Petition Compensation for victims of stop and search.
More details
If you are subjected to a stop and search by a police officer, but the search reveals nothing illegal, the officer should award you on-the-spot damages of £5, and say sorry.
This will save time, paperwork and money, improve police efficiency, protect individuals' privacy, and reduce rioting.
