Two NYPD cops busted for pocketing money from motorists they pulled over in ‘integrity test’: DA

A pair of NYPD officers went before a Manhattan judge Tuesday on charges they pocketed money from a driver after a car stop, authorities said.
Police Officer Joseph Stokes and his partner Officer Jose Aracena were snagged in what the department calls an “integrity test” on Stanton and Orchard Sts. on the Lower East Side on Oct. 29. The motorist they pulled over was an undercover cop pretending to be drunk, and prosecutors said the duo was caught on camera copping cash.
Stokes, 40, found $4,800 in several "stash” cans that look like Arizona fruit punch in the undercover’s car, authorities said. He claimed he tossed the cans into a passing garbage truck and didn’t voucher the money, prosecutors said.
But he is seen on surveillance video hiding the cans under his car in the 7th Precinct parking lot, police said. Two cash-filled cans were found by cops later that day.
A hidden camera inside the undercover cop’s car captured Aracena, 35, taking $120 from the glove box and $100 from the center console, none of which was vouchered, prosecutors said.
