A policeman who wore his hair in a modest Mohican style should have been allowed to work on the streets, a police appeal committee said on Tuesday.



The case was brought by a 28-year-old police officer in Rotterdam who was confined to desk duties in 2006 for having a 3cm longer strip of hair running down the centre of his head. His superiors said the Mohican made him look like a supporter of far right political views.

The police officer is no longer with the force and works as a private security guard, news agency ANP said.
