Or maybe just simply profiling e.g nice car in rundown neighbourhood, rundown car in nice neighbourhood, DWB e.t.c.
The chap in the videos below is a well known artist on the British hip hop/grime scene. Well spoken chap with a degree and doing good for himself, doesnt drink or smoke and has never been in trouble with the police/law. For some reason he is getting stopped 3 times a month by police forces in different areas.
Profiling? Maybe not. It could be that purple t shirt in a black car.

The third video reminds me of the line from that song "Police Officer" by the late Smiley Culture.The chap in the videos below is a well known artist on the British hip hop/grime scene.

How ironic he 'died' during contact with the police.Elroy Blue said:
I can think of many words for him. Reasonable certainly isn't one of them.
The sooner body worn cameras are rolled out to everybody the better. Then all these "Who me, I didn't do anything. You're making it up", will be shown up for the lying trolls they are.

What? Doesn't this sum up the main reason most of the British public hate the police? Isn't this all they ever do?
Where are you drawing that conclusion from, other than making it up? All internal / external surveys place a greater (most a fair bit greater) than 50% trust / confidence in the police which gives pretty clear indication that "most" (greater than 50%) don't hate the police.
Outside of the internet I don't know anyone who hates the police.
Or doesn't trust the police.
I know a few who don't like speed cameras or are still angry that a copper once told them off for being a drunk cock.
But, outside of petty stuff I don't know anyone who doesn't like and trust the police.
Oh, except for a few old acquaintances who hate the police because they got arrested for breaking into cars. I'm not sure their opinions are valid though.

Of course not. I referenced JME's story as part of an answer to someone who said maybe Mr Bacon came in contact with police so often because he was a smart ae.JME's videos and the reference to Stuart Lawrence was to explain that many ordinary and law abiding people are unfairly targeted by the police.
There surely can be no justification for the police to continuosly stop the same person on average 3 times a month. The police could be execused if these were intelligence led stops or traffic violation stops but no they are not. They are 'random' stops of a peaceful and law abiding citizen for ridiculous reasons.
Not everyone has the patience of a high school teacher and would remain as calm as JME after amassing 75 stop and search slips.
Maybe, just maybe Mr Bacon is one of this unfairly targeted demographic and he has had enough.

I'm the only one who mentioned 'smart arse' and it was more about the perception I'm sure the police have of him rather than any personal opinion of my own.JME's videos and the reference to Stuart Lawrence was to explain that many ordinary and law abiding people are unfairly targeted by the police.

Reading between the lines and looking at other videos of Mr Bacon's it would appear he rather enjoys the game of cat and mouse he's playing with the law enforcement community.
I agree with wholeheartedly with your points about profiling having been a victim of it myself BTW.
Only managed 3 of Eclassless's attempt at propaganda...all the videos to me, show professional officers, essentially doing their job. They explain themselves well (perhaps less so the second one) but sufficiently. I don't see ANY searches, but I do see lawful stop checks, which would have required nothing but S.163.
The author doesn't actually even seem that vexed at being stopped and clearly even quite enjoys the third encounter. But keep trying Eclass. I commend your resilience.

It couldn't be possible 'YouTuber' deliberately instigates these stops for some benefit (hits on YouTube), could it? His version must be absolute truth.
The one experience I have on this subject is a young man kept getting stopped whilst driving. He was 17 but looked like he was 12. He got stopped quite a few times until officers knew him / an email was sent around.

Here's a bit of a wake up call. Some people deliberately goad and put themselves in a position that will result in a stop. I know a few in my area. They can then complain and be the professional 'victim'. The local rags love it.Elroy Blue said:

As for the rest of it I imagine it gets annoying being stopped by the police if it happens frequently..
