Well what I'd actually like to know is how many terrorists have actually been arrested on random stop and search,charged and successfully prosecuted?
I mean just how does one pick out whom is a terrorist before they have committed a terrorist act except by surveillance and intelligence reporting?
After all surely a terrorist is going to be very aware of the possibility of stop and search at certain places and certain times and completely random stop and search is very unlikely to catch anyone with half a brain.So stop and search needs to be a lot more specific to be successful.
Is losing such weapon in the war on terrorism likely to make a lot of difference?
