The plaintiff saw three men approaching and instinctively began to run, then realized they were police officers and stopped, putting his hands up. The defendants subjected the plaintiff and his friends to an unlawful pat-down search, claiming they matched the description of robbery suspects. The plaintiff and his friends were unlawfully arrested and handcuffed despite committing no crime or resisting arrest. The plaintiff was taken to the 81st precinct, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. During unlawful interrogation, officers claimed to have found a firearm in one of their backpacks, which the plaintiff knew nothing about. The plaintiff was falsely accused of criminal possession of a firearm. After 24 hours in custody, the plaintiff was arraigned in criminal court and released under supervision, but his confiscated iPhone was not returned. All charges were dismissed on March 4, 2021. Defendants who were present but not physically involved failed to intervene.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=fM4Z95DbVk5130gELGo6XA==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2022-11-17","case_no":"2022-26359","recommendation":"Charges and Specifications","allegations":[{"desc":"Deployed a taser outside Department guidelines."},{"desc":"Wrongful entry of a premises."},{"desc":"Wrongful seizure of a person's property."}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21029552-torres-ee49712f0dd49c3ccbb0e0c8561bfe20d9b85b12","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21066830-torres-958127","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22085970-seh_958127","type":"employment-history"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/Q2Y5-raul-torres.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"119314","regular":"115067","overtime":"42348","other":"14784","total":"172199"},"news":[{"url":"https://www.propublica.org/article/nypd-commissioner-edward-caban-police-discipline-retention-eric-adams","title":"New Yorkers Were Choked, Beaten and Tased by NYPD Officers.
