A police officer has powers to stop and search you if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect you’re carrying drugs, a weapon, stolen property or something that you could use to commit a crime (e.g. a crowbar). You can only be stopped and searched without reasonable grounds if it has been approved by a senior police officer. The following figures were released by West Yorkshire Police via Police.uk for the month of June 2019. Photos for illustrative purposes and do not represent specific incidents.
