Summary

On March 3, 2017, at approximately 7:15 p.m., PO Eduard Nogol and PO Roman Vilnyanskiy of the 62nd Precinct stopped [redacted] – who was operating as an Uber driver at the time – in the vicinity of 2079 86th Street in Brooklyn because his high beams were on (Allegations A and B). During the vehicle stop, PO Nogol allegedly opened the driver's side door and manipulated [redacted]'s headlights in order to turn off his high beams (Allegation C). Afterward, PO Nogol and PO Vilnyanskiy observed that one of the headlights was not functioning. PO Nogol obtained [redacted]'s license and registration and returned to the police vehicle, allegedly closing the trunk to [redacted]'s vehicle on his way back to his RMP; [redacted] believed PO Nogol opened the trunk at some point after opening [redacted]'s door (Allegation D). PO Nogol returned to [redacted] and asked him for the trip sheet, and [redacted] explained that he did not have one because he uses the Uber app. PO Nogol then requested that [redacted] show him his fire extinguisher, after which [redacted] exited his vehicle, opened his trunk, and showed PO Nogol the fire extinguisher (within Allegation D). PO Nogol then requested that [redacted] show him the first-aid kit, but [redacted] told him that he did not have one. PO Nogol issued [redacted] four summonses: two VTL summonses for failing to dim his headlights and for the broken headlight, and two C-summonses for not having a trip sheet and for not having a first-aid kit (Allegations E and F). Read report for details.
