Hello. Today I, 20 yrs old college student, was stopped by 4 NYPD cops for riding my bicycle on the sidewalk while going to college in brooklyn NY. I went on the sidewalk because there was a double park on a small road where the opposite traffic was coming my way, so I went on the sidewalk until I pass the double parked car. The cops told me to stop, and without telling me anything further, they started searching my pockets and my book bag. When I asked one of the officers why am I being searched, he told me "Shut your mouth". Then after searching me he said you could've have weapons and told me that they stopped me because I was driving my bike on the sidewalk. That officer then went on and tells me that since I was being a "dick"( just for asking why am I being searched) he is going to issue me a summons. Then I told him I am being late for class, he replies and says "good, now you will be 2 times more late". This officer then tells me I watch too much law and order where I replied that I don't watch that show at all. Then this officer goes on and says I would've arrested you but since theirs no space in the jail I will let you go. WOW...ARREST ME FOR DRIVING MY BIKE ON SIDEWALK....CAN THEY DO THAT? All these 4 officers were gathered around me. Then came along another van with like 2-3 more cops who also surrounded me. Total of about like 6-7 cops were surrounded by me. Instead of going after real crime or going after the guy who was double parked, they surround me like I am some serial killer with a AK-47 on me. They tell me that I wouldve taken your bike but I will let it go. I need help to solve this abuse problem. I dont really care about the legal offense which I admit is my mistake and will take full responsibility to comply with any thing I have to do to remedy that offense. What I need help is in how should I go about and make my voice heard about these cops who used excessive force, abuse of authority, discourtesy, and profane language on me. They tried to intimidate me. I was emotionally distressed and really scared. Someone please let me know the procedures that I can take in NY to have these cops face the law for their ruthless behavior so I can have justice prevail for me. Also, I have the badge number and name of the cop who cursed at me and told me to shut my mouth. I would REALLY GREATLY appreciate all the help I can get from everyone. THANKS!
