PC Perry Lathwood successfully appeals common assault conviction

Statement from the Metropolitan Police Federation after PC Perry Lathwood successfully appeals common assault conviction.

Rick Prior, Chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: “We are pleased that justice has been done with the Crown Court overturning the erroneous and perverse judgement handed down by Judge Tan Ikram at Westminster Magistrates Court on the 17th May this year.

“PC Perry Lathwood walks away from the court today with his reputation restored and without a blemish on his character.

“It has always been my - and the Metropolitan Police Federation’s - view that PC Lathwood had done nothing wrong on the 21st July last year, whilst working on a TFL Revenue Protection operation.

“Indeed, having reviewed all of the body-worn video, it was also the informed view of the Metropolitan Police’s Senior Command that there was certainly no criminality.

“It is my view that this is yet another Independent Office for Police Conduct led, politically motivated witch-hunt against a decent, honest, and diligent police officer who was simply doing his job.”
