There are a lot of excellent legal documents on imc and other sites about section 60. But most dont mention how the police actually use section 60's...

Like, they are only supposed to be searching for weapons, but all the times i've been searched they will search your wallet and papers for "razor blades". Whats the legality of this? Also i've had cops writting down what train ticket i had, i.e. destination, and other intelligence, are they allowed to blatantly use section 60 for info collection?
And how big an area is a section 60 allowed to cover, cause it seemed like the whole of brighton was covered last sunday? Whats next the whole of britain section 60'd for next mayday or something?
