The cameras were bought with forfeiture money that needs no council vote, and they were bagged by a mayor who needed none either. Why both were lawful, and why the data does not come back.
The public discipline list shows four sustained matters, including a September 2025 untruthfulness finding resolved by a suspension held in abeyance for a year. The arrest came inside that year.
A 37-year-old died waiting in registration at a Steward hospital where inspectors found eight nurses for 90 patients two weeks later. The suit names the nurse and the doctor because the company that staffed the ER is in bankruptcy.
Three weekend items and the legal question inside each: what the POST Commission does with an officer's OUI arrest, why a non-credible threat is still a crime for a 17-year-old, and why a strike vote is not a strike.
Sixteen documented, 25 by the ACLU's count. Watertown to Boylston, with the dates, the officer-misuse cases behind the exodus, and the House bill that would set the first statewide rules.
The standing record of United States v. Farwell: the grooming allegations, why a Canton death is a federal case, the strangulation experts the defense wants excluded, and the calendar through jury selection on October 5.
