ever since people started protesting about it the number of stops has reduced dramatically, and last year the police were instructed to stop being so enthusiastic, so I do expect it to stop. If it doesn't they'll find themselves in court again. It won't stop officious security guards and similar from trying to stop us, but they have no powers of arrest or search.
