Stop and search powers for police are set to be permanently enhanced under Boris Johnson’s new strategy to tackle crime. The Prime Minister will use his first day after leaving self-isolation following a positive coronavirus contact to detail his new Beating Crime Plan, much of which was trailed in the media over the weekend. It will include a permanent relaxing of conditions on the use of Section 60 stop and search powers, under which officers can search someone without reasonable grounds in an area where serious violence is expected. Making this country safe is the single best and most effective way of levelling up – so that young people grow up in safer neighbourhoods everywhere.https://t.co/Cye7JNhUto
