From the NYCLU article
“The role of police officers is to enforce the law,” NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said. “New York’s finest have no business arresting someone for trying to go to the bathroom at a politically incorrect moment. That is an abuse of authority and a violation of the constitutional principles that our country is founded on.”
The lawsuit asserts that Campeau-Laurion’s constitutional rights were violated under the First, Fourth and Fourteenth amendments. Defendants are NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the NYPD, the New York Yankees Partnership, the City of New York and the two police officers who participated in Campeau-Laurion’s ejection.
