Earlier this year (in celebration of the Flannigan report) I conducted some preliminary research into police stop and search history, present and future - the results of the polices own records and statistics were less than promising, let alone none official reports and stats.
I can heartily reccomend investigating this for yourselves, the figures are terrifying, especially in this age of social control, pushing for increased police powers, terrorism laws where suspects can be held practically indefinatly without legal representation.
Wez's video only confirms pretty much those findings, police Stop and search is not as different to the old SUS style stop and search as we are led to beleive.
