Swedish Police Banned From Describing Criminals Anymore in Case They Sound Racist
14th January 2016
Swedish police will no longer be able to give descriptions of alleged criminals for fear of being seen as racist.
According to an internal letter, police in capital city Stockholm are instructed to refrain from describing suspects’ race and nationality, according to news website Speisa.
…
The crimes “involve everything from lighter traffic accidents to serious crimes like muggings, beatings and murder,” the paper reported.
The letter specifies that, for everyday crimes such as burglary, basic information such as ethnicity, nationality, skin colour and height should not be given.

We already do that. When the press reports the description of some wanted felon, they only describe the person if he/she is white. “Police are asking for the public’s help in finding the fugitive, who is described as 6 feet tall.” Thanks to PC, there’s no hope of getting information.
