Manuel Sorcy – Kahului Police Department

Officer Manuel Sorcy filed a lawsuit alleging that he was ‘kidnapped and interrogated’ by members of the Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Maui Police Department. The complaint details that in January 2021, Sorcy was taken from his home by fellow officers and subjected to coercive questioning. He reported the misconduct to Internal Affairs, but the alleged wrongdoers remained in their positions. Sorcy transferred to the Hawai’i County Police Department in November 2021 due to the emotional distress caused by the incident.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
