Met cops who handcuffed sprinter Bianca Williams during a stop and search are set to face gross misconduct charges
The Independent Office for Police Conduct has found that there is a case to answer for gross misconduct against five Met Police officers over the July 2020 stop and search of Ms Williams and her partner, Ricardo dos Santos.
Nothing was found during the search, which the Met said was carried out by officers patrolling the area in response to an increase in violence involving weapons.Deputy Assistant Commissioner Bas Javid, from the Met’s Directorate of Professionalism, said: “Four of them also face allegations that they breached the standards for use of force and for authority, respect and courtesy.
“A sixth officer will attend a misconduct meeting for alleged breaches of the standards for authority, respect and courtesy, duties and responsibilities and for use of force, assessed as misconduct.” "We were going home normally from training... it's the normal shortcut if there is a ridiculous amount of traffic," she said, adding that she believed they had actually been stopped because the car was "all black".Athlete Bianca Williams says she plans to sue after accusing police of ‘racial profiling’
