There was no probable cause, to stop [Khan] other than he was a person of color operating an expensive late model vehicle.... I could understand if I was arguing or trying to fight, being belligerent - but it was nothing like that.
The criminal complaint - filed after Officer Matthew Bessen, who Khan described as white, arrested Khan last Nov. 26 in East New York - clearly indicates that the NYPD's own database indicates Khan has a license to carry a firearm.
The case was dismissed in February, but Khan said the damage is done. Besides the embarrassment, I don't want to run into this situation again.
