I shouldn't laugh that's actually an excellent example. I was kind of leaning towards thinking it should be allowed but that's made me rethink it I have to say :think:

Well the same thing can be said for knife crime victims and domestic assault victims?

You’re adamant it isnt the same, and thats why only one group should be stopped and searched, but you havent really explained why they are different!

Are you okay with you, and others your age being stopped and search for crimes that barely any of you commit (purely on the grounds of there are still a few that do) or are you not okay with that?

I’m against people of all ages being stopped and searched for the record.

YES - I would be ok with it if it helped. As I don’t carry a knife, despite being a woman and part of a high risk group, or carry anything else I need to be worried about a quick frisk would not be an issue. Not much different to getting on a plane. I was frisked travelling aboard recently and I accept it as it is to protect everyone.

Lots of bizarre hypotheticals to make. But if you’re okay with one demographic being stopped and searched for any reason, you should be okay with every demographic, including your own, being stopped and search for any reason.

Are you?

Hypothetically if there was a problem with women drink drivers would you object to being stopped. And if you did would you be angry with those women drivers creating the problems or the police for trying to keep the roads safe?

they have quite routine campaigns over the Christmas period where drivers are stopped and breathalyzed and I don't remember hearing anyone complaining about it, so maybe something similar for knives wouldn't be objected to :shrug:
