Conclusion Meanings:
'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Torres v. McMaster et al
Case # 17CV00293,
U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY
Complaint
Description: The plaintiff was a passenger in a car when the defendant stopped the car, instructed for everyone to exit the vehicle, and handcuffed all passengers. Then, the defendant searched the car without consent of the owner and without a search warrant. The plaintiff was taken to the 83rd precinct and charged with burglary in the third degree after the defendant viewed a video of an establishment that was burglarized. (At some time on the morning of December 8, 2014, the defendant applied for a search warrant, but items were already recovered.) The plaintiff was convicted of burglary in the third degree and was granted an appeal which is pending.
