“Rising number of women stopped and searched by police in England and Wales. Home Office data shows a 7% increase in searches of women up to March 2024 compared with a 2% drop for those of men.” And would you believe a disproportionate number of the women were black! #Police #Racism #StopAndSearch

"Two former #MetPolice officers sacked over a #StopAndSearch involving British athlete Bianca Williams have been handed their jobs back. It comes after they won an appeal against a ruling that they lied by saying they could smell cannabis during a stop and search of Ms Williams and her partner..."

Is there anybody in #London who hasn't had the Met tell that lie about them? I've heard it twice, and I don't even let people smoke (anything) in my car (because it stinks!) 🙄

'Nearly 1/4 of all searches were conducted on those from black, Asian, or other minority ethnic backgrounds – disproportionately high compared with population representation.'

@Probertd8

I am not sure being #racist about nasty #rightPopulist politicians is any better than being so as a white policeman passing the time with #stopAndSearch

AFAIK "our way of life" is not an expression with much meaning - I doubt my way of life & yours have much in common
