Recently cops have been stopping my car searching it etc stopping me approaching me in car parks etc asking what i am doing. Maybe 10 times in a period of 8 months
I think this is due to the security situation to an extent but also the area where I live etc
You are entitled to get a record of all stops (except traffic stops) as I was stopped under Justice and Security legislation for the search of guns and munitions a few times.
I was told on one occassion that it is a digital printout you get in the station now and they do not provide paper copies.
I went to police station. No record of me EVER being stopped by police.
Since then I ALWAYS ask for a record, make a note, keep teh record and take all other details I think are relevant.
Not all cops are assholes but I think in time with the best of intentions that you can and do sometimes abuse power.
I also learned teh law with regards to these stops and it does ruffle their feathers but makes sure that they do not mess me about.
