The right to stop and search

[colin]

As already mentioned, if you have nothing to hide,then there should be no problem with accepting being stopped and searched.The problem for Police is the amount of paperwork involved in nearly all aspects of Policing( i have a niece who is a WPC in Newcastle and the biggest gripe is spending most of the shift in an office filling out the forms resulting from any Police action!).
There needs to be a cull on paperwork whilst still retaining a measure of accountability,not an easy task but surely possible.I suggest the Police look to the supervising officers to actually supervise their officers instead of relying on a trail of paperwork in case anything goes wrong. As in many facets of society it is a lack of supervision that is the problem,be it parents,teachers,or superiors at work.

I do laugh when I read things like this!

The Chiefs of the Armed Forces do not want conscription at all.
