Watch the debate on SPTV
Carried 62/40
As an amendment to motion S4M-09557 in the name of Alison McInnes (Stop and Search), leave out from “Police Scotland” to end and insert "stop and search is an operational matter for Police Scotland and is making an important contribution to local policing and the reduction of violent crimes, including a 60% fall in crimes of handling an offensive weapon since 2006-07; welcomes the fact that crime in Scotland is at a 39-year low and officer numbers are more than 1,000 higher than in 2007; recognises that Police Scotland is accountable to the Scottish Police Authority, which is currently undertaking a detailed review of stop and search; further notes that less than 0.01% of all stop and searches have resulted in a complaint since April 2013, and believes that the proportionate use of stop and search makes Scotland's streets safer and thereby reduces fear of crime."
