1Opinion of the CourtRodowsky, J.
Petitioner, Nancy Austin Cover (Cover), was convicted of hindering "the Bethesda Special Assignment Team of the Montgomery County Police from performing their lawful duties” at a de novo, non-jury trial in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County on an appeal from her conviction in the District Court of Maryland.
