There was recently a civil rights campaign in Amsterdam against the
police being able to randomly stop-and-search people in the streets.
Information sheets from the public authorities even explicitly stated
the person stopped and searched did not necessarily have to be suspected
for anything. Apparently the stops and searches were rather random (as
in, no obvious discriminatory pattern against minority groups detected),
but still...

I did not hear about that having any effect on the Amsterdam establishment.

Same campaign found two verdicts from ECoHR the declared such arbitrary
stops and searches illegal. :/

I meant, on the topic of what is plausible to happen in Amsterdam. Teh
place is not so good.
