This is the official account of COST Action CA17102 'Police Stops': expect updates on all issues related to police stop and search practices across Europe

[POLSTOP @POLSTOPEU]

@MPalmer3270 Our interest will be in practice and experience across Europe. But also want to explore accountability and the politics in these different national contexts. #policestops #StopandSearch

Unbelievable that an Ace of Spades was used to cover the face of a Black person stopped by police in @MPSEnfield

[Geoff Pearson @Geoff_Pearson]

In 2020, @livmpa & I recommended that routine traffic stops be recorded, to identify possible racial disproportionality & help us understand disproportionality in other areas of policing. This recommendation was taken up by @policeconduct & then @CollegeofPolice & @PoliceChiefs.

‘The intractability of stop and search in policing is demonstrated by its propensity to shapeshift when scrutinised’. Stop and engage in Scotland is one such stop and search ‘adjacent’ tactic, says @eclayto3 https://t.co/oIM7f8FTGn

Judge Tan Ikram: “The officer made an error of judgment and overreacted.”

I imagine this case will fuel debates within policing about whether errors of judgement should be dealt with through the courts.

Will there be operational implications?

I've posted two #stopsearch-related threads today. The first looks at recent volumes in the longer-term context, as well as sitting S&S alongside knife crime with injury. https://t.co/Xiz3jyDEih

Met publishes response to @CarolineRussell stop and search concerns, in which they mention ‘precision stop and search’ pilot, currently at the evaluation stage... looking forward to seeing the full results

Fantastic article by @eclayto3 on post-reform #stopandsearch in @PoliceScotland. Using #ethnographic research, she demonstrates how antagonistic policing of young people continued despite wide-ranging policy changes.
