Brooklyn Performer's Due Process Rights Violated

Brooklyn subway performer, Andrew Kalleen, has filed a suit against the New York Police Department for violating his right to Due Process under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. The NYPD arrested Kalleen under the claim that he needs a permit to perform along the subway transit stations. This is not the first incident where Kalleen has been confronted by the police, and by this time, he knew exactly what to say to the authorities. Kalleen referenced the Metropolitan Transportation Authority rules that allow performers to solicit donations and perform in transit stations as long as they are not impeding the flow of transit. But despite this, the NYDP continued with their arrest. This is a direct violation of Kalleen's Fifth Amendment and also his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. These rights are put in place to protect the citizens of the United States from the abuse of power at the federal and state levels. The NYPD, a local, state-run organization, ignored the law and continued with the arrest and detainment of Kalleen without a just or reasonable cause.
