Conclusion Meanings:
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'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.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Complaint
Description: On January 4, 2013, Plaintiff was lawfully present in his vehicle. PO Michael Urrita, PO James Doheny, PO Thomas Dunn, and other unknown officers opened his door and pulled him out of his vehicles. The officers then punched and beat Plaintiff, and handcuffed his arms tightly behind his head. The officers then continued to beat him and searched his vehicle without probable cause or any evidence. The officers then filled out knowingly false and misleading police reports, and gave false and misleading testimony about his arrest that Plaintiff had blocked a roadway, struck PO Doheny, and that they had recovered a knife from Plaintiff’s vehicle.
