NYPD Abuse of Power - Stop and Search Bike Messenger in Harlem 

NYPD stops an African bike messenger then searches and frisks him. When the officer notices that he's being filmed he gets angry and writes us a ticket for double-parking as well as threatening to send our producer to jail for interfering with his police business.

Do you think this officer is really concerned with public safety or is following his orders and filling quotas?
