32. Both 'pedestrian spot checks' and 'language/appearance checks' involved individuals on foots being apprehended in public spaces.

For example, where one of the sample group was asked 'show me your passport' rather than merely 'show me your ID' we assigned them to category 'language/appearance check' on the basis that there have been a suspicion that the person was a non-citizen based on criteria such as appearance or language spoken.
