Two Asians in the group later complained to police.
Kent Police refused to apologise. Superintendent Chris Hogben said: ‘An allegation was made that was fully investigated. A case was presented to the CPS and the decision was made to prosecute.
‘If Miss Calvert-Mindell would like to discuss our response and the conduct of officers I would urge her to contact me direct.’
