Further details on conclusions.
On November 27, 2015, in the vicinity of Osborn Street and Riverdale Avenue, in the Bronx, [redacted] was pulled over by PO Marlon Sanchez, PO Gamalier Baez, and PO Sheena Lawrence of the 73rd Precinct (Allegation A). PO Sanchez approached the driver's side window of the vehicle and when asked, informed [redacted] that he had been driving a little fast on Mother Gaston Avenue (approximately a block away from the stop location). Officers also stated that [redacted] windows were tinted.
During the interaction, PO Sanchez asked [redacted] to roll down his passenger's side window, so his partner, PO Baez could also hear what was going on, but [redacted] refused. PO Sanchez also stated aloud to [redacted] that he was trembling. PO Sanchez then asked [redacted] to step out of his vehicle. [redacted] asked if he was being detained, and PO Sanchez did not answer but again asked [redacted] to step out of the vehicle. [redacted] continued to ask if he was being detained, and PO Sanchez responded by asking him to step out of the vehicle several times, until PO Baez ultimately stated to [redacted] "Yes you are being detained." [redacted] then stepped out of his vehicle and PO Baez allegedly frisked and searched [redacted] pants pockets (Allegations B and C).
[redacted] was then escorted to the rear of his vehicle where he stood with PO Sanchez and PO Lawrence. While he was at the rear of the vehicle, PO Baez allegedly searched [redacted] vehicle (Allegation D). At the time of the vehicle search, [redacted] allegedly requested both PO Sanchez's and PO Lawrence's names and shield numbers and they did not provide it (Allegations E and F).
[redacted] returned to his driver's seat, and was released without a summons or arrest.
