Civil rights group files complaint against Medford police, alleging illegal traffic stop of two Black residents
A civil rights group filed an internal complaint Monday against the Medford Police Department on behalf of two Black residents whom the organization says were unlawfully stopped and detained at gunpoint by officers on a public street last July based on a “vague anonymous tip” about a firearm in their car.
No gun was recovered, according to a statement from Boston-based Lawyers for Civil Rights, which filed a complaint on behalf of Medford residents Jeremiah Mamousette and Hibaq Warsame, both college students. They were 19-year-old recent Medford High graduates when they were stopped in a car on the afternoon of July 8, the complaint says. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/09/metro/civil-rights-group-files-complaint-against-medford-police-alleging-illegal-traffic-stop-two-black-residents/
