Summary
- Two former Metropolitan Police officers sacked over a stop and search involving British athlete Bianca Williams have been reinstated after winning an appeal.
- The officers were initially dismissed for allegedly lying about smelling cannabis during the stop and search of Ms. Williams and her partner, Olympic sprinter Ricardo Dos Santos.
- The Police Appeals Tribunal overturned the decision, stating that the original ruling was “irrational” and “inconsistent.”
- The couple had complained of being racially profiled during the incident, where they were handcuffed and searched but nothing was found.
