One of the two police officers, when he had stopped the inspector said,
"It looked like you have gone through a red light and were travelling
too fast"...Either the inspector did, or he didn't...no looking like
about it, he was either over the speed limit or he wasn't...he went
through a red light or he didn't; even colour blindness by the policeman
is no excuse...and as for not turning on his body camera until the
inspector started recording the incident...again no excuse, what do they
have bodycams for?. Yet, the Metropolitan Police have investigated the
incident and said that the police had done nothing wrong. And the
Metropolitan Police Commissioner recently said that she firmly believes
in thoroughly investigating and removing racist attitudes from the
police force. The police inspector was not charged with any
offence...now why was that? No wonder the inspector is suing them. What
about the rights of ordinary folks and ethnic minorities...one wonders...

A black police inspector is suing the Met Police for racial harassment
after being stopped in his car by two white officers.
Insp Charles Ehikioya recorded the incident in which he said officers
stopped him without justification as he drove home from work in south
London.
He told the BBC it showed an "abuse of power" and he was speaking out in
solidarity with the black community.
The Met said it found no evidence of misconduct.
The 55-year-old had been driving home after his shift on 23 May when he
was followed for two miles by officers and stopped in Croydon, according
to his complaint.
As one officer approached, Insp Ehikioya said he noticed he had not
switched on his body-worn camera and for that reason he refused to leave
his car.
He said he then started to record the incident for protection, at which
point the officer turned on his bodycam.
In the recording, shared with BBC News, the officer said Insp Ehikioya
was being stopped for driving at speed and it "looked like he had gone
through a red light".
