Pretty much. Am sure one of the blue family/apologists will be along at some point to tell us that absolutely no one they know (relative/friend/colleagues) would have ever used the "I can smell cannabis" line as an excuse to stop and search someone without due cause. One thing from the IOPC report yesterday - black people are 9 times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police. The incidents of drugs found in S&S are higher amongst white people. Wonder why that might be? Anyone? |  |

It seems that way. A fair bit of victim shaming in the comments too. |  |

So you want to make some easy money? on 14:25 - Oct 26 with 3461 views | King_of_Portman_Rd | This is a bit ridiculous isn’t it, not a good look Though I might be wrong*, but this was the stop where the vehicle was seen overtaking at speed and then failed to stop for police.. which is what led to the stop in the first place. There was footage & independent accounts to that affect. Either that has also been quashed as false, though no mentions anywhere… or the Met have knelt down & apologised for officers trying to do their job. To be clear everything that happened once the car stopped was unacceptable. Lying about what you’ve done/seen is worse than almost anything. Honesty & integrity is in question there is no coming back. before certain people jump on me they deserve to be sacked based on what’s been reported, but that might be a reason why met officers feel let down by seniors who seem very happy throwing officers under the bus *cue the usual responses from the usuals |  | |  |

Not the same incident I think, it seems they just followed them a bit then lied and said they could smell cannabis which they admitted to lying about. https://www.itv.com/news/london/2023-10-25/met-officers-guilty-of-gross-miscondu |  |

The IOPC report basically is clear that the stop was not a problem (although the red light was shown not to be red) The 2 coppers (who were fired) stated that they could smell cannabis (to justify the search) and that was shown to be a lie. The 3 other coppers (involved in the stop) were thus not found guilty of misconduct. Some proper bed wetting amongst ex/current police - suspect they are ones who think it legitimate to use "I can smell cannabis" to justify a search irrespective of whether they can smell cannabis.

Not sure if I'm one of the usuals or not. The Met is pretty rotten at the moment and needs cleaning up. Personally I think that is an almost impossible job. Something made those officers stop that car and then subsequently lie about smelling canabis. It's the underlying culture that allowed them to even think that would be ok is the problem. I'm afraid I don't see too much injustice here. |  |

Yep, the usual suspects are incandescent that 2 bent officer have been sacked for dishonesty. Read the 15 page findings of the disciplinary earlier (Gavin Hale tweeted them) and was clear they didn't believe the two sacked officers were honest in their statements/interviews. But that won't stop the "police family" going into meltdown. Speaks volumes of how so many people are complicit in dodgy policing, defending the indefensible at every opportunity. They are appealing the decision so quite possible they end up with a nice fat cheque and their jobs back...we will see @gmhales...will link it later. [Post edited 27 Oct 2023 11:54]

Having had a colleague win an Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal, my default position would ordinarily be to support the workers. Not in this case. The facts are just nauseating and this funding campaign even more so. |  |

So you want to make some easy money? on 11:58 - Oct 27 with 3041 views | bluelagos | Link through to read the full 15 page finding. Per earlier comment 3 coppers smelled cannabis. The guy who smelt it didn't claim it was on the athlete. The other two did and maintained that in their evidence. The hearing found they were dishonest in claiming that. |  |

The stop, in isolation and due to bad driving was possibly justified... however the fact that these officers lied about smelling cannabis as a justification to use stop and search powers is unacceptable.. they were investigated and rightfully dismissed as a result of that investigation - due process was followed and the right outcome reached... In summary, the athletes, driving erratically deserved to be stopped for that reason.. think everyone can agree on that, it's what happened after that was wrong.. |  | |  |

Your post prompted me to go look at the stats which showed 274k white s&s and 64k black S&S. It also showed a whole lot more statistics which were not easy to see through. https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/crime-justice-and-the-law/pol Got me thinking about whether the white population has a higher percentage of elderly people, and or a higher percentage living in rural retirement villages etc. which might imply a lower need for S&S. Doesn’t prove much but it does I think highlight how difficult it might be to draw definite conclusions from the raw data. That said, I accept your basic premise. |  | |  |
So you want to make some easy money? on 13:08 - Oct 27 with 2932 views | blueasfook | "Smell of cannabis" is the standard police excuse to search you/your car. I guess they'll need a new excuse now that one's been rumbled. |  |

The athlete dos Santos said he'd been stopped 13 times over the years - twice since the incident. The crime of a being "a black man in a nice car" is clearly being well policed in his part of London. |  |

Not sure sharing the link for further reach is going to help not reward this pair of chumps though. |  | |  |

That is exactly my position too, thanks for saving me typing it out. I try to be balanced on policing but based on the evidence those two coppers deserved to be sacked and whoever set up the just giving page and those who contributed are just stupid and further undermines and erodes public trust in policing |  | |  |

Agree, there's many decent coppers. I had to deal with the cops last weekend as had some youths hanging around our neighbourhood causing trouble. The PC and WPC who came to see me were great. That evening two of the little scrotes got picked up. |  |
