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":"Monsanto, Luis vs City of Ny","start_date":"2022-09-06","disposition_date":"2026-02-27","payout_amount":12000000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"812925/2022E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","summary":"On March 6, 2022 Plaintiff was operating a motor vehicle at stopped at a red light at the intersection of Boston Roach and East 165th Street in the Bronx, when Defendant Officers approached Plaintiff in two unmarked NYPD vehicles, one of which rapidly moved in front of Plaintiff’s motor vehicle, blocking its path without warning lights activated.
