I'm sure you can't.
Police are allowed to stop&search you.
The thames valley police site even says:
"If you are stopped or searched it doesn’t mean you have done something wrong. The police do understand that being stopped can be embarrassing or frustrating if you are in a hurry. Please try to remain calm and co-operate with the officer as this will help to reduce the time it takes. The officer will seek your co-operation, but in some circumstances, force may be used to search if absolutely necessary."
Anyway.
I hate being stereotyped like that.
It does my head in.
It doesn't really happen to me or my mates though.
My dad/uncle do use the "you wouldn't know, you're only a teenager" line though.
