A helpful reminder to my fellow Mainers (and all Americans) 👇
The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.
Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.
So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.
