In a bid to combat knife crime, the police want a rule change that allows them to use stop and search without reasonable ground
POLICE CHIEFS are appealing for an expansion of stop and search to combat knife crime by lowering the level of suspicion an officer needs to take action.
According to reports, they want to scrap the requirement that ‘reasonable grounds’ are needed before a suspect can be frisked.
The plans were confirmed by Adrian Hanstock, the deputy chief constable of the British Transport Police and national lead on stop and search for the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
