Not sure what for though.
Is there a list of banned items?
Should the police not be charging supermarkets for selling prohibited items, rather than some poor unsuspecting customer who probably isn’t aware of what is and what isn’t illegal.

The police statement that they are not going to search shopping trolleys for non-essential items is reassuring. However, they might like to take advice from the CPS before they consider such a move. The legislation sets out the types of stores which may open. But it does not provide any restrictions on what those stores may sell. So you see Tesco's and others...

This weekend.
Some have threatened to do that but I'm not sure they can decide what you can and cannot buy if the shops are open and selling products.
Glad I did my shopping today then.
Bring it on, I say. If plod investigates my trolley I shall be incarcerated.

More scaremongering ****.
Speaking at a press conference he said: "We will not, at this stage, be setting up roadblocks. We will not, at this stage, start to marshal supermarkets and checking the items in baskets and trolleys to see whether it's a legitimate, necessary item.

"But again, be under no illusion, if people do not heed the warnings and the pleas I'm making today, we will start to do that."

// Northamptonshire Police Chief Constable Nick Adderley warned his force is only 'a few days away' from introducing measures such as road blocks and searching shopping trolleys as people continue to flout the coronavirus regulations.

He said further measures will also be implemented should people continue to flout the regulations — including 'marshalling' supermarkets and checking the items in baskets and trolleys. //

Hmm, is a packet of Chocolate Hob-nobs, necessary ?
"may" and "could"
Will they next be telling supermarkets what they can, and can't sell?
Essentials...bread, milk, water,...or just bread and water?
Are non essential foods supposed to sit on the shelves until they go out of date?
jesus pigs will fly
and here is always someone on AB who will say
'yeah I saw one last night ....'

[PP puts on a pointy hat and flies away on a broom]
I can imagine Naomi.

It is going to be anarchy if they do start this, how do they decide what prportion of your shopping is allowable.

Will they intercept supermarket delivery vans?
