It’s a fact that people are biased to other people based on first impressions/looks/skin color. Try as hard as we might, I unfortunately think it’s human nature. Police is very strongly biased the world over, even if it’s not PC to admit it. That said, I’m fairly certain that you’re allowed to decline showing your ID if you’re being stopped for no reason by police, but they can then take you to the station for identification you or let you go. And it depends on the country. In France I remember it’s very common for the police to “randomly” stop a certain kind of people and ask for ID on the spot. The picking of the “random” people wasn’t legal because as you might have guessed they were not so random, but police was allowed to card and anyone had to comply while on French territory.
