To Catch a Copper

The first episode focuses on officers accused of seriously mistreating or sexually exploiting people in their hour of need. In three cases, the initial judgement of investigators is that there is clear evidence of police misconduct, but getting criminal charges, convictions and civil sanctions is often not straightforward.

Two officers are called to an argument between a bus driver and a young black woman. When the situation escalates and video is shared online, the community demands answers. In another case, two officers stop and search a young black man, using pepper spray and physical force. He is not found to be carrying anything illegal and makes a complaint to the police.
