The couple claim they were racially profiled - and while the police say each stop is made on its own merits, they are confident there were no misconduct issues but want to consider what they could have done differently.
This programme has also learnt that the Met have made a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct - following a separate complaint by a 21-year-old key worker accusing the same unit of racial profiling.
