Home Secretary Priti Patel said: "Stop-and-search works. We hear again and again from police that [they] need to be empowered."

A study of stop-and-search over a decade in London by the College of Policing found it to be "inconsistent" and "weak" as a deterrent.

In 2017-18, black people were 9.5 times more likely to be searched than white people, a gap which has grown in recent years.

Ms Abbott said evidence-based stop-and-search was an important tool, but "random stops have only poisoned police community relations" and were a "tried and tested recipe for unrest".

Who cares about communities it is about saving lives.

This is a very difficult issue. But I think it is needed.

Police will search where they think they may find knives, there is not a lot of point in them looking where they will not


Certain communities have to accept this, if that is where the crime is most predominate, it saves lives in their communities as well.


I regard all human beings as equal regardless of any differences in race, creed or colour.

Operation Trident started in 1998 to tackle black on black gun crime. It's no longer called OT and has been swallowed up into general policing.

Political Correctness has dictated that profiling is racist. As others have said the PC mob would rather focus on that than black lives being lost.

The black population in Jamaica is of course over 90%. They have one of the highest murder rates in the world. Question for Abbott - would she advocate stop and search in Jamaica?

Police harassment of innocent people quickly builds resentment behind which the villains can hide; they can even prosper by posing as defenders of the community (the claim that launched a thousand protection rackets).

That's classically been the problem with stop and search. Too many innocent people stopped and searched. Not enough guilty.

Diane Abbott knows that, and so did Theresa May, so it is hardly a left/right point. Just common sense.

That's not doing nothing, it's focussing on evidence based stop-and-search.
But that takes thought, planning, intelligence, so bugger that.

Instead, let's take the easy option of random stops, allowing conscious and unconscious bias influence our randomness.

A pilot scheme making it easier for police to search people without reasonable suspicion, in places where serious violence may occur, is being extended to all 43 forces across England and Wales.

In March, when he was home secretary, Sajid Javid first introduced the scheme in seven police force areas: London, the West Midlands, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Wales and Greater Manchester.

The latest move will see restrictions over using section 60 stop-and-search lifted more widely, giving officers across England and Wales a limited time period to search anyone in a designated area in order to prevent violent crime.

Inspectors will now be able to use section 60 without seeking the authorisation of a senior officer and there will be a lower threshold for its use, with police only needing to reasonably believe that violence "may" occur, not that it will.

The Home Office and Number 10 said their decision to extend stop-and-search was based on "initial feedback" from the three-month trial in seven areas.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said: "Stop-and-search works. We hear again and again from police that [they] need to be empowered."

She said powers needed to be used in the "right, legal and professional way" but their use was supported by families of victims of knife crime, from "communities that have suffered so much trauma and pain".


Elena Noel, co-chair of Southwark's anti-knife crime forum, said action was needed to halt the "crisis" but "independent data does not show that stop-and-search stops knife crime and violence".

A study of stop-and-search over a decade in London by the College of Policing found it to be "inconsistent" and "weak" as a deterrent.

Labour accused the Conservatives of trying to "appear tough" instead of dealing with the root causes of crime.

Ms Abbott said evidence-based stop-and-search was an important tool, but "random stops have only poisoned police community relations" and were a "tried and tested recipe for unrest".

The Liberal Democrats' home affairs spokesman Ed Davey accused Mr Johnson of repeating the "failed policies of the past" and said extending stop-and-search disproportionately affected black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

Typical stupid reaction from the Home Secretary though imho. What is she going to do about the drugs gangs. Wasn't she for a time part of a Government that cut 20,000 Police Officers. Wasn't BJ part of the Government for some time?

Drugs policy and Laws are not working.

I do not understand the Labour Party's attitude. Poor people are the ones getting killed. Poor people are the ones who will be robbed and mugged. The Police Force should be there to protect all our people.

I do not understand some Black people's attitude. Who wants knife wielding drug gang members walking around as untouchables?

I am not really in favour of the Police having vast stop and search powers but society is getting worse for ordinary people. There is now a class that operates below the Law. They seem untouchable. Should they go to prison they will be meeting up with their mates. These people are bloodsuckers destroying our society.

I believe many knife killings occur just after school ends for 2 or 3 hours. I think that would be a great time to stop and search people even kids for knives. I don't think it will solve the problem but it might give some comfort to parents who want their kids to come home from school safely.

FWIW I do think we are too soft on criminals.

When you see the post trial reports on these gang murderers there is always a long list of previous convictions for violence and very little jail time had been served. If they were locked up for mugging etc they would not be on the streets to do the stabbings.

Anyone using a knife in a mugging, even if they don't stab anyone, should be charged with armed robbery the same as if they did it in a bank, so 7+ years sentence.

The prison capacity is too small but it costs a lot to expand it.

My issue with stop and search is that no one should be treated like a suspect unless they have done something to warrant it.

Report detraveller • August 12, 2019 10:09 PM BST
The moment any police stops you, you are treated as a suspect. This is a necessity. If they are searching you for a knife, in what world would they go about it with the assumption that you don't have it on you? They have to be ready to defend themselves. So you are treated as a criminal, until you show that you aren't armed.

I shared my own story a few months back where I was held on the street at night, arms above my head for about 10 min, because the police thought I was armed and won't come near me. When I complained to the police about it the next day, I was told this is normal as it has to be assumed that you are armed. This is why no one would come near me, until 6 backup guys had arrived.

So its a part of the process and the reason why stop and search cannot be popular. Boris is a temporary PM and it is quite possible they are implementing it to prove it won't work, as a result allowing the police to continue to be powerless in the long run.

I will also be surprised if any police officer is looking forward to being a part of this. You'd need balls of steel and military backup to try this in London.
