Five Metropolitan Police officers will appear at a gross misconduct hearing over the stop-and-search of athlete Bianca Williams in July 2020.
The Met said the search was carried out by officers patrolling the area in response to an increase in violence involving weapons.
"They took me away from my son. That hurts more than anything," she told Nick, recalling the moment outside her home when officers pulled her and her partner Ricardo out of the family car, handcuffing them, and telling them they could smell cannabis. IOPC regional director Sal Naseem said: “All five officers – an acting police sergeant and four police constables - will face allegations they breached police standards of professional behaviour for duties and responsibilities and for equality and diversity.
"Three of the five – all police constables – will face allegations that they breached the standards for honesty and integrity and one will face an allegation they breached the police standards of professional behaviour for orders and instructions.
