It's when you randomly get searched like, at the side of the street ye? Or your car is pulled over and searched. Like they have reasons to believe you're carrying something like drugs/weapons so they search you

Hm. Well as I've had to do a lot of research on the topic you could say that this research has affected my view largly.

But IMO; the police in a sense are racist as the number of black people search compared to white should never be that high - it's almost doubled! But I guess the fact that it has been statistically shown to have a higher crime rate in areas with more ethnic minorities, the number of stop&search will be higher in this area, making the number of black people searched rise.
If you see what I mean.
But I still think rules regarding the stop and search should be revised to see a change in these numbers.

Dunno if im too late or not but I completed it :3

I took it :)

I don't know anything about the English ones so answered as if it was the Irish police force :S Hope it helps!

done :)

That's interesting :)

I don't think (as with everything) it's 100% one way or the other. Yeah statistics show a black man will commit more crimes on average than a white man, but that's not true for everybody and the police certainly shouldn't discriminate on a daily basis.

Another thing is that if it keeps society safer, I'm for it. Maybe. Haha I don't really know :P
