Research conducted by the coalition StopWatch demonstrated black people were stopped and searched at over 3 times the rate of white people across London in 2014/15. Under section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act officers acting with inspector approval can search anyone, with or without reasonable grounds. Of the 539,788 stop and searches made in England from 2014-2015 only 14 percent led to an arrest. It seems that a systematic bias sees young black people stereotyped as drug dealers.
