Britain: Thousands of Anti-Terror Searches Were Illegal
June 10th, 2010Via: BBC:
Thousands of people across the UK might have been stopped and searched illegally, figures released by the Home Office suggest.
Powers under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act were used in “error” after the proper authorisations were not given.
In one example, for April 2004, the Met Police wrongly stopped 840 people.
Dozens of other examples from across the UK have been uncovered before rules were tightened in 2008.

Yeah, and we all protested about this at the time and the Labour fascists stopped and arrested us using those very same powers.
From a stop and search to getting DNA on record while they could?
