In the article I found the sentence: "The French National Gendarmerie tends to refer to "MENS" ("Minorités Ethniques Non-Sédentarisées")[citation needed], a neutral administrative term meaning "Travelling Ethnic Minorities".
This is of course not a neutral term, because Manouche, Roma, Gitanes (i.e. Roma) in broad majority have their homes like other minorities too, and are not more "travelling" than others. In Germany police had a similar termn MEM, this is now a overpowered behavoiour.--Pachycrapsus (talk) 21:01, 11 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
