Any country that requires you to 'show your papers' to go about your business is on a very steep and even slippery slope...... Just take a quick look at the US today for a preview of the future, they've had ID on demand to various degrees for years, and now their leaders are either crackpots or crackheads if not both, regardless their political persuasion, forcing the country to live out a reality too freaky and scary for even a Stephen King tome.
