Police in New Jersey's capital have shown a pattern of misconduct, including excessive force and unlawful stops, Justice Department officials said Thursday, in Trenton, New Jersey, on November 21, 2024, in a report documenting arrests without a legal basis, officers escalating situations with aggression and unnecessary use of pepper spray. The 45-page report comes after a roughly yearlong investigation into the Trenton Police Department. The Justice Department found the police department's practices violate the Fourth Amendment and the report makes more than two dozen recommendations for remedial action.
