Further details on conclusions.
On April 19, 2012, PO Kevin Martin and other officers drove by a building in the Bronx where there were some individuals in the lobby and some outside. The building was a so-called "Clean Halls" building (under this program, the NYPD would enter the hallways of private buildings with the permission of the landlord or management company and seek confirmation of residency from those in the hallways, then arrest people for trespassing if they could not prove they lived in the building). The officers entered the building and began interacting with the individuals.

PO Martin searched the man's pockets, removed the man's wallet from his rear pocket, took a picture of the man's identification, threw the identification on the floor, and left. The entire incident, as described above, was captured on the building's security cameras, which the CCRB obtained.
