United States v. Fagan
In this case, the ACLU is supporting Damon Fagan, a victim of racial profiling. We argue the District Court of Maine erred when it didn’t take into account Trooper Darcy’s pattern of racial profiling when assessing the credibility of his testimony.

Defending the Right to Remain Silent During Police Interrogations — State of Maine v. Derric McLain
We filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that Maine's constitution should provide stronger protection for Miranda rights than current federal law. You have rights when you are interrogated by the police, and police should never be allowed to violate your rights and coerce a confession.
