You’re 6x more likely to be stopped & searched if you’re black. Of those stopped & searched for drugs, a higher proportion of white people had drugs on them than black. That’s disproportionate. Better still, don’t search any adult for small amounts of drugs for personal use.

Blond, white, public schoolboy, teenager, who went every weekend to Brixton to buy cannabis, told me he’d never been stopped & searched by the police. I wonder why?!!!

Don’t have those stats. Criticism in The Times was of drug searches.

And how many black youth have died at the hands of......black youth....with knives. Who are disproportionately more likely to be involved in drug/gun/gang crime? Let just stop searching them because it offends the liberal elite.

1. We are talking about drug searches. 2. You need more than skin colour to justify a search. Being black is not reasonable grounds to suspect someone may be in possession of a knife.

I never said it did. I just pointed out the elephant in the room.

The elephant in the room in some inner city areas in the North and Scotland is white. Doesn’t justify stopping searching young white men without reasonable suspicion.

Goodnight Mr Paddick, you carry on being a protector of those most cops know are committing disproportionately more crime.
