Where I am we would be lucky if the CID/undercover?? were in a clapped out focus at best maybe a mazda!He was arrested very shortly after getting home from his shift on Tuesday. So he may not have had time to think re undercover officers in the Land Rover etc
There is probably an element paranoia convinced him he was regardless
Just read the above link again regarding Police watchdog referrals outcomes and posting two quotes again as the second one seems very significant. What it seems to say is - that the indecent exposure allegation is no longer being looked into by them as to the Met conduct, and is referred back to local investigation. But also says they are still assessing the actions of the Police after they received a report that SE was missing.
So they are querying the timeline between her going missing and the time before any action was taken it sounds like. JMO
"The IOPC added: “Yesterday we determined that two conduct referrals relating to kidnap/murder and indecent exposure allegations against the arrested officer should remain under local investigation by the force.
“We are still assessing a mandatory referral in relation to the actions of police after they received a report that Sarah Everard was missing.”

Interesting this has changed slightly compared to earlier when this information was released.
It is their job to police deviations from standard operating procedures,
That's why the two guys who didn't apparently act correctly upon receipt of the complaint about the flashing has to be investigated by them.
I think so and it was a lot of media coverage by family and friends eventually that seemed to instigate the case taking off IMO. Nothing much seemed to happen at all for the first week. Then it all happened at once.
Correction - there is a timeline here - but up to the 5th day after she disappeared it was being treated as a "missing persons investigation". Although above that it says "the complex nature of the probe". As someone posted very early on in these threads, it was because she had active family and friends it seemed to get such high profile when so many cases like this get very little publicity. JMO
Sarah Everard disappearance: What we know so far
If the info that WC was being observed for about 3 days before his arrest is correct, then that would have been Sat/Sun/Mon. Or Sun/Mon/Tues. So presumably he wouldn't have been working over the week-end - just the one day on Monday. JMO
She went missing on the 3rd March. WC was arrested on 9th March. 7th and 8th March seemed to see the most acitivity with people sending in info after the doorcam photo released and requests.
So about 3 or 4 days with not much happening it seems.
The first apparent directed activity, I recall, was on Tuesday 9th, in the late afternoon, when Poynders Road was cordoned off and the area around Poynders Court was searched.
My thoughts are that is was that afternoon that credible evidence was recovered, possibly CCTV, that identified SE and some activity near a vehicle which was later identified and tracked to WC's home address.
I suspect they would have had no idea he was a police officer until they arrested him.
