Conclusion Meanings:
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unable to Determine': The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Complaint
Description: On February 20, 2021, the two Plaintiffs were at home when POs Mcguirewright, Dillon, Zweifler, Minardi, Priore, and unknown POs 1-10 entered their home. The POs had obtained a search warrant by providing false and incomplete information to the authorizing judge. The POs did not have any probable cause or reasonable suspicion to arrest Plaintiffs, nor did they tell Plaintiffs what they were being arrested for. The two Plaintiffs were unlawfully detained for 48 and 6 hours, respectively. Over the course of these events, the POs applied excessively tight handcuffs to Plaintiffs' wrists and otherwise caused emotional and physical injuries to Plaintiffs. All charges against Plaintiffs were dismissed.
