'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Settlement
Description: A neighbor falsely reported that Plaintiff 1 had a gun on him and was harassing her, when in reality he was visiting home and catching up with his sister, Plaintiff 2. The police arrived at the home and broke down the door, dragged Plaintiff 2 outside and handcuffed Plaintiff 1. Both plaintiffs were taken to the 113th Precinct and the house was searched without a warrant. The unspecified charges against both plaintiffs were dismissed. In addition to this incident, in an earlier encounter the same officers had entered their home without a warrant and destroyed the property in such a way where it was uninhabitable during the time of its repairs. The officers mocked the plaintiffs for the previous incident.
