Eric Boateng-Taylor, who is also Carter Jr., was walking to Croydon on Wednesday on his way to work after a shopping trip when police stopped him, accusing him of not dressing appropriately for the weather. The local businessman, who owns a car wash business and a liquor kiosk at Selhurt Sports Arena, stopped at Dagnall Park at 4:47 p.m. The 20-year-old was told “you are not dressed for the weather”, before being stopped for an investigation under the drug abuse law. The police explained that the area was “very well known for drug trafficking” and asked to know why he was there “wearing many layers of clothes despite the hot weather”. Mr. Boateng-Taylor recorded the incident on his phone – a clip that has now been viewed more than a million times on social media. In the video, a police officer is heard saying “I’re just wondering what you’re wearing”, while Mr. Boateng-Taylor replies “I will wear my own coat”, before asking if the police want to buy him a new one. a. When he says he is wearing whatever he wants, another officer asks again why he is wearing a coat and tells him “you are not dressed for hot weather”. “You are not dressed for the weather, it is very hot, it is hot,” she tells him. “It seems strange,” adds her colleague. Mr Boateng-Taylor, who described the officers as “laughing like children”, apologized to the force and called on the officers to be better trained. “The data is right there in the video. It will be played in court and we will see if they have the same humor when they are punished. “This incident has been confusing me all night – they do not see it,” Boateng-Taylor wrote. He told ITV News: “I was handcuffed and searched,” adding that the incident made him feel “violated”. Nothing was found during the search, the Metropolitan Police said. Detective Lee Hill, chief of the Violent Crime Task Force, said: “We know the material that is circulating on social media. This shows only a small part of this incident and we would ask people not to rush to judge. “In this case, an official complaint has been received and is being processed in accordance with the Law on Police Reform. This will include a review of all available footage, including video worn by the officer’s body. “Our officers must behave in the most difficult circumstances and it is right for their actions to be subject to public scrutiny.”
