every time I've been stopped, this has been the "reason" - you match the description of someone described carrying out a burglary in the area. for a stop and search, there has to be justifiable reason.
I'm not white by the way.
but it's easy to bash the police. In my experience, they will abuse every power they have in order to meet their objectives. They're trained not to question, but to stop crime. an admirable objective, by sometime occasionally questionable methods. It's the best we've got kids.
