| Label | Should the police be allowed to stop and search anyone on the street with little reason? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Question text | I would now like to ask you some questions about stop and search. Stop and search is when two or more police officers stop someone on the street and search them. This is done to find out what the person has on them. A search may be done either with little reason or because the police suspect the person is doing something that is against the law. Do you think the police should, or should not, be allowed to stop anyone on the street with little reason and ask them if they are willing to be searched to find out what they have on them? | |||||||||||||||||||||
