As it happened, Plaintiff drove in front of the first car in the left-most lane, which was an unmarked police car driven by PO Firpo. Plaintiff was pulled over by the police car and was issued a traffic ticket for \"unsafe lane change,\" despite the fact that he was driving safely and remained calm throughout the process. When the police car left, Plaintiff noticed that PO Firpo and PO Sanchezpolos were laughing in the car and PO Sanchezpolos was sticking up her\nmiddle finger at him. Plaintiff followed the police car with an intention to obtain PO Sanchezpolos's badge number to file a police misconduct report. Plaintiff was denied his right to do so, and both POs exited the police car. PO Firpo grabbed Plaintiff’s arms, and PO Sanchezpolos yanked and jerked his arms in the course of placing handcuffs on Plaintiff, who was not resisting arrest. PO Sanchezpolos squeezed the handcuffs so tight that they blocked blood circulation to Plaintiff’s right thumb. While PO Firpo loosened the handcuff, it was later tightened again by PO Menzione. Plaintiff was accused of carrying a gun and was unlawfully searched at the scene. During the search, PO Firpo slapped her hand away across Plaintiff’s crotch, delivering a shot of pain to Plaintiff’s groin.  Additional NYPD officers arrived at the scene, including Sgt. Corrado and other uniformed NYPD officers Several police officers, including PO Menzione and PO Conde, began rummaging through Plaintiff’s car. Plaintiff was later taken to the 20th Precinct and was continually teased and harassed by PO Firpo and PO Sanchezpolos. Plaintiff was issued a criminal charge summon at the Precinct. Plaintiff showed up at the Department of Motor Vehicles Traffic Violations Division and the Manhattan Criminal Court, Part AR 6, on August 27 and 29, 2014, respectively.
