Being an American I must first ask, what does their Constitution say about things like this. I do not want to confuse the American Constitution with someone elses.

Due to the linguistics of our laws the police can search basically who they deem fit for search. This can be a pain but I can kind of see why they do it. They're not arresting anyone for anything, just a quick search as more of a safety procedure. I don't think our police go completely overboard with it unless they're specifically told to target a certain group (like protesters) or if statistically non-white people.

They need a warrant to enter your property of course though.

This video is very clear, these cops went overboard, read the definition of reasonable suspicion. The police did not act in accordance to the law. No one should get searched everyday like the man in the video. Anyone who watched the whole video and thinks it's OK should go back in time to Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia.

Tea4one,
So for no reason it is fine to be shaken down? Look @ my funny, I'm going fishing for a reason to get more on you. I know I'm looking @ this from an American mindset, but really just a quick search as a safety procedure? What's next, rectal exam's with a plunger? Wait, that is only when you're taken back for questioning!

It's Love Police. Charlie Veitch's thing who certainly does know his thing. He is a leading figure in activism in England I think, especially to those on the internet.

In the UK the police must have reasonable suspicion.

"Accordingly, reasonable grounds for suspicion cannot be based solely on attitudes or prejudices towards certain types of people
