idk if this is right but:

against: stop and search powers are heavily racially biased (as you can see with current events). POC tend to be stopped and searched more than whites solely because of the color of their skin. It’s discriminatory and harmful to POC communities. Stop and search powers also give cops too much power. They can abuse it and stop whoever they want, wrongly accusing many

for: people who are speeding can be given a ticket for endangering the road. ppl will slow down and watch their speed bc homies got caught, making streets safer
