Complaint, Amended Complaint, Second Amended Complaint
Description: Plaintiff and their friends were holding a celebration at the community garden. Police officers from the 46th Pct. who constantly harass them at the garden, rushed into the community garden, ordered people to lie on the ground, and then unlawfully searched and handcuffed them while other police officers destructively searched the garden. Although nothing illegal was found as a result of the police officers' unlawful search, the police officers nevertheless arrested Plaintiffs, took them to the 46th Precinct, unlawfully searched some of them, and falsely charged them with Disorderly Conduct. Charges were eventually dismissed.
