The NYPD did the same things during the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011. A guy I know said he was just out walking and the cops appeared out of nowhere and blocked access with that orange construction netting. They hauled everyone away to one of the docks on the west side and kept them there for days before any of them saw a judge.

Sorry that happened to you. If it helps, I'm still fucking pissed about it.
FYI to everyone reading this, this happened to a lot of people in NYC. Cities across the country really. In a bottle, it's enough to spark protests but because it happened during the height of the protests, it feels like it was forgotten.
I was living in Philly and same shit. Heard Chicago and NYC were even worse.
Those PD's will never be able to improve in my mind. I don't see how - those unions are way too powerful and police have special rules that most union members do not. Hope they get chased out of the cities they police and back into the suburbs that they reside. They and their unions are a stain on this country and if they were more human they would probably feel enough shame to have a collective heart attack.

Yep. They treated you guys like cattle. That period of time was the most horrified I've been of events in the US in my lifetime, and the way cops were rounding people up was a big reason for that (again to everyone here: no one knew where these people were taken. I had friends that i lost contact with for days. Had to file missing persons reports. How ironic due to where those reports go). Pretty much convinced me this country will not be coming back.
Still gonna give a shit about it all though.

Oh yeah they are and were fine, it's just a ridiculously brazen move. They were arresting, beanbagging, and pepperspraying people who weren't even protesting, let alone rioting. A lot of the cops in Philly were just out there to hurt people because their feelings were hurt, and they were having fun doing it. And since then they haven't even worked.
Anyways - I'm glad to now live in NYC where our police are so much better.... lol. Cheers mate.

This didn't happen in NYC, but during Occupy a coworker of mine was biking home after work in Oakland and cops clothes-lined him off his bike, zip tied him, tossed him in a van and took him a whole county over
Dude just had a black hoodie on and was only guilty of living in the general vicinity of Occupy Oakland and apparently that was all it took
He missed the next day of work and had to call in from jail
Cops lie all the time. They arrest people without probable cause. All. The. Time. They can't be trusted, and they absolutely will do whatever it takes to spin things in their favor and most media outlets generally go along with it
People in this subreddit will often act otherwise, but during the BLM protests the cops were putting out overwhelming shows of force for every little tiny demonstration, while simultaneously looking the other way when looters were hitting up 5th ave. They absolutely had the manpower to prevent opportunistic looting like that, they just choose not to because they know damn well who will get blamed for it. Whether crime goes up or down doesn't matter, they spin it to their benefit either way
All cops care about is maintaining and growing their own power, that's it. They don't care about helping you, or preventing crime, or keeping the city safe at all. As far as they're concerned, you're all sheep, civilians, potential perps, and anything they do to you is justified just because, occasionally, they actually arrest someone who deserved it
I'm personally convinced the overwhelming and unaccountable power local police has accumulated in the US is a direct threat to democracy, but here we are still shoveling billions their way while everything else crumbles

But if you filed a lawsuit against the NYPD—which maybe you should consider, if you haven’t already considered it—I would say exactly what I said about this lawsuit: that I have no specific reason to doubt the allegations and, and I could certainly see the allegations being true in whole or in part, but I would still want to hear the other side.

ok so i heard this interview on NPR this morining - firstly the guy was arrested in Albany NY - the NYPD doesnt arrest there; they cant, they are a city agency; he was turned over to the city for a warrant that existed in NYC and he was turned over to the Dept of Corrections which is done when you are arrested for an arrest for an outstanding warrant - esp from another agency.
this occurs with almost every person that is arrested from another agency and has an outstanding warrant in NYC and taken into custody - and from the looks of the article each of the "plaintiffs" were apprehended by some other agency and turned over to the city for "custody" ....
sounds like this is more of a problem with dept of Corrections- because essentially the Dept of Corrections controls who ( as in prisoners ) is presented at court for hearings that are IN custody - NOT the Police.
i realize this is just whistling in the wind for some people - but ultimately this article and the assertion in the NPR interview is extremely deceptive and a distortion of the actual policy and what occurs when someone has a warrant in NYC and comes into contact with the NYPD ( or MTA police or Port Authority ) - they do actually take you directly to Court - NOT Rikers ...
the problem isnt the NYPD the problem is how the courts function with people who are in custody - why the NYPD is soley being focused on is kinda indicative of someones agenda rather than truthfully conveying the facts that are in the article once you actually read it.

Turbulent_Link1738 t1_ir32le7 wrote
The distinction is Rikers is a correction facility for post arraigned prisoners. Ideally, anyone in Rikers is serving a minor sentence or waiting for trial after not being able to make bail, or legit warrants for skipping bail or violating parole. Anyone just scooped off the street is supposed to be held in criminal court central booking aka “downtown”. No one should be held there more than 2-3 days under normal circumstances, for the purpose of deciding whether bail is appropriate. Rikers wait is in the months and years to determine guilt or sentence.

I have a pretty good idea that they are not going to go out and admit in a public statement that they violated state law and peoples' civil rights. I'd say it doesn't take much of a brain to figure out why. They lose in court automatically if they do that. So instead, they will opt to release a nothing-burger that will basically say "we work tirelessly to respect/defend peoples' civil rights etc etc etc NYPD is troubled by the complaints (MAYBE) but we will follow due process and defend our officers conduct blah blah blah." Think I missed anything?

Ouity t1_ir29ay2 wrote
A motion to dismiss happens when a case is legally invalid. Like, when you are making a claim that has no legal remedy, or which does not point to an actual law, or is a misreading of a law, you can just file to dismiss the case. Since there are multiple claimants filing under a lawyer who are pointing to specific circumstances which would, if true, be violations of this law, I do not think their case is going to be dismissed on procedural grounds. And if the NYPD tries to argue their claims are meritless and invalid, I will love to read that. It's definitely not what I guessed, so that would be cool for you.
I did not assume you were talking about a motion to dismiss because from where I'm sitting, a judge would rule against a motion to dismiss this case and allow it to enter discovery, since discovery of evidence is the only way to actually ascertain whether the claims presented are factual. The claims presented are definitely in violation of the law.

Sure, maybe in this one specific case, it's a frivolous lawsuit, but you're missing the forest for the trees. Police do this shit so often that it's statistically far more likely that it's all true. And in any case, public trust has been completely eroded by their own hand. They are wayyyyy beyond the "let's give them the benefit of the doubt" phase.

He got out of jail using the correct judicial mechanism: get a judge to issue an order to release him.
But they took more than two weeks to even ask a judge for that, and now they are suing for the "trauma" that extended time has caused.
