On my first trip from Czech Republic to Germany in 2008 (as a foreign student from Eastern Europe) I was surprised there was German police checking passengers' IDs. I didn't have all the required documents with me because I thought there would be no checks at all because I had a Schengen visa. Fortunately the police officers were pretty cool and left me alone after I explained who I was and why I didn't have all the documents with me.
- Scoundreller 4y agoFrance was still doing internal border controls at airports "temporarily for 6 months due to exception circumstances" but renews them repeatedly so it's not really temporary. A big waste of time when they do this in Toulouse on a flight from Brussels when you could drive to France faster without a border control. Most of EU has legally done this, but actual application is more patchy: https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/schengen-area/temporary-reintroduction-border-control_en https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-...
