The lawyer infamously arrested last year for “criminal mischief” after repairing a motorist’s defaced licensed plate has sued the NYPD, alleging the cops are failing to turn over key evidence and, barring court action, might actually destroy it.

Adam White, a partner at Vaccaro & White (whose practice represents injured cyclists and pedestrians), filed his suit in Manhattan Supreme Court on Jan. 13, demanding a court order compelling the NYPD to preserve key evidence related to his Nov. 11, 2022 arrest. White was booked for “criminal mischief” after removing a piece of plastic obscuring a motorist’s license plate in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
