Angel Cortes has filed a lawsuit against Officer Jaden Gonzalez, the Secaucus Police Department, and the City of Secaucus in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case, filed on October 24, 2025, alleges violations of Cortes’ constitutional rights under several amendments due to an unlawful traffic stop over alleged illegal window tints. The municipal court had previously dismissed the citation, finding no probable cause for the stop. Cortes claims emotional distress and financial losses, seeking damages exceeding $1 million.
