The 27-year-old told the BBC his phone was between his thighs, and accused the Met of "over-policing".

Who keeps their phone between their thighs while driving unless they're using it/or has been using it.
They let him off failed to stop? Why would someone carry on, for what reason?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-62546...

Wow. Hopefully the IOPC will identify this.

He recorded the interaction in his Tesla. I don't think he has done himself any favours this time by doing so.
Really, given what happened the previous time, when both of them were handcuffed whilst the baby was left alone in the car. Do you think it is appropriate that seven police officers were sent to deal with this, you know, someone suspected of using their mobile phone whilst driving? Their three year old child's details are now on a police database - why?He recorded the interaction in his Tesla. I don't think he has done himself any favours this time by doing so.
The Met Police have a very bad history, very bad indeed and you don't need to scratch the surface very deeply to come up with absolute horror stories about them.
I would advise anyone to record any interaction like this one with police, because quite frankly, they cannot be trusted.
You’d think he’d have learned a lesson, but no.
And I saw he was asking why it took 7 to stop him. What did he expect, that they’d pull over, let 3, 4, 5 (?) out before stopping him.
Met police clearly aren’t perfect. Not by a long way. But this guy does himself no favours with his behaviour.
He has more recognition for being Bianca Williams boyfriend who has run ins with plod now than any of his sporting achievements.
Once I can understand, but this seems like he baited the coppers and contrived the situation, any scenario where you pull past a Police X5 which is trying g to make you stop is never going to end well.

He is on Good Morning Britain now. Let’s see how they report it.
It’s all going to be super sympathetic and the Met will feel obliged to drop all charges, even though any regular person doing what he did probably would get done for the phone offence (as said, who has a phone between their legs, especially in a Tesla with the charging mats there) and failing to stop.In the US I could understand why he would be reluctant to stop, in the U.K. there’s no excuse.
Guy possibly behaving suspiciously, possibly on mobile phone is asked to stop and doesn’t comply… that just makes the police to have more reasons to stop him, black, Asian or white!
It’s is not common to be driving at 4am. It is natural the police will have an interest in a lone car driving at that time of night. Not enough to stop them randomly but they will notice you. If you are driving slightly off the Highway Code they are perfectly allowed to stop you. Silly guy tries to evade police it just escalates.
An athlete should be resting at 4am for his day job…

Well, in fairness to him, his job is running away really fast. You’d think he’d have learned a lesson, but no.

The advice always used to be that if you're in any doubt about the legitimacy of the police pulling you over, then you should acknowledge them and drive to the nearest police station. These days, a lot of police stations have been closed, and I doubt if I was in this situation near home they'd sit back for 15 miles while I drove to the nearest one. So, presumably stopping and phoning 999 will allow you to verify that it's a legitimate stop and any officer is presumably happy to wait if you explain or even just show your phone through the window so they can see you have dialled 999.
The important part being that you communicate this to the police officer pulling you over.
Do many people drive around in fake police cars??The important part being that you communicate this to the police officer pulling you over.
