That link above about stops in London is pretty long for you to read, heres' a highilght:

There is greater disproportionality under section 60, a power which does not require officers to have suspicion in order to search a person. Black people were searched at 11 times the rate of whites, mixed people at just under three times, Asians twice, and Chinese or 'other' people just under one and a half times the rate of whites across the Capital.

No suspicion, just racial profiling/harassment.

Checkmate.

Interesting. If you dig into that, black people are overly represented when it comes to stop and search, but not stop and account. Black people are asked what they're doing at 1.1x the rate white people are. But black people are searched way more often. So why the difference here? Again, I can think of one reason immediately that isn't "racism". Perhaps white people are less obnoxious when stopped by police, perhaps black people are more likely to act like they're trying to hide something. But of course this is speculation, just as you're speculating by saying it's racial profiling or harassment.

I think you're reading that wrong. 1.1x means 110% more, not 10% more.

Edit: Oh wait, I think I'm wrong. Nvr mind.



In any case, stop and account is miles less intrusive than stop and search. The cop is basically just saying hello to see if you run away.

^^ Gives a race-based explanation that he claims isn't racism.

This is the exact wording. I'm pretty sure you're wrong to say this represents 110% rather than 10%. If 100 whites get pulled, 110 blacks get pulled. That's 1.1x the rate.

In fact this is wrong, too. Those numbers are surely per capita. But there's no way "1.1x the rate" means 110% more, it meas 110% in total, ie 10% more than 100%.
