Defendants Har and John Doe No. 1 were in plain clothes and, without displaying a shield or identifying themselves as police officers, demanded that the plaintiff show them what was in his pockets. The plaintiff, while scared and believing he was being robbed, pulled out his keys and held them up in the air, dropped his bicycle and then ran away. Defendants chased plaintiff and, during the chase, plaintiff noticed a marked police car coming toward him while Defendant Doe yelled at him to get on the ground. At this point, plaintiff realized he was being chased by a police officer and complied, dropped his keys, lowered himself to the ground and put his hands in the air. Defendant Doe caught up to the plaintiff, pushed him down onto the ground and pushed his face into the sidewalk by placing his foot on the plaintiff's neck while his hands were behind his back. One or both of the defendants handcuffed the plaintiff. When the plaintiff repeatedly told Defendant Doe that he could not breathe, Defendant Doe replied, \"Well, you're talking, aren't you?\" Defendant Doe kept the plaintiff pinned to the ground for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. One or both of the defendants patted the plaintiff down over his clothes and under his clothes. On the street and in public view, one or both of the defendants pulled the plaintiffs shorts and underwear away from his body to look inside and use their hand to search the plaintiff's shorts. When the plaintiff asked what was going on, Defendant Doe replied several times in sum and substance \"Shut the fuck up.\" Plaintiff was then placed in the marked police car and defendants questioned him. He explained whey he ran and informed them of his plans for the day. Defendants informed plaintiff that they approached him because he was coming out of a burglary zone, but there were no burglaries in said area within said timeframe. Plaintiff was then transported to the 109th precinct where he was searched (under his underwear) in front of other individuals in the cell. Plaintiff was never given the opportunity to make a phone call from the precinct. Without giving Miranda warnings, Defendant John Doe No. 3 questioned plaintiff about burglaries, guns and drugs. Plaintiff was transported to Central Booking where he remained until the following day. Plaintiff's case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. Despite having a property release and having tried several times to retrieve his bicycle, defendants told plaintiff that they did not know where is bicycle was and that it may be gone due to flooding from Hurricane Sandy in the building where the property is kept. Plaintiff missed his job-interview at Rite-Aid and was told the following day that the position was filled. Plaintiff's case was dismissed and sealed on March 19, 2013.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.350379/gov.uscourts.nyed.350379.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13050553/conley-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Saperstein v.
