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.

Complaint
Description: On January 25, 2020, plaintiffs were walking down the street when an unmarked car drove up to them. A number of undercover officers got out of the car and approached plaintiffs. One of the officers seized Plaintiff 1, held him on a car, and searched him. The search turned up nothing illegal, but the officer nonetheless handcuffed Plaintiff 1. When Plaintiff 1 asked why he was being arrested, the officer stated, "I don't know. We'll find out at the station." Another officer searched Plaintiff 2 and placed him up against a fence as he continued to search his person.
