Officers Brandon Prisk and Bernardo Toro Miramontes conducted a pretextual stop without articulating reasonable suspicion, claiming it was part of a weapons investigation.
The detained man stated he was not on parole or probation, yet officers proceeded with an unlawful Terry search.
When asked for identification, Officer Toro gave a false serial number (“404-4000” instead of “44517”) and refused to provide a business card. Although the man appeared to want to file a complaint, the officers left without initiating one.
