A Wrentham Police Department report confirms that Canton PD Chief Helena Rafferty was driving a town owned vehicle for recreational purposes when she ran over an elderly man in a crosswalk who was wearing reflective gear and walking with a cane. The report redacts her address but doesn't redact the victim's. She made no mention of this since it happened 7 weeks ago. The Select Board had to have known since she was required to report it, and the town's insurance would've paid for the damages. The entire Board of Selectmen, including 2 who are running for re-election tomorrow, all supported Rafferty and voted against the audit of the Police Department. The corruption never ends in Canton. https://tbdailynews.com/canton-coverup-part-321-wrentham-police-report-shows-canton-police-chief-helena-rafferty-covered-up-hitting-elderly-man-in-crosswalk-while-driving-town-owned-vehicle/
In a major victory for the First Amendment a federal judge has ruled that many aspects of Auntie Bev's buffer zone violate the First Amendment, and that police were in the wrong when they arrested Erica Walsh, told Jason Grant he couldn't hold a bible quote, manhandled Tom Derosier for filming, and told Michael Bryant he couldn't walk in the buffer zone. The buffer zone still exists, but the Gestapo tactics from Sgt. Hardman inside of it are officially over. None of this would be possible without the hard work of Marc Randazza and the Center for Liberty. https://tbdailynews.com/2025/05/29/canton-coverup-part-516-federal-judge-reprimands-state-police-for-wrongly-enforcing-beverly-cannones-unconstitutional-buffer-zone/
