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...<br>
<br>
I did not hear about that having any effect on the Amsterdam
establishment.<br>
<br>
Same campaign found two verdicts from ECoHR the declared such
arbitrary stops and searches illegal. :/<br>
<br>
I meant, on the topic of what is plausible to happen in Amsterdam.
Teh place is not so good.<br>
