NYC nurse accused of assault exonerated by Ring camera — but NYPD wouldn’t look at it: lawsuit
New York Daily News via Yaoo ^ | December 18, 2022 | Thomas Tracy and John Annese

NYPD officers refused to look at Ring camera surveillance footage that would have exonerated a nurse busted for domestic violence charges, according to a new federal lawsuit.

Tricia Lara says she’s the one who got arrested when her cousin forced her way into her Brooklyn apartment on June 30 — even though a camera set up in her living room showed her cousin was the aggressor.

The officers’ unwillingness to watch the video — despite a state law requiring cops to investigate who “primary physical aggressor” in a domestic violence case is — put Lara through the criminal justice system ringer for six months, she said.

“They took my fingerprints, put me in a cell. I went downtown to booking that night, and the next morning I saw the judge,” she said.

“I was attacked in my own home. It affected my job. I couldn’t get a job because they said I had a pending case against me,” said Lara, a registered nurse. “I used to be a school nurse, and the agency sent me an email saying I was arrested and I will be terminated if I don’t get it resolved. My whole career was on the line.”

The officers involved should all be Criminally Charged as Co-Conspirators and Accessories after the Fact. Both are FELONIES and the Conspiracy Charge carries a 10 year sentence.

Police don’t make judgments just arrests sort it out in court

Not only did she have a camera present, but an eye witness as the video clearly shows. At the very least these officers should be fired along with the DA who didn’t do due diligence to look into the case at all apparently.

That this occured in the nurse’s house, not the cousin’s, should have been a tipoff on who the aggressor was. The cousin could leave at any time, but the the nurse had no obligation to flee her home.

Where does it say she’s a Democrat?

I find it odd that her own mother was a false witness against her, and that she lied about who was coming over to visit her daughter. What’s going on in that family? She has a job but won’t share her paycheck? She owes them money? Just weird.

Patently false. By the way, an arrest is a judgement.

“Police don’t make judgments just arrests sort it out in court”

one of the most ridiculous statements i’ve ever heard ...

watch a few episodes of “On Patrol Live” on Friday and Saturday nights on the REELZ channel, and you’ll see that all the cops do almost nothing BUT make judgements about who should be arrested and who should not be arrested ...

“....and Lara’s own mother backing up the “false tale.””

Mom would be out on her butt.

In the era of BLM only the bottom of the barrel would be cops anymore.

The victim’s voting pattern is not mentioned. How did you get her voting information?

A school counselor in NYC. I’d give it a 99.99% chance she is on-board with Wokeism
