do you happen to have a photo of the incident? i would be curious

i have been ID checked before when travelling from italy to austria by train. As i'm 20-30 year old and was travelling alone, i suspect it was about curbing migration or sth. But they didn't register it in a database.

Not sure why I would need a photo for what has become a common practice in Germany. Taking pics of cops just risks triggering aggression so I would need good reason to do it.
