MT. VERMIN?
A just-released United States Department of Justice report says Mount Vernon's policing practices violate the Constitution.
According to newly published reports, the U.S. Department of Justice found that the Mount Vernon Police Department routinely violates the constitutional rights of its residents, a result attributed to top-to-bottom dysfunction within the department.
DOJ says Mount Vernon police officers routinely use "unreasonable force" against arrestees and, until recently, regularly performed unjustified body cavity searches.
