Nice example of the police using s44 of the Terrorism Act to stop and search here, and good video material to get your students thinking about the balance between liberty and security.
The clip shows events as a Guardian journalist is searched under powers designed to stop terrorists…. a good starting point for a bit of police powers revision and some AO2 discussion (if you’re OCR!) in a week in which the police have had to be reminded that photographing buildings is not generally an offence per se....
