The defendants forcibly removed the plaintiff from the vehicle without any legal basis and conducted an illegal search. They alleged an illegal firearm was found on another occupant but falsely attributed its possession to the plaintiff. Despite knowing he was not in possession of any firearm, the defendants arrested the plaintiff by contorting his arms behind his back and affixing excessively tight handcuffs.\n\nThe plaintiff was taken to the 33rd precinct, where he was illegally searched, degraded, strip-searched, and subjected to a cavity inspection, during which he was made to be completely naked. The defendants fabricated evidence and falsely accused the plaintiff of criminal possession of a weapon in the second and third degrees. The plaintiff was then transferred to Central Booking and wrongfully incarcerated for approximately two years at Riker's Island until his release on July 10, 2019. All charges were eventually dismissed in favor of the plaintiff. Defendants who were present but not physically involved failed to intervene.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=94UeGeHY12zOaGkG25yQvw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Pryor, Michael vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-12-01","disposition_date":"2018-09-21","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"16CV08232","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Guzman, Danny R.","summary":"Plaintiff was helping his friend fix his legally parked car when defendant officers approached them, frisked them, and arrested them.
