Detective Lorenz, a New York City Police Detective arrested plaintiff and charged her with possession of marijuana. After her arrest, plaintiff was separated from other arrestees and transported to various locations around the city for several hours by NYPD officers. During that time she was rear-handcuffed and seated in the back of a police car. According to plaintiff, no safety device was used to protect her from possible injury. At some point during her detention,
plaintiff's shirt began to slip off her shoulder. She informed the officers of her situation and requested assistance to avoid humiliation and embarrassment. Plaintiff maintains that although acknowledging her situation and aware that because she was rear-handcuffed she could not help herself, the officers deliberately failed and refused to assist her. Shortly thereafter, plaintiff's shirt fell off her shoulder, leaving her breast fully exposed. Plaintiff was forced to remain in this state for approximately seven minutes in full public view before she was assisted.
