While the Metropolitan police Commissioner Paul Stephenson mumbles noises about reducing the use of Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000, his Officers continue to abuse their powers.

Just in July, two plain clothed officers carried out a search in that hot bed of terrorism, Woolwich, SE London and managed to find the behaviour of a six year old girl, her neighbour a girl aged eleven and that girls father, who were walking to a bus stop, as sufficiently dubious that they were stopped and searched using Section 44.

The IPCC are managing the investigation of  the complaint, the Metropolitan police are not yet convinced this event really happened at all, despite the fact that the man was asked to stand in front of a CCTV camera to have his photograph taken and one of the officers also took his photograph, as well as seizing mobile phone, USB and CD from the man. The complaint also surrounds the property which the man has no idea when it will be returned and was provided with no information about who to contact to do so.

The girls were questioned and searched under the same powers.

The Metropolitan Police are a dangerous out of control death squad. Their propensity to murdering innocent people is widely known. Allegations and investigations are being undertaken of police officers in the Met torturing suspects and they continue to abuse their powers.

This is a police force which must be broken up completely. After decades of so called reform and PR speak, they continue to operate outside the law. The history of the corruption of the flying squad in the ’60s, endemic racism in the ’70s and ’80s. Murder in the ’90s and ’00s is the legacy of the Metropolitan Police.
