Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'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.

Case # 031624/2020E, Supreme Court - Bronx, October 9, 2020
Complaint
Description: On May 10, 2019, Plaintiffs were lawfully on the street when they were approached by officers without cause. Officers then unlawfully searched Plaintiffs' persons and falsely claimed to have found a firearm, weapon, and ammunition. All Plaintiffs were physically restrained by tight handcuffs and shoved into a transport vehicle. During interrogation, officers threatened Plaintiffs with imprisonment if they did not provide false evidence. All Plaintiffs were in custody for many hours before being released. All charges against all Plaintiffs were subsequently dismissed.
