Complaint
Description: On July 22, 2010, plaintiff was driving in the Bronx when he was pulled over by P.O. Santos and three further P.O.s and ordered out of the car. Without any probable cause or reasonable suspicion, plaintiff was searched and arrested. At the precinct, when plaintiff complained about his overly tight handcuffs, defendant P.O.s threaten the plaintiff with a taser. At Bronx Central Booking, defendant P.O.s submitted paperwork, falsely stating that plaintiff had violated New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law. The District Attorney declined to prosecute the case and plaintiff was released without charge.
