I agree. But it becomes irrelevant in this case. 'Plod' did pull him over and dealt with it in the only way they could. With sense, safety and respect in mind. Oh, and legally.

 

The police will also be reacting to it being out of its area as I would imagine the car is registered to his present address which I imagine is leeds going by what the girlfriend said to the police.

 

Do you have any figures for the positive results of these stops?

 

Yeah but it shouldn't be irrelevant. West Midlands police have quoted the stop was for drugs and firearms purposes, i'd question why local beat officers are pulling a car over in these circumstances armed only with a taser. That begs the question as whether there was a risk of a firearm being found at all.

 

The they are making way too a point of this being a stop for a firearm. Maybe hoochy was right, maybe they did pull him cos he's a black guy with a nice car.

 

So 70% of stops don't have a positive outcome. That's a lot! You're also approximately 9 times more likely to be stopped as a BAME person.

Here's a 2016 government report that suggests that the tactic has 'no discernible crime reducing effects' to read.

I never suggested that.

 

I'm not going to make any suggestions like that. I do think that there should by more stringent guidelines for stops. As I've already said, if the BRE case is investigated and there was a cloned plate record then the police are right to stop him, of course they are.

There's no reason why stop and search should end completely. As long as police are acting on proper intelligence.

 

It's a fine line and the police have a tough job. I don't envy them at all.

I don't have the answers here, this goes much deeper than stops and searches. This is history, it's sub-conscious bias, this is an unjust society, this is the result of people living in poverty, this is so many things.

 

As I pointed out earlier the law firm is a current City sponsor so it's more than likely pro bono and results in yet more publicity for the firm

 

True, possibly a little bit of spin in there

Anyway, forget his dodgy car, I’d arrest BRE for impersonating a professional footballer.

Still funny though and true.

 

hes a big lump that cant pass for shit under a manger who plays pass and move football. how does his style suit mccalls way of playing?

 

Because, in the abysmal league, we often come up against centre forwards who are big lumps. You need a ball playing centre half next to BRE and then you've got a good LG2 centre back pairing. Or he can be left of 3 in a 352 (or whatever variation McCall goes with.

 

Constantly pissing around - that’s what I understood?!

 

I was wondering the same.
Knowing the media, as soon as they find out everything was in good order and that the complaint holds no water, it won’t be all over the news.
