Because descriptions are typically vague, it does hit ethnic groups harder, as they are less distinguishing features (for example, white people normally have variying hair colours, so reduces the amount of people that would be needed to stop and search).

intelligence lead policing ROFL no definitely not its more down to where stop and search is mostly done
if all the figures were released properly you will find this is more down to where you are not what you are also age is a big factor in this too
if you stay away from the town center at night and or any club areas and from any the less well off areas of where ever you live and you not under 20 the likely hood of you being stopped and search almost dissapears
