Letter to the Editor: Police gun searches raise concern

The Boston Globe carries a letter today by Carol Rose, our Executive Director. It's about the Boston Police Department's so-called Safe Homes plan, in which police ask for people (in predominantly African-American neighborhoods) to allow them to search their homes for guns, without a warrant.

The program raises many civil liberties concerns. As Rose says:

Boston residents have the right to say no when the police come to their door without a warrant. And when they do, the police should leave.
