The reason is they think drug dealers will buy them and then the police will have problems shooting them. Seems a little unfiar to me - we want to be able to shoot you - and hit skin right away...

I can't remember if the one in MD passed or not. I think 5 years in prison is ridiculous. It is already illegal to shoot cops - do they really think the criminal is going to go:

"Hmm, I can get the death penalty in MD for killing a cop, but geeze 5 years for the vest - count me out."

I guess they want to be able to arrest people BEFORE they do anything bad, but I am sure most of the people with bullet proof vests that are planning on using it in shoot outs - all ready own guns illegally.

Sorry to drone on. This from the state that makes adultry a crime - but it is a $10 fine. No spitting on railroad cars either - that is $3.00 I believe. And if you open someones mail - pay up $7.00 - $3.50 to the state and $3.50 to the "victim".

Never read anything about handcuffs, but you never know.
