I was very upset to see, as I left the Respect Festival yesterday, a group of police swooping on a crowd of young boys and detaining them under S60 of the Public Order Act. The boys appeared to be aged 14-16 and I counted 20 black and 2 white boys detained by 30 police officers. Each one was photographed before being allowed to leave. I gather the pretext was 'a search for weapons' but there didn't appear to be any and it seemed to be pure intimidation, racist and not at all respectful.
