Complaint
Description: On October 25, 2017, Shaheim Rogers, Bevon Benn, and Sianna Stewart were waiting for a friend inside a rental Zipcar outside of an apartment building. Officers Fagan, Patel, Khitab, and Does approached the car, ordered everyone outside, tightly handcuffed them, searched them, searched the Zipcar, and searched Sianna's wallet.
