Police in the United Kingdom are stopping White people for no reason other than to skirt accusations of racial profiling, wasting thousands of British pounds in the process, says independent terror law reviewer Lord Carlile.
The unjustified and ‘almost certainly’ illegal searches of White British people are being done to provide ‘racial balance’ to Government figures. Lord Carlile, a Liberal Democrat, wrote in his report that “I have evidence of cases where the person stopped is so obviously far from any known terrorism profile that, realistically, there is not the slightest possibility of him/her being a terrorist, and no other feature to justify the stop.”
Last year, the number of whites searched under anti-terror laws rocketed by 185 per cent, from 25,962 to 73,967.
“In one situation the basis of the stops was numerical only, which is almost certainly unlawful and in no way an intelligent use of the procedure,” he wrote.
Lord Carlile went on to say that “I believe it is totally wrong for any person to be stopped in order to produce a racial balance in the Section 44 statistics. There is ample anecdotal evidence this is happening.”

“I can well understand the concerns of the police that they should be free from allegations of prejudice, but it is not a good use of precious resources if they waste them on self-evidently unmerited searches.”
“It is also an invasion of the civil liberties of the person who has been stopped, simply to ‘balance’ the statistics,” he wrote.
“The criteria for section 44 stops should be objectively based, irrespective of racial considerations: if an objective basis happens to produce an ethnic imbalance, that may have to be regarded as a proportional consequence of operational policing.”
Lord Carlile later said the number of Section 44 searches could be cut by half in London without damaging national security.
