00:00 It's probably fair, but only if they actually do have reason,
00:03 because I think sometimes it's just a bit dodgy when they just ask you out of nowhere.
00:09 But yeah.
00:10 Well, I've never been asked.
00:10 I don't know, I just see stuff like that all the time.
00:13 It's just like, if you actually do have suspicion, then probably yeah, but...
00:17 I don't think it's necessarily a good thing,
00:20 as when this stuff happens, it's usually on a racial reasoning,
00:24 not just, "Oh, this person looks suspicious."
00:27 So I think they should give reasoning on why,
00:30 and not just see, "Oh, that person is not white, let's search them."
00:35 Well, if they're suspicious of people, then yeah, it's important.
00:41 They think there's some criminal activity going on, then yeah.
00:44 If there's no aggravation involved, and there's no violence,
00:52 they don't see this, police and the public, sometimes it just clashes.
