This chapter argues that police at all levels should be accountable for stop and account practices, and they should be accountable to both the public and official regulators, and that accountability should centre much more on citizen recordings of street-level interactions rather than police-created records. It also reflects on the rise and fall of national policy concern about stop and account, and draws out more general lessons about the possibility of entrenching meaningful accountability measures where routine street policing is concerned. The chapter talks about three models of stop and account will be sketched namely the crime detection model, the social disciplining model, the criminal intelligence model. Regrettably, Flanagan demonstrated no appreciation of the criminal intelligence and social disciplining models of stop and account. The core argument is that the recording of street policing for accountability purposes is only likely to be successful if citizens, rather than the police, create the relevant records.
