Still without probable cause, they falsely accused Plaintiff to drive above the limit, request an ID and accused her of having fake/fraudulent tag. Defendants ignored Plaintiff's explanation and violently asked her to leave the car and exercised extreme unnecessary force to handcuff her. Defendants searched her person and car and didn't find any contraband but took her to the Precinct where she was illegal detained for 6h. They maliciously prosecuted plaintiff for crimes she did not commit.  DA declined to prosecute Plaintiff, likely due to a lack of probable cause for Plaintiff's arrest and on October 29,2021, all charges were dismissed and sealed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=xh0wfmiAeEglWVLZDFZDtg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"id":"N98M","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/N98M"}
