Posted on by admin

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — On October 5 at approximately 5 PM, the Pennsylvania State Police colluded with the Downingtown Police Department to commit crimes against a citizen. The incident started when the Pennsylvania State Police made an illegal stop of a vehicle headed westbound on Route 322 prior to Boot Road. The victim was forced to take field sobriety tests though he clearly was not under the influence.

After the victim successfully passed the tests, the State Police officer called in a unit from the Downingtown Police Department. For no apparent reason, the officer from Downingtown insisted on administering a breathalyzer test. The officer had trouble getting the unit to function properly; nevertheless, it was administered. Multiple attempts were made to obtain a reading. Then, the State Police officer said, “it registered way over the limit”. At that time, the officer assaulted and restrained the victim against his will.

Two more State Police officers arrived on the scene. The victim was administered yet another breathalyzer test from a different unit. It was determined that the victim was not driving under the influence, and he was released without being given a citation.

Anyone with information on Pennsylvania State Police or Downingtown Police Department corruption is asked to contact investigators.
