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.
'Substantiated': The alleged conduct 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' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Zero Disposition
Complaint, complaint
Description: Plaintiff was driving and trying to merge onto the Van Wyck Expressway when a police vehicle nearly collided with him going against traffic. He followed the police vehicle in order to tell the Police Officer that his driving could have caused an accident. The Defendant Officer refused to provide the Plaintiff with his shield number or name. A week later Plaintiff received a traffic ticket for spending three seconds at the same intersection where he was the previous week. He testified about the unfair ticket, but the judge ruled against the plaintiff. The following week, Plaintiff received a traffic ticket for running a red light from Defendant Officer, even if he did not do so.
