Further details on conclusions.
On May 19, 2015, at approximately 11:40 p.m., [redacted]'s vehicle was stopped in the vicinity of Boerum Street and Bushwick Avenue in Brooklyn by Sgt. John Coyle, PO Marcel Francis, and PO Hector Justinico of Patrol Borough Brooklyn North's Anti-Crime Unit (Allegation A). PO Justinico approached [redacted]'s driver-side window and informed [redacted] that his vehicle was stopped because his window tints were too dark and requested his identification, to which [redacted] provided his New Jersey driver license. Without conducting a warrant check, PO Justinico returned [redacted]'s license and directed him to exit his vehicle. Once [redacted] exited his vehicle, PO Justinico directed him to turn around and place his hands on top of his vehicle. PO Justinico proceeded to frisk [redacted]'s arms, torso, waistband, legs, and all four of his pants pockets (Allegation B). PO Justinico also searched inside all four of [redacted]'s pants pockets (Allegation C). Once the frisk and search were concluded, PO Justinico escorted [redacted] to the rear of his vehicle where Sgt. Coyle was standing. [redacted] then observed PO Francis searching inside his vehicle's glove compartment, center console, door panels, and underneath the front and back seats (Allegation D). [redacted] told the officers that he did not provide any consent for his vehicle to be searched and in response, PO Justinico stated, "Stop being a smart ass. As long as you're going to be a wise ass, where did you get your fucking law degree fam?" (Allegation E). [redacted] asked why his vehicle was being searched if he was pulled over for his window tints, but none of the officers provided a response. PO Francis exited [redacted]'s vehicle with a roll of parking ticket envelopes and asked [redacted] whether his record would show anything about his parking tickets. [redacted] told the officers that they could check his record if they wanted to, but he was already on a payment plan for the parking tickets. PO Francis returned the roll of parking ticket envelopes... Read report for details.
