Bashed in doors, sent granny into cold

with the Legal Aid Society's Special Litigation Unit, said Grieco’s memo book omissions were troubling.

“If unlawful stops or searches are not documented in stop reports or memo books, there’s no way for oversight agencies to connect complaints of unlawful stops or searches to that officer,” she said.

Meanwhile, a dozen lawsuits naming Grieco have been filed or settled since the cop was first profiled by The News.

One involved aspiring rapper Quinshon Shingles (right), who alleged in a federal suit that Grieco and Officer Joseph Patton showed up at his cousin’s home to question the relative.

The cousin wasn’t home, and Shingles said he wound up handcuffed and forced to spit out some rhymes, with the understanding he would be uncuffed and released if the cops were impressed. He did, and they were.

In turn, Shingles sued and settled for $7,500.

Despite the legal tangles in his past, Grieco’s career has advanced. Since 2013, he was promoted twice — first to detective, then last summer to sergeant, at which point he was transferred to the 67th Precinct.

For Luis Vargas and his family, Grieco’s frightening visit hasn’t been forgotten.

“As I told him, I don’t know nothing about a gun...You come into my house. You break the door down because of information you got. You should do a better investigation,” Vargas told The News.

The revelations about Grieco come as the NYPD is undergoing a dramatic philosophical shift — doing away with the numbers-obsessed approach to crime fighting that fueled a stop-and-frisk controversy and alienated New Yorkers, particularly young minority men, in neighborhoods across the city.

In its place, the NYPD has what it calls “precision policing,” focusing on the criminals who commit a majority of the city’s violent crimes, and neighborhood policing, with officers more deeply engaged with residents.

But some lawyers say there are still too many officers who stop people without justification and search vehicles or homes without getting a warrant or consent. Critics also charge that the NYPD still doesn’t adequately identify and punish cops accused of misconduct.

Two years ago, the NYPD started shielding officers’ disciplinary records from public scrutiny, claiming any disclosure would violate Section 50-a of the 1976 state civil rights code. Supporters of the change argued that a wrongful arrest on a relatively minor charge could pop up years later on a background check and cost that person a future job.
