You have a right to complain about the conduct of a police officer during a #stopandsearch if you feel their behaviour fell below the required standard. Our Y.Stop App allows you to do this quickly & easily. Download it today for free on Andriod & iOS youtube.com/watch?v=CIM-PipK…

Some news: We're currently in the process of fixing the Y-Stop app due to some bugs, therefore it has temporarily been taken down from the App Store until these issues are resolved

Had ‘the talk’ recently with my two sons around interacting with the Police. @YStopUK’s video will really reinforce what I told them especially around receipts. Nice one @D_Tribal for the tip off! xitter.cf/D_Tribal/status/140766…
