Undercover NYPD Officers Frame 4 On Drug Charges
NYPD Investigating Incident, Officers Placed On Modified Duty
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Undercover police officers who arrested four men on drug charges are under investigation after surveillance video proved the men they arrested committed no crime.
Drug charges against brothers Jose Colon and Maximo Colon, along with two of their friends have been dropped.
The undercover NYPD officers are seen on video dancing in the street, then attempting to frame four innocent men.
"I asked police officer why are you arresting me," said Maximo Colon. "Never did I get an answer."
The investigators swore under oath they bought drugs from the four men. Jose and Maximo colon say that didn't happen.
"The cops are supposed to help us," said a shaken Jose Colon.
Defense lawyers say the surveillance cameras proved their clients were framed.
"It was nauseating," said defense lawyer Rochelle Berliner.
Two hours of video showed no contact at all between the four men arrested and undercover officers - proof that lead prosecutors to drop charges against the four men, and even declare in court the men did not commit the crime.
Defense lawyers say it's disturbing but not uncommon.
"As defense attorneys you know it exists more often than government wants you to believe," said Brad Wolk.
In the 6 months it took to clear the Colon brothers names, they lost their business and their savings.
As a result of his ordeal, Maximo Colon has lost trust in police officers.
The two men are now involved in a civil suit against the city and hope to one day rebuild their lives.
The NYPD is investigating the officers involved in this incident. Two of the officers are reportedly on modified duty.

These people probably were drug dealers. But it doesn't matter. The police couldn't prove it so they made up evidence. In their minds they are justified in doing anything to bust dealers. What pieces of shit. I hope they do get sent to prison.

> if your under oath, i believe that should be mandatory time in prison.
I've always felt that people in a position of authority that abuse the trust of that authority should suffer three times the penalty of what they were attempting to pin on somebody else.
> In their minds they are justified in doing anything to bust dealers.
Or maybe they just needed to reach their quota for the month. Maybe one of them got in a fight with his wife, was pissed, and needed a good way to vent; why not screw over some inferior ghetto dweller? I don't care what the reason is, when a cop breaks the law (perjury, false arrest) and unjustly arrests somebody, that cop is no different than a child rapist (taking advantage of their authority- adult to child like cop to citizen).
> I hope they do get sent to prison.
Yeah right. They didn't even get a slap on the wrist... "Two of the officers are reportedly on modified duty." whatever that means. And in the end, the people of New York are the ones that are going to pay... "The two men are now involved in a civil suit against the city and hope to one day rebuild their lives."
