In a rebuke of Baltimore County Councilman Izzy Patoka’s proposal to ban police officers from wearing masks, the Baltimore County Council Monday night rejected the legislation.
When Patoka made a motion to approve the legislation, no other member seconded it, so the bill died without a vote.
Patoka tried to salvage the bill by adding an amendment that would exclude county police officers from having to abide by the legislation. The council rejected that as well.
