At approximately 11:25 a.m., while plaintiff was waiting for the A train, defendant NYPD officers, including Police Officer Manuel A. Garcia, searched Mr. Rivera without probable cause. Defendant police officers found a pocketknife in plaintiff’s pocket. Notwithstanding that the knife was a legal folding knife, defendants arrested Mr. Rivera and applied handcuffs to his wrists so tightly that it caused severe pain, discomfort and lacerations.\n\nWhile Mr. Rivera was at the 83rd precinct, Police Officer Garcia knowingly transmitted false information to the King’s County Attorney’s officer wherein he falsely claimed that plaintiff has possessed a switchblade knife. After several hours in custody in an unsanitary holding cell, plaintiff was brought before a judge for arraignment. Mr. Rivera was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and despite his plea of not guilty, he was required to appear in court multiple times until the charges were eventually dismissed on November 28, 2022.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.508914/gov.uscourts.nyed.508914.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68167513/rivera-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21056161-giglio_garcia-967886-03-03-21","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20743823-giglio_garcia209678862003-03-21","type":"brady-giglio"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/P2N3-manuel-garcia.jpg","id":"P2N3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/P2N3"}
