Description

In Maryland the State has the privilege to withhold from disclosure the identity of persons who furnish information to police officers concerning the commission of crimes. This general rule was recognized in Drouin v. State, 222 Md. 271 and reaffirmed in Gulick v. State, 252 Md. 348. "That the government has this privilege is well established, and its soundness cannot be questioned." 8 Wigmore, Evidence (1961) Â§ 2374, p. 762. Its purpose is the furtherance and protection of the public interest in effective law enforcement. Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S. 53, 59.
