Ricardo Dos Santos and his partner and Team GB athlete Bianca Williams believe they were racially profiled during an encounter with officers in 2020.
A Metropolitan Police officer denied following a vehicle to perform a stop and search because the driver was black, a misconduct hearing has heard.
Questioned on the pursuit of Mr Dos Santos, Pc Clapham said there was no discussion in the police vehicle of him being a “young black male” when the decision was made to follow him.He accepted that black drivers may have a lack of trust in police, that they could feel threatened when being followed by officers and may therefore be defensive and evasive.Various pieces of footage were played during the hearing showing the police pursuit of Mr Dos Santos’ Mercedes.
Questioned on the search of Mr Dos Santos, Pc Clapham said he considers he and his colleagues behaved “leniently” with him and were “fully justified” in their actions. Acting PS Simpson and Pcs Clapham, Bond and Franks also face allegations that their actions amounted to a breach of professional behaviour standards in relation to the use of force.
