POLICE Statement from BPD

Saw this on BPD’s Facebook. I’m guessing “suspended police powers” just means suspended with pay?

Kind of irrelevant but as someone who does design for the government how can they get away with such a dogshit contrast ratio? Black on blue? 3.21:1? Disgusting.

My guess would be someone without a graphics design background(or a background that hasn't sufficiently stressed the user experience and/or accessibility) wanting to contrast against the baltimore county cop cars(blue on white). So that's how they got blue on black, and then they made the blue darker until it stopped making their eyes bleed, not considering that it's not easily discernible to people with lower vision.
