      random searches. they stop the trains in the middle of nowhere and armed police walk through to check the passport of anyone they deem suspicious.

      at least that’s how they did it in germany. in denmark the old mustachioed conductor did it with the ticket check as the train was in motion. much smoother

        Damn that is brutal… :/ (but unfortunately not at all out of character)

        I’ll have to seriously inform myself on this topic, thanks for making me (more) aware of it!

          I’ve experienced it a couple of times. It’s typically a fast process and they ask a handful of people to produce documents. Refer to the meme to guess who they are choosingto speak with.

          Still a monumental waste of everyone’s time, but it could be worse. I’ve moved to Germany from the US so honestly it’s just been a massive improvement overall. Hopefully these policies are reversed before things get worse
