Danny Rose has been chirping up about getting pulled over by the police for random stops 

boring 

I’d imagine it is boring if you keep getting stopped by the police for no good reason

Also annoying, upsetting and possibly humiliating

"For no good reason"

Thing is, from the police's perspective, there may be a good reason. We just don't know.

Well I don’t remember Leighton Baines moaning about it, so I don’t think it’s coz he’s a dangerous Leftback 

We all know exactly why it is. If folk want to keep their heads in the sand cos it makes them uncomfortable then crack on

the problem is, yes its racist to assume a black man in a flash car has nicked it, but the stats probably say that theres a greater limeliood that a flash car being driven by a 30 year old black guy has been nicked than one driven by a 30 year old white bloke

Maybe, police could check record of ownership before pulling over flash cars just cos theres a black fella driving it

If you were him and kept getting pulled over would you get pissed off?

Do they get to see a picture of the driver when they check the records?

Let’s not forget, according to the ONS the Police only carried out 370k stop and searches last year in the U.K, of which 70K were on someone who would identify as Black ethnicity 

The 2011 census has the U.K. black population at 2m, probably higher now. 

Based on those figures 3.5 Black people in every 100 will have been stopped and searched last year with 96.5 not getting bothered once. That’s if you flat phase it as well. Once you have allowed for Danny Rose getting hammered with stop and searches and the many others who also complain of being stopped and searched every week (think someone on this thread claimed three times a day for some known knife carrying criminals), then it’s highly likely that 99% of Black people don’t get bothered by the Police at all 

But let’s ignore those figures and instead beat ourselves up for being institutionally racist

I could be wrong but I dont think the stop and search figures include vehicle stops.

Just had a quick look and it suggest that they are included...

'A stop and search is when a police officer stops you or your vehicle and searches you'
