And it doesn't matter if people from the Maghreb states are 20% or 50% more criminal, they have their rights protected until they commit a crime and are convicted. It's the polices job to respect their rights as well, not just those of white people. We believe in universal human rights for a reason, these are not restricted by arbitrary lines on the map.
Some people come here to abuse their right of asylum or just to steal and molest people, noone is denying that. But we have to judge this case by case, generalizations have no place in jurisdiction.
Racial profiling IS illegal in every EU state (in the US as well afaik). It's just near impossible to prove and to enforce.
