New changes to stop and search due to be announced by jaqui smith next week will see a step back in time to the 80's pre brixton riots for londoners.

Jaqui Smith backed by both the Labour party and Conservatives will announce a change in the stop and search powers and a return of the sus laws, removed after the Brixton riots in 1984, this change will mean that officers are no longer required to fill out a search form or give any reason other than suspicion to stop and search you on the street. Undoubtedly this will affect black and asian youths the most, once again widening the divide between races and cultures. With changes like this you can be assured of explosive results.
