Editor's Notes
- #2 Hi, we are Aaron, Satwant & GregWe are presenting Stop & Search
- #3 One of the powers that the police sometimes use to prevent crime in the local community is the power of stop and search. This means that police officers and community support officers can stop you and ask questions about what you're doing in that area. You may be stopped on the street or in your car.The power of stop and search also allows the police to search you if they suspect you might be carrying an illegal substance or something that could be used as a weapon.Source - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeople/CrimeAndJustice/CrimeAndTheLaw/DG_10027690
- #4 Stop & Search is a significant issue for people living in our areaPolice carried out 66% more stops and searches under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act in 2008/2009 than the year before, government figures show today.http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/Police_stop_and_search_rockets_66_news_296962.html210,013138,608.58
- #5 Despite or maybe due to this incredible increase, only 6 in every 10,000 stop and searches results in an arrest6in10,000Think about thathttp://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/may/06/police-stop-and-search-reform
- #6 This means that 99% of all Stop & Searches affect people who are innocent of anything99%IncredibleHowever less then 1% of searches led to an arrest and only nine arrests were in connection with terrorism.
- #7 Imagine how that makes all these people feel:Disempowered – you have no control over what is happening. Your innocent, you cant just walk off.Frustrated – you have no idea what you are allowed to do or notConfused – what now, what are my rights?
- #8 This is where our appStop & Search comes in

- #11 Stop and search application, we also own the domain Stop and Search.org.Talk about online web app for people who dont have a smart phone.A very simple interface where you can clearly choose whether you would like to learn more about your rights or log your experience and view past ones.
- #12 Users will be able to see their rights and what police hope to achieve from stop and searches when they view the “know your rights page”A clear simple interface is used for the experience page to log data. For easier data usage we have used sliders and check boxes to monitor results more easilyAs well as these pages we would have a complaints page.http://humanrightsinireland.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/stop-and-search1.jpg
