Further details on conclusions.
On September 4, 2015, at approximately 1:33 a.m., PO Timothy Rizzo and PO James Gherardi, both of the 113th Precinct, stopped [redacted] who was driving a rental vehicle, near the intersection of Baisley Boulevard and Bedell Street in Queens (Allegations A and B). PO Rizzo and PO Gherardi both testified that upon approaching the vehicle, they shined their flashlights in the vehicle, and noticed a bottle of liquor therein, on the floor of the backseat. PO Rizzo then asked [redacted] to exit the vehicle, and consequently frisked him (Allegation C). While [redacted] was speaking to PO Rizzo, PO Gherardi searched his vehicle, but the extent of this search remains in dispute (Allegation D). [redacted] reported that at this point, he requested PO Rizzo's name and shield number, and PO Rizzo allegedly ignored his request (Allegation E). Read report for details.
