I might be wrong here, but Police do have the right to stop and search someone, provided they have a reasonable suspicion a person has committed a crime or intends to commit a crime. Presumably they would need to name the reasons for their suspicion should something come to trial.
The problem with this law is that it allows them to search someone even without suspicion. The law is meant to apply to specific areas and specific times, but in practice is applied everywhere at all times. Which is wrong...
