Police State: Push for new UK stop and search laws

If this goes into law, will the US be far behind? Not if the Bush administration is still in office.

Its a fucking race to the bottom. Any bets on who'll win?

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is planning to give police the power to stop and search people without giving a reason, sources have told the BBC. It comes as Tory leader David Cameron urged greater use of stop and search to combat gun and knife crime. The two leaders clashed earlier in the Commons with Mr Cameron urging Mr Brown to scrap forms officers must fill in when they stop someone.

They're missing the obvious solution. Profile everyone and throw the miscreants in prison before they can do the crime.
