Watch members of the public give their opinion on stop and search.
A senior minister wants officers to carry out more stop and searches to address knife crime, saying the tactic is ‘not used nearly often enough”. Writing in The Telegraph, Chris Philp said police shouldn’t “tiptoe around using these powers in an aim to appease”. Use of stop and search has generally increased from 280,000 in 2017, although use of the tactic in the Metropolitan Police has continued to fall. Met commissioner Mark Rowley has pledged to increase its use.
In England and Wales, Section 1 stop and search powers allows police to search an individual or vehicle if they have 'reasonable grounds' to suspect the person is carrying illegal drugs, a weapon, stolen property or something that could be used to commit a crime. Section 60 stop and search powers means that some searches can be carried out without “reasonable grounds”.
