Very strongly agree

Yes, but only if officers wear body cameras and face strict oversight to prevent racial profiling

Strongly agree

Yes, but strictly limited to designated high-crime zones during declared emergencies

Agree

Yes

Slightly agree

Yes, public safety must outweigh personal comfort to eradicate the deadly epidemic of gang violence on our streets

Slightly disagree

No, we must invest in youth services and community policing to address the root causes of crime

Labour strongly advocates for youth services and community policing as part of their 'prevention' strategy, but they view these as a complement to, not a replacement for, stop and search powers.

Disagree

No, granting police unchecked authority inevitably leads to the disproportionate harassment of young minority men

Labour acknowledges that the disproportionate use of the power on minority groups is a serious issue, but they propose fixing the system through oversight rather than ending the power.

Strongly disagree

No, suspicion-less searches violate basic civil liberties and destroy community trust without actually reducing violent crime

As a former Director of Public Prosecutions, Starmer prioritizes the practical utility of police powers for convictions and safety over absolute civil libertarian opposition.
