it is exactly in how they choose whom to stop & search that authority can be abused

Not just "can be", but routinely IS BEING abused.

It's bad when the police routinely flout the law.

flout -
transitive verb: to treat with contemptuous disregard
intransitive verb: to indulge in scornful behavior
See Flaunt

flaunt -
transitive verb: to display ostentatiously or impudently; to treat contemptuously intransitive verb: to display or obtrude oneself to public notice; to wave or flutter showily
