Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Changes to Police Search Powers
Theresa May yesterday told Parliament that the government will change how stop and search powers under section 44 of the Terrorism Act are used, with immediate effect.
The move is in response to a decision by the European Court of Human Rights, which found that the use of stop and search powers under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 amounted to a violation of the right to a private life.

What are your views on this? Were you searched under this power or did you see others being searched? More importantly, you should not be searched under this power again. If approached, make sure you (politely) challenge the power being used.
