Plaintiff and four other individuals drove in a van back home to the Bronx. At E. 212th Street and White Plains Road, in the Bronx, the van was stopped by a NYPD cruiser. Officers ordered the occupants to exit the vehicle, and the occupants immediately complied. Plaintiff and the other occupants were patted down and searched, but no contraband was found. Plaintiff had to urinate, informed the officers, and waited an hour, before saying he had to go, and when he attempted to use a local restaurant bathroom, got tackled, handcuffed and ended up soiling himself. Two of the van passengers were given traffic tickets. Plaintiff was transported to the 47th Precinct, where he was charged with two violations. Plaintiff was released after an hour and given two summonses in Bronx Criminal Court. On March 13, 2014, there was a trial on both dockets in which defendant Dang appeared and testified against Plaintiff. After hearing all the evidence, the Judge immediately found Plaintiff not guilty and dismissed both matters.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.435705/gov.uscourts.nysd.435705.10.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13145292/johnson-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Evans, Jeniere K. vs Officer Dang, Viet, et al.","start_date":"2014-10-29","disposition_date":"2016-08-09","payout_amount":12500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV03212","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Dang, Viet","url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13245453/evans-v-dang/"},{"officer_name":"Dang, Viet","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2013-04-03","disposition_date":"2013-12-02","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","docket":"13CV02133","name":"Carey, Debra vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":10000,"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13054052/carey-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":"CVTZ","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/CVTZ"}
