:03:01. > :03:04.will have local employment. Great skill set, a good customer service

:03:43. > :03:53.could also be jobs in the supply chain in the wider region to the
:03:53. > :03:56.companies based there. But not all will be new jobs. As you heard the
:03:56. > :03:58.councillor say in the film, some jobs will be relocated from

:05:56. > :06:01.vicarage of the town of Cornbury. He had been stabbed many times. He

:06:07. > :06:12.then he worked in Essex where he was filmed for the BBC. Both have
:06:12. > :06:16.been described as pillars of their community. Candlelit vigils and

:06:35. > :06:38.the right of officers to stop and search people in the street who
:06:38. > :06:41.they believe may be breaking the law. It can lead to resentment
:06:41. > :06:44.among young black people, who are seven times more likely to be
:06:44. > :06:47.stopped than white people, according to official figures. In
:06:47. > :06:49.Birmingham tonight, a new Civil Rights Card is being launched by a
:06:49. > :06:53.lobbying group for the African and Caribbean community. It explains to
:06:53. > :06:56.young people why they might be stopped and what they can do if
:06:56. > :07:02.they are. Giles Latcham reports. Stopped and searched - important
:07:02. > :07:06.powers say the police but their use can anger and antagonise. I know
:07:06. > :07:08.you were detained when you are arrested. Daniel's been stopped and
:07:08. > :07:14.searched several times, he thinks the power's used disproportionately
:07:14. > :07:17.against people of a certain colour or background. Just because people
:07:17. > :07:20.are from lower-class backgrounds doesn't mean they are aiming for a
:07:20. > :07:24.life of crime. To be in the area and just tarnished with the same
:07:24. > :07:30.brush as your neighbour is not right, everybody is an individual
:07:30. > :07:33.and has the right to do what they want. A So how about those rights?
:07:33. > :07:36.The officers who stop you have to give their names and stations,
:07:36. > :07:38.explain the grounds for suspicion and provide you with a written
:07:38. > :07:45.record if you want one, rights explained in this pocket sized
:07:45. > :07:48.guide produced here in Birmingham. It's the work of solicitors

:08:02. > :08:06.improve whilst there is a disproportionate and improper and a
:08:06. > :08:09.lawful use and exercise of these powers. The latest figures for
:08:09. > :08:17.England and Wales show that per 1,000, 125 black people are stopped
:08:17. > :08:19.and searched. Compared to less than 50 Asians. And about 20 white
:08:19. > :08:22.people, making black people seven times more likely to be stopped.
:08:22. > :08:31.The man who oversees West Midlands Police says the force must be
:08:31. > :08:35.mindful of the harm the misuse of stop and search can do. It needs to
:08:35. > :08:39.carry the public with it on any aspect of policing organisation it
:08:39. > :08:43.carries out. Stop-and-search is contentious, necessary, but needs
:08:43. > :08:45.to be used appropriately and sensitively. There's anecdotal
:08:45. > :08:55.evidence that anti-police sentiment during last summer's riots was
:08:55. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :08:59.exacerbated by anger about stop and search. The reality is its use in
:08:59. > :09:02.the West Midlands has decreased drastically in recent years, but
:09:02. > :09:09.for some it's a power which tests to breaking point the concept of
:09:09. > :09:12.policing by consent. Let's talk now to Dr Robert Beckford, author,
:09:12. > :09:17.academic and supporter of the civil card scheme who joins us now from
:09:17. > :09:26.it's launch event in Birmingham. Good evening. What do you hope
:09:26. > :09:29.these cards will achieve? A to empower people within the Community
:09:29. > :09:32.to know their rights if they are stopped by the police and to
:09:32. > :09:36.encourage the police to do their job, observe the legal framework in
:09:36. > :09:42.which they are meant to be working in. How realistic is it that young
:09:42. > :09:46.black people will bother to carry one though? We hope it is snazzy
:09:46. > :09:50.enough and a portable enough for young people to carry it, given the
:09:50. > :09:55.gravity of the situation. It is not really a matter of choice, it is a
:09:55. > :09:57.matter of necessity. We need to insure their good police and
:09:57. > :10:02.community relations and we feel this will go some way towards
:10:02. > :10:06.improving the situation. I have got one here, it is wallet sized.
:10:06. > :10:12.Police say stop and search is necessary, it cuts the drug and
:10:12. > :10:15.knife crime, do you agree? course it is necessary. But when
:10:15. > :10:19.you have a situation where African- Caribbean young people are seven
:10:19. > :10:25.times more likely to be stopped in comparison to their white
:10:25. > :10:28.counterparts, and in addition 150% increase in stop-and-search amongst
:10:28. > :10:33.African Caribbean men, that is not just about police doing their job,
:10:33. > :10:38.that is harassment. What effect is that having a young people you talk
:10:38. > :10:42.I think it makes you people fear the law in a negative way. Rather
:10:42. > :10:48.than having respect for the Lord they fear that the law is corrupt.
:10:48. > :10:53.This kind of thing used to happen in apartheid South Africa, you
:10:53. > :10:58.don't expect it to see it happening in a modern, democratic society
:10:58. > :11:03.like Britain in 2012. Obviously it upsets people, frustrates them.
:11:03. > :11:09.Police do say using stop-and-search, they are using it a lot less, what
:11:09. > :11:14.is your view? It is not so much about the quantity, it is about the
:11:14. > :11:21.quality. It is about having informed approaches to stop and
