It was found that police across the countries surveyed â the 27 EU member states plus the UK and North Macedonia â most often stopped men, young people, minority ethnic people, Muslims or people who did not identify as heterosexual. Officers searched or asked one in three minority ethnic people for their identity papers compared with 14% of the general population, defined as all groups surveyed. Four in five people in the general population said police treated them respectfully, compared with 46% from minority groups. The agencyâs paper draws on findings from the FRAâs Fundamental Rights Survey (2020), EU Minorities and Discrimination Survey (2017) and its Roma and Travellers Survey (2020).
