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.

Complaint
Description: On June 18 2012, plaintiff was arrested by Detective Brown and charged in Queens County for telling defendant Statland "This is not over," which was perceived as a threat. It was unreasonable for the detective to have concluded that plaintiff was threatening Statland when the full evidence was taken into account. Charges were subsequently dropped.
