Sweden's proposition to establish 'security zones,' which would allow police to conduct body searches and vehicle inspections without concrete suspicion, is facing scrutiny.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer has been reported to the Constitution Committee by the Centre Party, accusing him of misleading statements regarding the debated proposal aimed at combating gang crime.

Meanwhile, the Social Democrats criticize the proposal's scope as insufficient and warn against ethnic profiling, a concern echoed by Civil Rights Defenders and other authorities.

The government's proposal, which also allows for profiling based on clothing style and includes children in potential searches, has sparked controversy over potential discrimination and arbitrary enforcement.

The zones are set to be implemented from March 28, with Linköping's Skäggetorp identified as a particularly vulnerable area.

Locals express mixed feelings, with some questioning the focus on specific neighborhoods and others welcoming increased security measures.
