Bianca Williams, 29, and her partner, Ricardo dos Santos, 28, say that they were racially profiled by “aggressive” officers as they drove through Maida Vale, northwest London, on July 4, 2020, with their three-month-old son in the car.

Five officers from the Met’s territorial support group were involved in the stop and search. The couple’s Mercedes was searched for drugs and weapons but nothing was found.
