25 times over several years is a lot. I have never been stopped. I live in a predominately white area and often go around predominately white areas with quite high amounts of crime and still have never been stopped. When I talk around predominately black areas with high amounts of crime I still have never been stopped. Ever. Harlow, Islington, Hackney, Essex, Enfield, Kent. Never, ever, been stopped.
Maybe they had good reason to stop him each time but let's not pretend that being stopped 25 times is something a law-abiding citizen should expect.
