Further details on conclusions.
On March 16, 2015 [redacted] was driving his red 2006 Nissan Maxima on Lott Avenue in Brooklyn. As he waited at a red light to cross Rockaway Avenue, PO Jan Rogowski and PO Mathimohan Mohandas pulled him over. PO Mohandas explained that [redacted] had been stopped for his vehicle's illegally tinted windows. PO Mohandas took [redacted]'s license, registration, and insurance to the RMP, parked behind [redacted]'s vehicle. After only a few minutes, the RMP pulled up next to [redacted]'s [redacted], PO Rogowski told [redacted] that he and PO Mohandas had received an emergency call and told him to wait. [redacted] requested that the officers return his license, registration, and insurance to him before leaving. They did not return those materials to [redacted] and drove away, effectively detaining [redacted] at the intersection where they stopped him (Allegations A and B).
[redacted] waited approximately thirty to forty minutes before PO Rogowski and PO Mohandas returned. The two officers approached [redacted]'s vehicle and told [redacted] he was receiving a ticket for his illegally tinted windows. [redacted] asked PO Rogowski for his name and shield number, prompting PO Rogowski to drop the ticket, along with [redacted]'s license, registration, and insurance, through the passenger's side window onto the front passenger's seat (Allegation C). [redacted] again requested PO Rogowski's name and shield number, stating his intent to file a complaint against the officers. PO Rogowski allegedly said, "Oh yeah? That's why you want my information?" and walked away without providing his name or shield number (Allegation D). The officer returned to the RMP and drove away.
