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.
'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.

Description: On July 23, 2011, Plaintiff was walking down the hall when lawfully visiting his friend's residence when officers, including Officer Justin R. Lopez, approached him. The officers threw Plaintiff up against the wall and unlawfully searched him. They recovered no contraband. Plaintiff asked the officers why they were harassing him, but was told to shut up. He was placed in handcuffs and transported to the precinct. At the precinct, the officers, including Officer Lopez, falsely informed the DA's Office that they had observed Plaintiff tampering with evidence. Plaintiff's criminal charges were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal.
