What Is Police Misconduct?

Police misconduct occurs when law enforcement officers abuse their power, violate your rights, or break the law under the guise of enforcing it. In New York City, victims of police misconduct often face criminal charges, jail time, humiliation, and long-term trauma—all because an officer acted illegally or unethically.

Common examples of NYPD misconduct include:

• False arrest without probable cause
• Excessive or deadly force
• Illegal stop-and-frisk practices
• Racial profiling
• Unlawful searches and seizures
• Tampering with or planting evidence
• Coercive interrogations
• Fabricating reports or witness statements
• Using unreliable or dishonest witnesses
• Retaliation against civilians for recording police

Whether you were stopped on the street, arrested at home, or targeted because of your race or identity, our NYPD misconduct lawyers in NYC can help.

NYC Police Officers with Credibility Issues

Not all officers are honest. Some NYPD officers have been officially flagged for credibility concerns due to lying under oath, falsifying evidence, or other forms of misconduct. New York City’s District Attorneys maintain lists of officers with adverse credibility findings—these are public records and can be used to support your legal claim.

If your case involves one of these officers, it could significantly strengthen your case. We can investigate whether your arrest, search, or charges were tainted by a known bad actor.

Lists of Officers with Questionable Credibility

While most NYPD officers testify without issue, there are some officers who are found to distort the truth. New York City District Attorney’s offices maintain lists of officers with potential credibility issues and adverse credibility rulings. These are officers whose credibility has been questioned by judges.
