Bodycam Footage of Wembley Park Incident & Others

The request was refused by Metropolitan Police Service (MPS).

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

I am uncertain whether it is possible, however I request the bodycam footage of the Officers involved within the Incident at Wembley Park, the one stated within the following article:

http://news.met.police.uk/news/statement...

I am again uncertain if this is possible, however, would I also be able to request the bodycam footage of the stop and search incident involving Bianca Williams as well as the bodycam footage of the officers involved within this arrest: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo...

The purpose of the following request is to obtain more information about the reasons following these arrests and incidents and to gain more clarity on the police's decision. For example in the Wembley Park incident, the article states the Bodycam footage was reviewed internally and found of no wrong-doing, and to further support the Borough Commanders decision I feel the bodycam footage should be made public to further justify the officers decisions and to avoid miscommunication and false information being spread amongst the public and across media

Apologies if this is not possible, as I am in doubt, but I thought I'd try, again further apologies if I've wasted your time and I appreciate you being able to review my request

Yours faithfully,

Tamir Laws
