Identity checks at events where the public order may be in danger are also allowed. Otherwise random identity checks by the police are not allowed in principle but can happen in certain areas such as a train station or doubtful areas i.e. redlight district, and a fine for not showing proof of identity may be successfully challenged in such cases.

Overview	<p>The Netherlands&#039; name reflects its low-lying topography, with more than a quarter of its total area under sea level.</p> <p>Now a constitutional monarchy, the country began its independent life as a republic in the 16th century, when the foundations were laid for it to become one of the world&#039;s foremost maritime trading nations. </p> <p>Although traditionally among the keener advocates of the European Union, Dutch voters echoed those in France by spurning the proposed EU constitution in a 2005 referendum. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17740800">Full Article</a>	<p>Once the centre of the Ottoman Empire, the modern secular republic was established in the 1920s by nationalist leader Kemal Ataturk.</p> <p>Straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey&#039;s strategically important location has given it major influence in the region - and control over the entrance to the Black Sea.</p> <p>Turkey&#039;s progress towards democracy and a market economy was halting in the decades following the death of President Ataturk in 1938. The army saw itself as the guarantor of the constitution, and ousted governments on a number of occasions when it thought they were challenging secular values. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17988453">Full Article</a>
