Do you think more stop and search would ease the knife crime in the uK ? It could be a good idea if done properly imo.

i think the problem comes from the invasion into privacy when there is no probable cause for the search. For example, what happens if the person is being searched for knives but out pops half a Kg of cannabis from their pockets, or 20 stolen phones. It's a slippery slope really into a police state.

...I think more community policing in areas and working with younger people especially would be more the thing than stop and search, Kaz...

they already have scanning equipment at the airport that basically shows people naked. A few more of them in trouble spots could be quite enlightening

Yes,I guess they would be accused of racism or intimidation but some sections of society,but reallyif you have nothing to hide,I don't see much of a problem,it may be inconvenient but if it saves just one life surely it would be worth it,as bitontheslide said they could use scanners.

Anyone out there whinging about "racism" when it comes to stop and searches in certain areas should leave their stupid comments in their pocket. |

If they have good reason to be suspicious then yes.
This is an interesting government report. From https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures....-search/latest From 2012-3 Stop and search has been dropping by quite a bit. 2014-15 had the lowest numbers since 2006

...yeah I know there are cutbacks, Arista...that’s one of the issues though imo to help prevent...community policing is essential in areas, especially those of higher violence crimes....

A fair few people took offense in another thread when I said the best indicator of a successful life is being raised by two parents.

I agree it is the best,but I raised my eldest 2 children alone for most of their childhood and their youth,until I married my 2nd husband when my son was 22 and my daughter 20 ,I have never had any trouble at all with them, they never got into trouble at school or outside, strict but fair parenting is the answer and there must be a line of being the parent and them the child ,sadly today a lot of parents are more interested in being on Facebook with their mates all day ,one of my biggest bug bears is seeing parents pick their kids up from school texting as they walk home while little kid run on in front or lags behind them .. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN ask them what sort of of day they've had, what they had for dinner,the buck stops with the parents, not schools ,not social media, not video games ,social service, they are YOUR children its up to you to guide them

Anyway; my answer is a very firm "no" to random searches. If there is legitimate good reason to believe that someone is carrying a weapon, fine. Otherwise, no. |

If somebody is acting suspicious, then fine, stop and search them.
If it is so it can be jotted and totted then no. My son could be stopped and searched 4 times in one evening....in a very crime free area, but they had to reach those target figures, and he was a cheeky little blighter. Operation Zero Tolerance it was called, well they got that right. |

Apart from a life of subservience and obedience to an authoritarian state. But I suppose some people live that way anyway and thus wouldn't fear it.
