Defendants ignored the Plaintiff, then proceeded to illegally search him, before violently contorting his arms behind his back to affix metal handcuffs too tightly to Plaintiff’s wrists. Plaintiff was then transported to the NYPD 34th Precinct, the Manhattan Detention Complex, and Rikers Island, respectively. Plaintiff was illegally detained for approximately two years until he was released on or about August 3, 2022.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=_PLUS_LRl7YsFxfTKa7fT/L9knQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Voltaire, Pierre vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-10-07","disposition_date":"2017-09-25","payout_amount":18000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"16CV07790","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Pedroza, Jorge","summary":"Plaintiff was identified by a robbery victim as a possible suspect of the robbery in a photo array.
