Identity Checks in Paris

Résumé

Of all the prerogatives the French police forces exercise in public places, the identity check (IC) is certainly the one that draws the most frequent reproaches of bias, harassment, and discrimination. The French commonly use the term contrôle au faciès, or looks-based checks, for what specialists call ethnic or racial profiling. This designates the « use by the police, with no objective and reasonable justification, of grounds such as race, colour, language, religion, nationality or national or ethnic origin, in control, surveillance, or investigative activities ».
