  on Maryland Court System Arbitrarily Decides Public Should No Longer Have Access To Police Officers' Names
  Chief Judge Barbera took responsibility for the mistake, too, because the Court should have reviewed it. Here's her statement: https://www.mdcourts.gov/sites/default/files/files/import/media/newsitem/2018/20180306rulesorderstat ement.pdf
  
  The rule change has been implemented and access to officer names has been restored: https://www.mdcourts.gov/media/news/2018/pr20180308
  
  Here's the text of the rule order itself:

  I would be very surprised if this was purposeful by the Court or Chief Judge Barbera. It could be that one person on the Rules Committee snuck it in. But I'm not convinced there's malice here.
