To me it’s pretty obvious that as a copper I would not be stopping people unless they’ve performed some major incontrovertible traffic offence. Maybe that’s the way it should be eg no stopping anyone on some kind of ‘suspicion’ which is naturally open to bias. Same with chasing after little scrotes.
You'd make a st copper then.P.S. Police don't need a reason to stop you.

Thanks man. Still not something i personally agree with, but I can see both sides. So, to clarify, car posted earlier was not the car driven? Rather clumsy posting by someone, OR, I have been rather naive in assuming it was. Puts a different perspective on everything given the assumption was she lied about the lack of tints. anonymous said:

I posted the picture, it's their car outside their house with a reporter next to it on Sky News doing his bit about the incident I dont know if its light or reflection, the rear windows do look darker than the fronts but that's the same with any car with privacy glass. They may well not be tinted in the front but if the police carrier is following from behind as its driving off they still cant see into it due to the privacy glass. I have it in my car, you can barely see through it when looking in.

Why is everyone getting obsessed about whether the front windows are tinted or not ?
The vehicle failed to stop/ made off. That's enough to justify the police upping the ante.
Yep.The vehicle failed to stop/ made off. That's enough to justify the police upping the ante.
If Williams or her boyfriend have an issue with being stopped and are so offended then maybe they should both surrender their driving licences.
Don't like the rules of the game, then don't play.

Because many used the excuse that the police could not see inside the car to justify the policeman with baton's aggresive stance. The last poster has explained this is standard practice regardless. So, turns out it did not need justification at all from that perspective. I am now very interested in how this pans out. I had (naively) thought Williams must have been lying about the tints (which many have also used to preclude any racial motivation) when i seen the pictures of the apparentjy heavily tinted windows. She was not as the cctv shows. She also denied the car was on the wrong side of the road. My previous assumption was if she was lying about the windiws, this too may be a lie. Now, I'm not so sure. Hopefully the police videos shine more light on this, one wonders how long we will have to wait to see the video of the car speeding off, swerving to the wrong side of the road. Hopefully not to long. Anyone looking from either 'side' of this argument can surely now see the situation needs reviewed, witness statements collated and videos and cctv compared. Why wasn't the driver charged with driving off and/or speeding or dangerous driving? How can a police van determine if he was speeding? If offences were committed why no charges, why the cuffs, why the aggressuve stance, and by one officer only? Its not the kind of policing I'm used to but am both happy, and slightly saddened, to concede it may be the Met way. The vehicle failed to stop/ made off. That's enough to justify the police upping the ante.

Crop from a still doing the rounds on the net. May be from the pub cctv mentioned in another post. Windscreen and front side windows appear clear - not tinted
This is key to the 'wrong-way-down-one-way-street' part of the story. The cctv is from the Angie's Free House pub on the corner of Woodfield Road and Woodfield Place W9, and the Mercedes has just driven past a No Entry sign where Woodfield Road becomes One Way, after the junction with Woodfield Place, which is the junction just visible on the extreme right of the above still. The TSG van behind is near the junction with Great Western Road. All easily viewable on Google Maps.

If you're searching someone for weapons you dont really want them to be able to get to anything. Let's remember the non compliance when asked to pull over too, it all forms basis for justification for any use of force.

It's very simple - goad police, fail to stop, behave like a fool, then don't be surprised if something happens that you don't like.
The whole thing was staged anyway. All you need to do is look at the full video.

Hello David, how’s Belgium ?
Any thoughts on the Belgian Police and all the deaths at the hands of their “racial profiling”
Or is it just the British Police you have an issue with?

Belgium is great thanks.Any thoughts on the Belgian Police and all the deaths at the hands of their “racial profiling”

As for the Belgian police, I am opposed to police brutality, racial profiling and immunity from prosecution wherever it occurs. In whichever country it occurs. I expect a higher standard of policing from the UK forces so when they fail so miserably it is a deep disappointment.
The police referring themselves to the IOPC is a cynical ploy designed to gain some semblance of credit. Naive of them to think the public would be fooled by it.
