Further details on conclusions.

[redacted] friend, [redacted] rode in the front passenger's seat and [redacted] boyfriend, [redacted] rode in the rear passenger's seat. PO Cameel Quallis and PO Jonathan Martinez of the 88th Precinct observed that the vehicle had a faulty rear brake light and subsequently stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Park Avenue and Waverly Avenue in Brooklyn.

PO Kosta explained to [redacted] that one of the officers had recovered an illegal knife from the vehicle.
