I am from Germany. Bavarian police is famous here. They do profiling based on your looks, it is called "Verdachtsunabhängige Personenkontrolle". I have heard plenty of complaints from people living in Bavaria, e.g. wearing dreadlocks means you are virtually guaranteed a number of searches and stops by police per year, without any probable cause or even a crime having happened.

If they did this to the majority of Bavarians, things would change quickly. So therefore my guess...

Also from Germany and heard the same stories about police in Bavaria. Bavaria is a lot more law and order than most other German states (some people compare this with the situation that Texas is a lot more law and order than most other US states; I really don't know whether this comparison fits or not).

Is Bavaria considered the Texas of Germany?
