At the beginning of 2012, the administrative court of Koblenz, in
Western Germany, dismissed a complaint by a black German man who was
asked to show his papers while traveling by train. The judges ruled that
skin color was reasonable grounds on which to carry out ID checks. The
sentence confirmed for the first time the existence and practice of
racial profiling in Germany.
