Skin colour reason enough for police identity check, says German court...

A German court's ruling that the police can check an individual's ID on the basis of skin color has drawn severe backlash from the black community, which likened the court decision to institutionalized racism.

The administrative court of Koblenz in western Germany dismissed a complaint by a black German who was asked to show his documents while on board a train, German media reported.

He was taken to the police station after he refused to produce his ID for police verification. The two federal police officers who questioned the man filed a complaint in the court alleging that the black man abused them in the process.

One of the officers said he checked the ID of train passengers if he considered them foreign citizens based on their appearance and skin color. Full story...
