2. A black/Asian person?
The issue with stop and search is that it is a power that has in the past been abused and demonstrated to be counter-productive to effective policing. We are all, I'm sure, concerned with reducing and containing the threat of terrorism (although we may disagree on what the level of threat is) and my point is simply that S&S is unlikely to be in any way effective in doing so. |
That does not answer my question.
Also, muslims comming into contact with anti-terroist proceedures over any other group were the comments made, not stop and search.
