If the police have a valid reason for stopping and searching someone, then they should.
If there is a disproportionate number of blacks being arrested and then released without charge (ie shouldn't have been arrested in the first place) compared with other groups, then something is wrong.
Course if Joe Bloggs has a history of crime, but isn't doing anything to warrent a stop and search, then the police shouldn't waste their time stopping and searching him.

if Joe bloggs has a history of violent crime and carrying weapons then searching this guy isnt a waste of time imo whether he looks like he is upto something or not
Also not everyone arrested ends up in court even if they are guilty of a crime what about cautions? what about giving evidence grassing? they would be arrested but not in court does not mean they shouldnt have been pulled
