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.
'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.

The passenger elected to file charges against Plaintiff who was arrested, brought to the 103rd Precinct, and charged with Third Degree Assault and Second Degree Harassment, which were later dismissed.
