The Panel also heard that PC Casey was asked by another colleague about Mr Dos Santos's driving and whether he thought there could be any offences prosecuted.
PC Casey said: " At The Time I didn't think we could prove any offences under The Road traffic act, driving offences.
" I could see there was rapid acceleration, heavy braking, but I couldn't tell you what speed The Driver was driving at. "
Acting Sgt Rachel Simpson and PCs Casey, Jonathan Clapham, Michael Bond and Sam Franks all face allegations that they breached police standards regarding equality and diversity during the stop and search.
