openrightsgroup, 11 months ago The UK Home Secretary has accelerated prejudicial stop and search powers in a supposed attempt to stop crime. They should instead pause and reflect on how these powers exacerbate racism and harms to Black and other people of colour in the UK. The use of search to potentially attain electronic devices and extract data from them is not lost on ORG either. We raised this last year in our response to the draft code of practice. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/publications/consultation-response-police-extraction-powers-code/ #policing #ukpolitics https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/19/suella-braverman-tells-police-to-ramp-up-use-of-stop-and-search
