Defendants unlawfully searched the entire vehicle, including the locked trunk and glove compartment of the vehicle. Defendants allege that they recovered a firearm from the locked trunk of the vehicle, pursuant to defendants unlawful search of the trunk. Although Plaintiff never possessed the firearm allegedly recovered from the trunk of the vehicle and Defendants unlawfully handcuffed plaintiff and falsely arrested him. Defendants unlawfully transported plaintiff against his will to the 79th Precinct whereat they unlawfully searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and detained plaintiff in a holding cell for many hours.
