No UK Terror Arrests in 100,000 Searches
|
|
"More than 100,000 people were stopped and searched by counter terrorism police last year but none of them were arrested for terrorism related offences.
Home office figures published on Thursday showed that only 504 people out of the 101,248 searches carried out were arrested for any offence, the Guardian reported. These figures correspond to an arrest rate of 0.5%, compared with an average 10% arrest rate for street searches under normal police powers.
The home office report has prompted the former Conservative home affairs spokesman David Davis to call for the controversial policy to be scrapped."
