Man Arrested At Illegal Checkpoint For Not Showing HIS PAPERS!! (youtube.com)
They have this kind of law (ie they have this kind of absense of civil rights) in a lot of latin countries, where you are legally obligated to carry government ID at all times and show it to the police any time they ask. They also require it to check into hotels, rent whatever, etc, and at these locations, random workers like receptionists and clerks just use a cellphone and take a picture of your government ID (this is actually illegal in some of these countries and the people doing it and everyone else know it is illegal to photograph an ID, but they do it anyway). You might expect massive identity fraud, and yes, the magority of the population is very concerned about ID fraud there, as polled. However, they have a weird consrvatism that causes them to never stand up for their civil rights (except in violent protests).
