Do not permanently relax rules for stop and search by police

Petition Details

I would like the Government to roll back the law that allows the Police to stop and search anyone if they have “reasonable grounds” to think violence may occur. These powers should be limited to designated times and areas, or suspicion that someone is engaged in a crime.

Additional Information

Permanently relaxing the conditions for when police can use stop and search powers could lead to police abusing power. The police obviously should have power when it's absolutely necessary but not be given free reign.
