And we came across another tale of alleged police harassment this weekend. Michael Usher, a 33 year old Belmopan resident says since he was wrongly charged for burglary in 2012, police have been constantly harassing him - most recently wreaking havoc at his home in the Capital. Here's his story:..
Michael Usher
"I am getting repeated harassment from Belize Police Department in Belmopan for no reason. Every time something happens in Belmopan, the police come to my house and digs up my house. If the camera crew goes to my house right now, they will see where my door is broken off; my back and front doors are broken off. My house is totally dug up. Police always harass me for no reason and takes me to the police station for 48 hours and then they release me because they never have any charges on me."

"I have never done anything. The police don't have any charges on me from the past until now. The only charge that they have on me is what they gave me in 2012."
Usher says he came to the media because when he went to complain at Internal Affairs - they detained him and took him to the police station where he was locked up for 48 hours.
