Nope. All about perception. By making it public, knowing full well the Police can't comment till its investigated, his lawyers are ensuring public perception is he is being targeted and the Met are guilty so are keeping quiet.
It's probably a self fulfilling problem, from my reading of the articles he is driving about a dodgy part of London in a moderately expensive car so likely to get pulled anyway. From that point if he sees cops he is likely to act differently and more defensively when he sees them and make it more likely he will be searched as the cops instinct is he has something to hide.
