Those “Progressive” Brits vis-à-vis Racial Profiling

From the “progressive” country that prides itself on its extremely inefficient Single-Payor National Health Care system, we have something else to learn from it. It appears that in a show of “fairness”:

White members of the public are being unlawfully detained by the police in order to give “racial balance” to stop-and-search statistics, a report by the Government’s watchdog on terror laws has found.”

Lord Carlile, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said he knew of cases where suspects were stopped by officers even though there was no evidence or suspicion against them.

He warned that police were wasting money by carrying out “self-evidently unmerited searches” which were an invasion of civil liberties and “almost certainly unlawful”.

Rule, “Bright”annia.
