“A 26-year-old New York City man says he plans to sue the city for unlawful arrest after NYPD officers pulled him over in the Bronx and refused to give him any reason for the stop. Ben Farias was ordered out of the car, but he left his phone in the cupholder to record the search. The video includes one cop admitting ‘I don’t know why we pulled him over.’
‘Just put “cocaine test,”‘ the other says, ‘That’s what you put.
‘That’s how you write the summons,’ says the first, laughing.
All the cops found was a cookie—you can hear them mention it in the video—and the New York Daily News reports they ultimately arrested Farias for driving with an expired license, even though he showed them paperwork proving his license was good.” *
