True! I think they would have a good chance to win...but, that is after you get a few hits from the GC and ruin your night out AND your entire holiday. So everyone just works along with what they ask you to do. Including me.
We aren’t I’m afraid. If they suspect, they have a right to stop and search. It maybe called something different in different countries but that is what it is. They don’t have to proven suspicion. It’s just how it is. Creates a lot of issues in the UK due to the proportion of bame groups that are subjected to it.
Well I think we do agree, cause we're saying the same thing. But this is my last post about this for now cause I dont wanna derail too much from the topic. IF they suspect...yes. But there are very little countries in the world...where there is a law that says police can randomly stop & search cars. Or people. There HAS TO BE a suspicion. And they have to be able to explain that suspicion, not prove it...but there needs to be a ground for their actions. And that they often bend that....or say that they saw someone driving strange or having red eyes or smelling like something..whatever, yeah they will. That's why I think @CasaNegron is right when he says people could successfully sue the police in this case, pulling people out of taxi's? On what grounds? But hey...like I said, I would just smile and do what they want cause I dont want my night to be ruined.
Welcome in Spain, France, Italy...
No mate, you said there actually is not stop and search legislation in place in many countries in the western world. There is, I’m sorry but there is. Doesn’t matter if you are on foot, in a car, on a train or on a space shuttle, if the police are suspicious they have the right to stop and search you. As @jimmiz is alluding to, they can turn up at every night club in Ibiza and have enough suspicion to justify searching anyone. You would be naive to think otherwise.
Studied and worked in law. Im not making it up
The way it is in The Netherlands...and I think more EU countries.
Police cannot search random people on the street. They need a suspicion, a reason to search you. That reason cannot be the simple fact you seem to be going out to a club because you are in that area or in a taxi near the club. Sometimes they will stop your car and ask if you will let them search your car voluntary, but that's your choice then. There's one exception, when a mayor declares a certain area to be at risk for crime and then they can search you randomly. But that's only in a limited timeframe and area.
Now bouncers is another thing. You enter a venue, so you comply with the rules that venue has. If one of those rules is: no drugs and weapons and you can be searched for that. You comply with the search by entering the venue.
i think people's expectations about the new government are way too high. to clarify, the ayuntamiento didn't grant the license to amnesia to finish any later than 6am...
