Bianca Williams: Fundraiser for sacked Met officers raises £50K
By Bethan Bell and PA MediaBBC News
More than £50,000 has been raised for two Met Police constables who were sacked after carrying out a stop and search of two athletes in west London.
British sprinter Bianca Williams and her partner Ricardo dos Santos said they were racially profiled when they were searched outside their home.
A disciplinary panel.
The Money is said to " support the officers".
The person behind the fundraiser, named only as " UK" set a £50,000 target.
Police followed the athletes In July 2020 as they drove to their home in Maida Vale from training with their baby son, then three months old, in the back seat of their Mercedes.
The couple were handcuffed and searched on suspicion of having drugs and weapons, but nothing was found.
During the disciplinary hearing, The Panel was told the officers followed Mr dos Santos because of the " appalling" and " suspicious" nature of his driving.
The hearing found PC Clapham and PC Franks lied about smelling cannabis in Mr dos Santos' car and so had breached professional standards of police behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity.
Allegations against three other officers were not proven.
The online crowdfunding page states both of the sacked officers " will be affected by mortgage payments, food bills and general cost of living". Comments on The Site describe their dismissal as " scandalous appeasement and scapegoating" and " an utter disgrace".
Author Alice Vinten, a former officer, condemned the donations in a post on Social Media , saying the officers had been " dismissed for lying about smelling cannabis during a stop and search on a black couple and their baby. Is this what we do now? Raise money for lying cops? "
Earlier this year, Ms Williams won bronze in the 4x100m at the World Athletics Championships. Mr dos Santos competed in the 400m at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games .
After the ruling, Ms Williams told The Bbc : " It shouldn't have taken three years to get to this result but I Am happy that this is the result and this is, like I said, a huge step in The Right direction for people who continue to get stopped by The Police and have that same old excuse about smelling of cannabis when nothing has been found.
