A DJ at a leading London nightclub has criticised a police officer who pulled him over while driving and told him it was "fact" that black men in gangster-style clothes carry out crimes.

DMO Deejay, who plays weekly at DSTRKT nightclub in Piccadilly, posted two videos taken the same day of him being stopped by police while driving.

In the second video, taken a short distance from the club, the officer attempts to explain that black people are pulled over because of their "criminal profile."

In the go-pro footage, the officer can be heard saying: “This isn’t racist, it’s a fact. Predominantly, the criminal profile of people who do it are black people.

“So, naturally, if you see a car full of black guys, maybe dressed in gangsta-style clothing or whatever, when they’re driving down there, they’re getting stopped.”

The DJ, who has over 20,000 fans on Facebook, said he was first pulled over in his own car, a Mercedes C63 AMG, while driving through Ealing Common en route to a meeting on Wednesday January 6.

“They said it was a random stop check but I could see the officer receiving instructions on his radio of who to stop,” said the 27-year-old.

“I was 40 minutes late to a meeting with a car dealership. I did not appreciate that.”

At the meeting with HR Owen VIP services, he hired a Bentley GTC in order to film a promotional video in which he drives around London handing out CDs to fans at their homes.

But before he had even made it to the first person’s house, he found himself being followed by police and was quickly pulled over near Leicester Square.

The Birmingham-born DJ said: “I noticed the car following me and I knew what it was, but I was doing absolutely nothing wrong.

“I got out of the car and one officer started asking whose car it was and asking for the keys.

“Once I’d showed him it was all fully legal and insured he started saying most crimes in this area are committed by black people so I am likely to get stopped if I drive through here.”

In the clip, which has been viewed over 15,000 times since being posted yesterday, DMO deejay says: “Are you hearing what this guy just said to me?

“If I’m in a car full of black guys and we’re dressed in gangsta clothing, the criminal profile of people around that area, which is Piccadilly, which is right outside DSTRKT where I play every single Tuesday as my DJ residency, means that they’re getting stopped.”

DSTRKT nightclub, where he has held a residency for four months, has welcomed the likes of Will Smith, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Jay Z and Nelly through its doors.

DMO Deejay added: "This has happened quite a few times before and I've always been completely legal. I'm being targeted."

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The MPS is aware of the footage circulating on a social media, and it has been reviewed by the directorate of professional standards.

"A senior officer will make contact with the man who was stopped to apologise, and ask if he wishes to make a complaint.

"We can understand why based on what has been circulated in the footage why it has caused frustration.

"The officers will be spoken to about the explanation that they provided and to ensure we fully understand the circumstances of what happened."
