Plaintiff had arrived at arounf 3.30pm in his capacity as Jewish Community violence interrupter (a role to help de-escalate interactions between the police and civilians) as a shooting had happened there earlier that day. Plaintiff was directed by NYPD to park some distance from where the shooting had occurred and he complied. After completing his duties about an hour later he went to charge his phone in his car. He also grabbed a charger from his car for an acquaintance a few feet away. When he turned around there was a line of police blocking his way to his vehicle.

The officers falsely claimed there was no license plate on the back of the car, despite the plaintiff having affixed a temporary plate to the back window. The plaintiff offered to call the seller to address the officers' concerns, but they refused and demanded he step out of the car before immediately arresting him. The plaintiff was not informed of the basis for his arrest until much later, when the officers stated they believed the temporary plate was fraudulent. The plaintiff pleaded with the officers to allow him to contact the previous owner or have a friend pick him up, explaining he had no knowledge of the plate's origins, but was refused. Officer Weisenburger then pushed the plaintiff's legs into the patrol car, closed the door in his face, and threatened him. At the precinct, the plaintiff continued to protest his unnecessary arrest. Defendant Sergeant Miele lied, claiming the plaintiff was brought to the precinct for the Sergeant's convenience and that he would be allowed to call the seller and then be released. Instead, the plaintiff was falsely charged with one felony, two misdemeanors, two violations, and three infractions. He was held at the precinct for more than 24 hours before being taken to see a judge. All charges were dismissed in the plaintiff's favor on July 16, 2021. As a result, the plaintiff suffered damages.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=E8bTSaur4ErrAqXe2BGRVQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Burt, Anwar vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-03-12","disposition_date":"2020-01-14","payout_amount":35000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"501390/2019","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Miele, Charles","summary":"On October 21, 2017, plaintiff while lawfully in the vicinity of Broadway and Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY, was stopped, questioned, frisked, searched, falsely arrested, and falsely imprisonment by the defendant officers.
