To prevent the driver, [redacted] identified by Sergeant Gonzalez of the Brooklyn Warrants Section as a New York City Marshals liaison to the NYPD and by Detective Steve Richards, also of the Brooklyn Warrants Section, as a New York State parole officer, from parking on the sidewalk, [redacted] stood near the rear bumper of the car such that it could not reverse any further.
