Switzerland. The Republic and Canton of Neuchâtel. Fontainemelon. Narcotics squad. "Narko" operation. Two police officers on duty (both in plain-clothes) control the identity of a man from Western Africa. The policemen look for illegal substances (drugs). The black men will be left free at the end of the control. Plainclothes law enforcement is a method used by police. The policemen wear plainclothes or "ordinary clothes" instead of a uniform in order to avoid detection or identification as law enforcement agents. Police officers in plainclothes must identify themselves when using their police powers. Fontainemelon is a former municipality in the district of Val-de-Ruz.9.04.15 © 2015 Didier Ruef
