You're forgetting mate. police have legal right to stop anyone they have cause to believe has been or intends to be involved in breaking the law. at any time on the street.
Or is hackney a no - go zone now?
We are talking about stop and search; and it always inflames situations. London is a tinderbox right now, especially in the ethnically diverse inner cities. Stop and search is pouring petrol on it.
Just been out, it said on the news that it was all over in Hackney. I can report the contrary. A car is overturned at the end of my street and is on fire. There are 3 factions of people - the public, the rioters and the police.
Most of the people here understand the plight of the many disaffected youths here - though its scant consolation for anyone who gets their property destroyed or their businesses looted (nearly all the shops are shut).
Hardly anyone has any respect for the police round here, for good reason.
