More Police Misconduct in Benton Harbor

By TChris

ADVERTISEMENTS

Late last year, TalkLeft called attention to Benton Harbor, Michigan police officer Andrew Collins, who invented facts that he swore to be true in applications for search warrants. His misconduct caused seven convictions to be reopened and dismissed.
