"A former NYPD cop running for Congress, Alison Esposito, was sued for allegedly handcuffing an infant during a controversial stop and frisk incident, settling for $25,000."
"The complaint alleges that Esposito, alongside another officer, illegally entered an East Harlem apartment to 'assault, frisk, and illegally detain' an infant, raising serious concerns about police conduct."
"Esposito's campaign spokesperson dismissed the allegations as frivolous, asserting that such lawsuits often arise against law enforcement as they carry out their duties."
"The case was settled out of court, with the city paying the infant's mother $25,000, indicating the ongoing debate around police accountability and legal repercussions."
