Leaked review of Met police body-worn video footage reveals officer errors

Memo explains reasons behind Scotland Yard decision not to routinely release content

Scotland Yard has decided not to routinely release its own video footage of controversial incidents after internal reviews showed errors by officers, a leaked document reveals.

The Met has been plagued by a flurry of social media videos raising concerns about stop and search, use of force and racial profiling, prompting calls for footage from body-worn video cameras to be made public.
