BREAKING: New docs reveal 100s of internal NYPD findings of false statements, improper invoicing of cash/drugs + other misconduct. 1 cop, accused of drug planting on body-camera before, had 2 findings of improperly documenting drug seizures the same year: https://gothamist.com/news/staten-island-da-releases-thousands-records-documenting-nypd-misconduct-and-dishonesty">https://gothamist.com/news/stat...
2/ These are different from civilian complaint records released by @propublica and @NYCLU. They describe internal NYPD investigations + came from @statenislandda due to work by @gideonoliver as part of a FOIL fight we& #39;ve been leading for months https://gothamist.com/news/new-york-citys-das-keep-secret-lists-of-cops-with-questionable-credibility">https://gothamist.com/news/new-...
3/ Officer Kyle Erickson, for example, faced light NYPD discipline twice for invoice discrepancies following two separate drug seizures. The same year he was seen twice on body-cameras appearing to plant marijuana on suspects @sydneyp1234 https://gothamist.com/news/staten-island-nypd-officers-accused-planting-marijuana-suspect-also-seen-weed-patrol-car-lawyers-say">https://gothamist.com/news/stat...
4/ As far as I& #39;m aware this release is the biggest single dump of records describing internal NYPD investigations, since @KendallTTaggart + @michaelhayes released a larger trove of raw NYPD documents in 2018: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kendalltaggart/secret-nypd-files-hundreds-of-officers-committed-serious">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/k...
6/ The docs also include new information kept internally by prosecutors on alleged instances of officers making false or inaccurate statements to prosecutors behind closed doors:
7/ We have not made the more than 4,000 released documents publicly available yet because they contain numerous names of civilians, prosecutors, phone numbers etc.
