While the judicial issue remains unsolved in the European context, the US have achieved the broad consensus that racial/ethnic profiling is inadmissible for the conduct of police measures.

Through these checks they are publically marked as suspects and at the same time suspected to be illegalized immigrants.

Thanks a lot, Sharon! This is a human rights issue; the basic right to breathe freely and not be suspected of criminality, that affects people on both sides of the Pond. Will pass on!
