The Home Secretary announces intention to extend police officers’ ‘stop and search’ powers

The Home Secretary Sajid Javid has announced plans to give police officers broader powers to stop and search members of the public. These proposed measures are reported to be intended to address incidents of acid-throwing and to prevent people from carrying laser points and using drones. At present, a police officer can only stop someone they suspect of carrying acid if they have evidence that that person is about to cause an injury.
