The Plaintiff was operating a used 2004 Lexus which he lawfully purchased in Hillside, New Jersey less than two weeks earlier. At the time of the purchase, the dealer issued the Plaintiff a 20-day Non-Resident Temporary Registration and Marker after the Plaintiff provided proof that he had full insurance coverage and a valid driver's license. The Non-Resident Temporary Registration and Marker was valid until March 18, 2012 and it was affixed to the rear windshield of the 2004 Lexus. The Defendants arrested the Plaintiff despite having no probable cause, and despite the Plaintiff's documents being in order, having a valid Temporary Registration and Marker, and having committed no traffic infractions. \n\nThe Defendants ripped the Temporary Registration and Marker from the rear windshield of the Plaintiff's car and they took him to the 120th Precinct and later to Central Booking in Staten Island. On March 10, 2012, Plaintiff was arraigned in Staten Island Criminal Court on a charge of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the third degree based on a complaint, sworn by Defendant Ochoa, which falsely alleged that he found a \"forged New Jersey Temporary Tag\" affixed to the rear windshield of the Plaintiff's car. The Plaintiff pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance, and then had to make three court appearances over the next seven months to defend himself against the false charge. On October 10, 2012, the charge against the Plaintiff was dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.367250/gov.uscourts.nyed.367250.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13242134/johnson-v-ceparano/"},{"name":"Bessay, Josolo vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-06-17","disposition_date":"2014-04-22","payout_amount":17000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"150342/2013","court":"Supreme Court - Richmond","officer_name":"Ochoa, Eduardo"},{"officer_name":"Ochoa, Eduardo","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-08-09","disposition_date":"2013-03-27","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","docket":"12CV03639","name":"Smith, Jerome vs City of New York, et La.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.332672/gov.uscourts.nyed.332672.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"payout_amount":35000,"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/12957533/smith-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"id":"9E3R","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/9E3R"}
