Changes in the police stop and search monitoring.
Recommendations have been made to improve the way the police record information when undertaking a stop and search on a motorist.
At the moment the police are not required to record details of stop and search on a vehicle, which has lead to concerns that certain groups of the community are being disproportionately affected.
The present law does have an anomaly in respect to the records for stop and search as incidences of stop and search on the streets are recorded.
The recommendations were made by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, following a public survey of over 10,000 people where it concluded that black and ethnic minorities were more likely to be stopped.
The body published a report in 2013 covering stop and search and found that the recommendations had largely failed in any improvement apart from the use of better technology.
Stop and search can have a massive affect on how the police are viewed when getting it wrong and in only 10% of cases, was any further action taken.
Stop and search can be very intrusive, with police having the power to strip search, an area where the report recommends detailed records if more than the outer garments be removed.
It has been accepted that the police have failed to address the issues in the 2013 report, with budget cuts being blamed for the lack of training and awareness given.
The home secretary has pointed to the fact that stop and searches had fallen by a third in the past few years, but has promised that if stop and searches do not become better targeted and recorded then a change in Law would be necessary.
The Labour party have also added there concerns to the reports finding and have pledged to change the law rather than 'tinker with it'.
