$24,000.00 to a couple whose Brooklyn home was wrongfully targeted by the police
Approximately 15 police officers in riot gear stormed and ransacked clients’ home looking for hard drugs and an individual of a completely different description who did not live or stay there. Clients told police they have the wrong house and that there were no drugs or weapons in their home. Police yelled and aimed guns at clients who were peacefully sitting in their bedrooms. Police barged in on a man using the bathroom and slammed him into the wall. Police heckled the man and would not let him change his clothes during the arrest. Police arrested the Grandfather and eventually let him leave the precinct on his own and without the aid of a social worker or family member. Clients were subjected to searches and confined for a lengthy time in overcrowded jail and central booking cells prior to their release and the case being dismissed.
