it sounds like it. Sensible of him to keep the receipts, otherwise people would just say he was making it up. (I expect they'll say it anyway.)

I wonder if all the other black men in the area have been stopped 300 times - and if so why they aren't complaining about it?

naomi, perhaps you could start your own thread if you have another question. This one's piggynose's and it offers the opportunity for a Yes fo No answer rather than an attempted diversion.

jno, I don't have a yes or no answer. Unlike you, I don't claim to know whether or not this is true - and if it is I would like to know why it happened to him and not others..... if that's alright with you. If it isn't, tough.

Tough, ain't it.

As my old pal Cecil used to say "Just think how much worse it would be if I was black." (Yes, as your hat, he was).

He can't be making it up as he has the receipts, unless he's also a forger.

It's not OTT if he was doing something to arouse police suspicion.

I don't know if he is making it up or not but

//After each stop and search, he kept the receipts as a record.//

A. I doubt an eleven-year-old would keep any receipt.
B. He would know and state exactly how many times he had been pulled...not say 'about 300 times'

either way, by now, he's not going to carry anything he shouldn't is he?

"It's not OTT if he was doing something to arouse police suspicion. "

I think that boils down to 'being black' as far as the WMP are concerned.

His job is counselling young people on how to deal with Stop & Search. Does the mod that removed my answer realise that?
