but as a general norm you will not get put in cuffs if you aren't breaking the law, it boils down to being that simple.
This is generally true and very simple for white people.
But it's not true for people like 16 year old Kalief Browder, who broke no law and who was falsely accused of stealing a backpack, charged with robbery, grand larceny, and assault, was given a chance to leave Riker's after 16 months if he admitted to two misdemeanors (which he refused because he was innocent) and was held at Riker's for 3 years. When he came out he committed suicide due to the mental scarring he had been through, and he was quoted as saying he feels he was robbed of his happiness.
All of this could have been avoided if only he just was not a black kid. That is the sad truth, and the only truth. He was held at Riker's for 3 years for being a black kid.
The American Criminal Justice system failed this kid, who btw had no priors and was a smart kid and a tutor for other kids in community college. They failed him because he was black, and that's a shame.

Sweden 16.0% -Half of the foreigners in Sweden are Europeans, IE from Finland, Poland.
Switzerland 28.3% -Same with Switzerland As of 2012, resident foreigners made up 23.3% of the population, one of the largest proportions in the developed world. Most of these (64%) were from European Union or EFTA countries. Italians were the largest single group of foreigners, with 15.6% of total foreign population, followed closely by Germans (15.2%), immigrants from Portugal (12.7%), France (5.6%), Serbia (5.3%), Turkey (3.8%), Spain (3.7%), and Austria (2%).
United Kingdom 12.3% - U.K has a tad bit more NON European immigrants than the others, but not by much, 88% of their population is still European.
Compare that with the USA which has a European population of only around 65%.
