In July 2008, the ACLU of Maryland made public "shocking" documents obtained through a public information lawsuit, revealing that then Maryland State Police engaged in covert surveillance of local peace and anti-death penalty groups for over a year from 2005-2006. The documents showed that the MSP engaged in surveillance operations against peaceful activists, similar to those abandoned in the 1970s with the end of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's infamous COINTELPRO program.

In the months that followed, the ACLU's lawsuit revealed that MSP investigated and falsely labeled many peaceful activists and advocacy organizations in Maryland as suspected terrorists in a law enforcement database, including Red Emmas.
