Dear Sir or Madam,
BTP Officers have recently been performing random stop and searches
under S.44 of the Terrorism Act 2000. According to the officer in
this video: http://tinyurl.com/6m4jv4 - every 20th person is
stopped.
Please can you provide all or part of the following information.
1) The number of such searches undertaken since the implementation
of the Terrorism Act 2000.
2) The number of such searches which have resulted in further
action.
3) For those searches, what action was taken (arrest, caution etc).
4) If any arrests have been made - how many were on terrorism
related charges.
5) Of those arrested on terrorism charges, how many have been
successfully prosecuted.
6) Guidance provided to BTP officers on how to "randomly" select
people to be searched.
I would appreciate a reply in electronic format.
Yours faithfully,
Terence Eden

Have spoken to Vanessa Osborne who claims not to have received this request. I will resend both to her direct email address (firstname.lastname) and the office FoI address which is foi@btp.pnn.police.uk
She claims that they have a backlog of over a hundred FoI requests but were getting through them as best they can.
