The officers lied and accused plaintiff of having a warrant without asking or checking his identification. They then illegally searched his person, grabbed his body and contorted his wrists behind his back to tightly apply metal handcuffs. Plaintiff requested that the handcuffs be loosened, but the officers ignored his pleas. The officers proceeded to place plaintiff in a police vehicle and transport him to the 42nd precinct where he was fingerprinted, photographed, strip searched with attendant cavity inspection, and illegally interrogated without presence of counsel and being Mirandized. After approximately 24 hours, plaintiff was transported to central booking, where he was detained for additional 24 hours until his release on or about October 25th, 2023, without any charges.\n\nPlaintiff asserts that he was illegally targeted for violent retaliation because he is a black or African American male. This is part of a wider City practice of stopping African Americans and Hispanic or Latino individuals without probable cause or reasonable suspicion and then using excessive force in the process of unlawfully arresting said individuals.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=iWsG3MoeddnwilADQMznFg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/45KK-james-montana.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"108510","overtime":"34594","other":"22560","total":"165664"},"id":"45KK","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/45KK"}
