Belle, Terron, et al. vs City of New York, et al.
Case # 19CV02673,
U.S. District Court - Southern District NY, March 27, 2019, ended December 14, 2022
$453,733 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On various dates in 2017-2019, Plaintiffs, who represent a class of similarly situated individuals, were unlawfully stopped and searched by P.O.s Brian Destefano, Daniel Mardjonovic, Steven Barry, and John Does 1-50 without probable cause. Plaintiffs challenge the NYPD's unconstitutional policy of detaining people for the purpose of conducting a search of the NYPD's internal and external databases without individualized reasonable suspicion. These unwarranted digital searches disproportionately target people of color without being reasonably related to actual criminal activity.
