Good to see some positive action taking place in Greenwich Borough. Those with nothing to hide will have nothing to fear. Stop and search is a much needed and very successful way of tackling crime and particular the rise in knife crime,
giving the police more power? for you? or to use against you?
I have been searched numerous times at almost every time they have found nothing
