Defendants, including Robert Weinberg, Sergio De La Mota and John or Jane Doe 1-10 illegally searched the Plaintiff and falsely arrested the Plaintiff for possession of marijuana. Plaintiff had not committed any crime or violation of law. Defendants used excessive force while arresting the plaintiff and battered the plaintiff including placing him under tight handcuffs. Plaintiff was transported to the 44th precinct where he was illegally searched, including a strip-search with cavity inspection, questioned, photographed and fingerprinted by the Defendants. Defendants Weinberg and De La Mota were involved in initiating an unjust criminal investigation against the Plaintiff. This action was taken as revenge for the Plaintiff's successful civil lawsuit against Weinberg, which had led to disciplinary measures against Weinberg and other consequences. Plaintiff was unlawfully detained until he was released on March 12, 2019. Plaintiff had to go to court multiple times to fight false charges, including Criminal Possession of Marijuana. On April 2, 2019, the Bronx Criminal Court dismissed the charges in the Plaintiff's favor. Defendants lacked a valid arrest warrant, had no probable cause for the arrest or seizure of the Plaintiff, and did not have grounds to believe that the prosecution would succeed or that the Plaintiff was guilty of any crime. Defendant officers Weinberg and De La Mota have a history of past constitutional violations and the risk of future misconduct but no action have been taken against them by NYPD.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240820235640/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=gflow_PLUS_YRkc8Q9BQr67XmsA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Cooke, Jason J. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-03-31","disposition_date":"2015-10-13","payout_amount":25000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV02281","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"De La Mota, Sergio A.","summary":"On March 9, 2019, Plaintiff was stopped and apprehended by Sergeant Stanley Lopez, simultaneously asking \"Where is the joint?\" Plaintiff said he knew nothing about a joint, however, Sergeant Lopez started yelling and Officer Delamota, who also approached, demanded for a joint as well. Officer Delamota then sprayed pepper spray in Plaintiff's eyes. Both Officers then grabbed the Plaintiff and threw him to the ground, holding him down and handcuffing him.
