Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The alleged conduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Zero Disposition
Complaint
Description: On December 11, 2014, Officer Lalchan Singh approached Andre Moore and knocked on his car window. Singh asked for a driver’s license and registration and stated that Moore’s windows were tinted too dark, and he would be receiving a ticket. Moore refused on grounds of his 4th and 5th amendment rights. Lieutenant Caine arrived and Moore repeated the same refusal. Caine told Singh to “lock this guy up.” Singh handcuffed Moore and searched the vehicle before taking him to the precinct. Charges against Moore were later dismissed.
