bring forth information across the board. We also publish a LOT of great things local departments do.

So stop acting like we are cop haters and Firefighter haters, we're not. We publish the calls for service for ALL departments making us fair and balanced.

one thing I found that was not exactly accurate in the chart Joe. A search will definitely be made of a person upon arrest. Its called "search incidental to arrest". The chart indicated that if you are arrested you can only be searched
1) With a warrant
2) Frisk
3) Plain sight
4) Consentual
