The Supreme Court has been accused of using “stereotypes” to justify the “targeting of young black men” after five judges gave their strong backing to the police’s random stop and search powers.

But campaign group StopWatch called the court’s decision “shocking” and “disappointing” and warned it risked eroding trust in the police. Click on the link below.
