Upon reaching Plaintiffs' car, the POs aimed their weapons at Plaintiffs, yelling obscenities and demanding that they exit their car.  The POs then dragged Plaintiffs from their vehicles and tightly handcuffed their wrists behind their back, ignoring or otherwise denying Plaintiffs' pleas to loosen them. \n\nThe POs then searched one of the Plaintiffs without cause or justification. The search yielded no contraband or any evidence of a criminal offense, so both Plaintiffs were released from physical custody. After this incident, the POs falsely accused one of the Plaintiffs of committing criminal offenses, and gave false information to the Bronx District Attorney so he would be charged.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=UOg9IjrxfKOIx8HClQWudQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Charleman, Melinda vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2022-12-27","disposition_date":"2025-10-08","payout_amount":12000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"819307/2022E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","summary":"On October 29, 2021, Plaintiff was lawfully present inside and driving her vehicle in Bronx, driving below the speed limit when Defendants, including KEVIN PEREIRA, JERRY CHOI, DARIAN WESLER and other unknown police officers, approached Plaintiff in their police vehicles and, using their police sirens and lights, pulled over and illegally stopped Plaintiff without probable cause or any legal justification whatsoever. Still without probable cause, they falsely accused Plaintiff to drive above the limit, request an ID and accused her of having fake/fraudulent tag. Defendants ignored Plaintiff's explanation and violently asked her to leave the car and exercised extreme unnecessary force to handcuff her. Defendants searched her person and car and didn't find any contraband but took her to the Precinct where she was illegal detained for 6h. They maliciously prosecuted plaintiff for crimes she did not commit.  DA declined to prosecute Plaintiff, likely due to a lack of probable cause for Plaintiff's arrest and on October 29,2021, all charges were dismissed and sealed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=xh0wfmiAeEglWVLZDFZDtg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"108510","overtime":"48179","other":"25962","total":"182651"},"id":"BGC3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/BGC3"}
