There were four of them, all with guns (which one of them pointed at me) and they made me 'spread' against a wall while they went through my bag and pockets and shouted at me in Serbian, which i didnt understand. Very scary stuff, but all funny now. I didnt get a souvenir ticket though. The reason they weren't stopping any minorities is because they have to balance the quota of people they stop and search. Gordon Browns ridiculous and over-sensitive political correctness makes everyone, especially those with some authority (apparently), overly cautious about being accused of racial discrimination, so they try so hard not to be discriminate against one ethnic group they up doing it towards another. Classic case of socially-retarded governing by a man who lacks nothing in stupidity. But, as you say, if they stopped every Asian man with a backpack they saw there would be outrage, so they grab the nearest Hungarian/American writer and aim to balance the paperwork!

Good grief its either profiling or something far more surreal ! Out of interest did you ask them if you could see their warrant badges ? Did you ask them for their warrant numbers, names and where they were stationed ? Did you ask if you could be accompanied by another member of the public whilst you were questioned ? It seems all the above questions when used usually put he back up of the police officers at which point you can point out the same annoyance that in a country which whose previous generations fought against such idiocy your having to answer the same ? I appreciate you can see the funny side of this and theres plenty funny about it but I find it awful to think the police are becoming more like an armed force than a civil protection service.
