The Koblenz administrative court in North Rhine-Westphalia rejected a complaint by a black German man who argued with two federal police after they demanded to see his identity papers as he was traveled by train, The Local reported in its German edition.
Court documents indicated the man refused to show officers his papers and was removed from the train. At a police station, his backpack was searched and his driver's license found. Police charged the man in the incident. During a hearing, one of the officers said a person's skin color was one of the criteria he uses when trying to decide which travelers to check, court documents indicated. The man sued, saying the police officers' conduct was illegal.
The administrative court disagreed, ruling the officers didn't act illegally, but relied on their "border policing experience." The court noted that the man had been asked for identification on a route used for illegal entry into Germany although it didn't say where the incident occurred.
