Summary

On January 30, 2019, at approximately 12:20am, [redacted] was driving with his girlfriend, [redacted] when he was stopped by PO Rafael Santos, PO Jordan Moses, PO David Ramirez, and PO Kimberly Rose, who were assigned to the 48th Precinct (Allegation A: Abuse of Authority-[redacted]). After a brief interaction, the officers returned to their vehicle without issuing any summonses.
