Synopsis: The Rumford Police Department pulled over this Rumford, Maine citizen for a taillight out. As evidenced by the video… a traffic stop was quickly escalated by the Rumford PD for NO REASON ending in police brutality. The unconstitutional and unethical behavior is absolutely shocking to us. This citizen was abused by the police like it’s normalized in this Stephen King town. He was initially charged with failure to provide insurance. We watched the cops not even give this young man a chance to get the paperwork for them before they threatened him, ripped him out of his car, and threw him on the ground. According to the Rumford citizen, they changed the charges and ultimately charged him with obstruction of government. Finally he reports they also broke the driver’s side door. And there is another video that demonstrates they covered up his phone with a piece of cloth to hide their misdeeds. They didn’t even care that this man was recording them the entire time. They said they were recording him too. We’re watching authoritarian rule with zero accountability in the corrupt Home Rule Law State of Maine. We will be closely monitoring this situation with this citizen. And we will be reporting our findings. The bottom line is they are ruining Maine citizen’s futures with trumped up charges because they enjoy being mean and they profit from turning good citizens, who also may be disabled and poor, into criminals.
