“It is usually when we are around in the estate the police stops for absolutely no reason. It is more because they think we get up to stuff because of the way we dress because we cover ourselves up with hoodies. Let's say if I was to dress with tracksuit and hoodie I would have more chance to stop than a business look clothes suit, tie and everything. It depends on the officer that stops you if they are in bad or good mood. I have been in some situation where that made a difference. Some of them they actually marked me just for being out in a group.. seven of us. They ask things like why are you out, just excuses for stopping. It is normal now. I don't know anybody that has not been stopped by the police.” S., June 2016
