Plaintiff showed the defendants his membership card verifying his enrollment in the program. Pursuant to New York Penal Section 220.03, it is legal to possess a hypodermic needle, with or without residue, if it was lawfully obtained. Referring to plaintiff’s needle-exchange program membership card, one of the defendants stated, in sum and substance, “I don’t give a fuck about that” and threw the card on the ground. Plaintiff was then handcuffed, falsely arrested and taken to the 41st precinct. Bail was imposed, which plaintiff could not post, and he was taken to Rikers Island.
