Oh i have already told my sister that she should file a complaint and she didn't need much convincing to do so. She has looked a little online, as have i, just to make sure of the rules.
They have only stopped and searched them because the owners of the restaurant have informed them that there was kids creating trouble, and my niece and her friends are kids who happen to have been in the nearby area when they got there and i really don't think that's good enough grounds.
Had they been asking them questions, maybe about if they had seen anything etc then thats fine but you can't take details and physically search someone just for being in the area a short while after something happened when you have no grounds to suspect they did anything.
Some coppers seem to think they can do this though, it seems. I have been stopped on more than one occasion to be asked what i was doing while simply walking back from the pub.
