Maybe not routine, but UK law allows police and border checks, and did so when we were in the EU. There are credible accusations of this power being over used and misused.
- andix 2y agoThe UK always had a very American position on those subjects. But they left the EU more than 5 years ago.
- graemep 2y agoMy point was being in the Eu did not preclude those laws and EU countries vary. Some EU countries have more of a Russian position on these things! I very much is a question of national, not EU law so you cannot generalise about the EU. Where the EU does have laws on these things it has been very anti-privacy and pro-surveillance.
