Banksy's 2007 Stop And Search, a signed screen print of 500, satirizes the UK government's stop-and-search policy by depicting a modern-day policeman searching Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. The piece takes a cynical view of Dorothy’s famous line, "There's no place like home," highlighting the policy's disproportionate impact on ethnic minorities.
