I think people just think about themselves or a n other example of a pal who was brought up with their mum and turned out ok. Of course its as a whole that you refer and not individual examples that prove the rule |

There's a speech being made now in relation to this, apparently she didn't get the memo... :/
Labour continues to attack the government over the home office leak and Rudd’s admission that she hasn’t read the research. Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott, said: “The Tories’ concern about knife crime doesn’t even run so far as providing new money or extra officers to tackle it. What part of the Home Office budget is being raided to fund this initiative? It must not be from elsewhere in the police or security budgets which have already been slashed. “This morning the Home Secretary claimed to be launching “a fact and evidence-fuelled” strategy, but then admitted she hadn’t even bothered to read the evidence her officials have compiled. “This looks increasingly like a PR stunt by Amber Rudd designed to grab a good headline. The Tories have slashed police funding and resources, leaving them struggling to cope with rising serious crime. This latest announcement looks like a cover up of their own failures.” https://www.theguardian.com/politics...e-live-updates https://news.sky.com/story/amber-rud...-cuts-11323837

So we're back to mocking Diane Abbot?

Nope, it's morally wrong and ineffective.
It also represents an attitude I despise, the attitude of eroding and throwing away our rights for a false sense of security. |

I'm not a fan of this concept. If the police have reason to stop and search from a report or something I get that - but how can police decide if someone looks dodgy? Or would they stop everyone?

All Stop and Search does is erode people's rights and it's an insult to those that have died to preserve our rights. Worst of all, it's a false sense of security. |

Yes and their excuse for not doing so is stupid (something along the lines of racism/racial profiling)
I’m black and I don’t mind being searched every day if it involves ‘possibly’ preventing someone being murdered Last edited by Gstar; 09-04-2018 at 01:50 PM. |

Here's a question for the #metoo generation; Its not just teenage males who are involved in violent crime, and only stop and searching males would be profiling anyway. So... Are we OK with male police officers having the legal right to stop and "pat down" any teenage girl they want to in the street? Do we expect teenage girls to be OK with these intrusive searches "because it might save lives"? |

I have heard a lot of voices from the communities affected saying the same thing, yet those voice are lost ...why? why are people who are not living in these communities not having their voices heard and why are they being overridden by people who will never by affected ..it's all wrong

However, you expect that kind of thing at an airport, walking down the street I would be highly pissed off if I was deemed dodgy looking and required a stop and search without due reason.

The government needs to stop stripping money away from public services, random checks are just that, random (although not really which harms ANY potential effectiveness of it even more)
Instead of calling for this stop gap measure, you should all be calling for more funds for the police so they can maintain a police presence on the streets without having to make up for a lack of presence with pointless stop and searches which just erode our rights. More police on the street will help more than targeting black people for stop and searches ever would. Last edited by Tom4784; 09-04-2018 at 02:43 PM. |

And most importantly - WHY would it have to be a female officer for girls. The answer is an obvious one; "because being body searched is a huge invasion of personal space and privacy". And that's why it shouldn't ever be accepted as a normal part of living in a city. |
